Hurling Banter Page and Buff Egan Discussion

CK22

Just a forum to discuss the Hurling Banter Page on Facebook, Snapchat and Instagram. It is a topic most Hurling people love to talk about, so hopefully we can have a laugh. If Buff wants to join, we would happily take you, ignore the haters chief. Hail Hail.

I don’t think he’s naive at all, you can see in his snaps that he’s well aware that people try to take advantage of him on nights out looking to get a rise out of him or some defaming picture or video and the treatment he gets on nights out is something he rants about quite often.

As he says himself, any haters that he gets, he sentences them too ‘deletion’ and doesn’t let it bother him too much (at least on the face of things).

The guy has the backing of a serious number of intercounty hurlers and nobody is laughing at him except a few begrudging idiots who you’ll always get in Ireland.

The guy is an absolute legend but I feel he may inevitably sell out and end up taking a paid position of some sort which will be a disaster as the novelty of what he does will inevitably fade end and his star will sizzle out.

Long may it last though, absolutely fantastic personality and promoter of the game.

Oh will you stop, he was pissed and was trying to get stuck into someone, You can see 100 lads at that craic every Saturday night, That video is more of a reflection on the idiot who recorded it than anything else.

Not the thing you want broadcast all over the internet though really in all honesty. Everyone does it but they are not always on camera and not always widely known.

We are also in the age of a revolution of sorts against sexual harassment and also trial by media. Some of it overdue and some of it a load of pc horse shít.

From that point of view you would be worried for him that he would end up in a compromising position. I genuinely dont think the lad means harm but with todays women I would fear for him.

Jesus Christ, he's like a ****ing horny dog you need to throw a bucket of water over. Honestly, is someone going to step in and take care of him and stop pretending the country isn't having a big laugh at the poor lads expense? It's not right that he is being left to do this stuff with the whole country laughing up their sleeve at him, he'll do harm to himself in the end.

And thats not a new video, it was originally shared about 6 months ago, Just some loser dragging it up again to try and get some followers.

I cant help feeling that the lad needs a bit of reeling in or advising on his usage of social media at this stage. He does strike me as extremely harmless yet very naive at the same time.

Yeah he means no harm or anything but obviously there's nobody close to him willing to tell him to take care of himself. He's not the full shilling like. Social media can be a cruel world for a lad like that.

Did anyone see his appearance at the Limerick Hurling Boxing Fundraiser? Definitely worth watching the video Limerick GAA has up on Facebook.

I see he made it up to Navan on Saturday, fair play to him. My one criticism of Buff is that he's insistent on calling out Rorys Stories and the Two Johnnies. It's like comparing apples and oranges having a go at them like.

Just saw on his snapchat that someone hacked his facebook page and took it offline. He won't like that for sure.

a lad from America visited him today who is a big follower of his page

amazing what social media can do for a person

big_drive

Tomorrow he’s going to kanturk Ballyduff which I had hoped to attend but can’t now. So I’ll be very glad of his updates and clips, otherwise I wouldn’t see a bit of it

eurokev

I love following him, only way I get to see bits of matches I wouldn't be able to.

Have to say, it's only a matter of time before he does something stupid and ruins his life.
He is so public, out in the open, popular and not the brightest penny for it not to happen.
I hope I'm wrong though

This constant crying over not getting his hole instantly because he has a popular Internet page is embarrassing.

From my understanding it is all an act and he does very well with the women, The page is a mixture of diehard GAA coverage and sheer comedy with the occasional cooking thrown in.

His appeal is huge. Set up an Instagram account only recently and has over 50k followers already. Some big companies can’t get that type of following

Would want to cash in while he’s the opportunity

It seems to be mainly young kids/young teenagers who follow him!

Would be quiet cynical to cash in on that market though imo?

Companies would be afraid to sponsor him. Like SuperValu could sponsor his cooking for example but its his outbursts that would make them stay clear. They wouldnt want to be promoting him if that was the case. Buff says what he wants and I'm not sure thats gonna change any time soon

Bit creepy now alright

He's become a creep.

Following Buff for 9 months or so now on Snapchat, FB and Instagram. Good enough coverage of hurling all across the country and fair play to him if he makes a few Euro from it. Wouldn't like to be near him at a match though.

One thing he really needs to cut out is "oh I would yeah" when standing in front of women. Some of the girls he's said it to have looked young. He'll say it to the wrong person someday and will get a box for his troubles from a boyfriend/parent.

Why deos he bother engaging with these lads in particular negative comments??

Its a zero win game

He abuses back,wastes energy comes across bad,. ..no one's going to apologise/say sorry

There's no path ends up in a winning position...let his supporters argue back and forth with trolls on the comment sections....that's not his battle?

I'd guess he either secretly likes the attention, does it for entertainment purposes, or else hasn't realised that that sort of reaction isn't helpful.

The fcuking state of him. How do his friends and relations let him make a national show of himself? I wouldn't let him out without a bicycle helmet.

To be fair if you're a fan of hurling in Mayo, and knowing how seriously people from those two clubs take that particular rivalry, I doubt your commitment to the cause would be shaken by the opinions of a jumped up ludraman like Buff Egan.

Agreed. Though I was mainly referring to younger fans of national school age that idolise Buff and take his word for gospel.

Heard it through the grapevine that he was awful rude to some fans at the Mayo County Final between Tooreen and Ballyhaunis. Praising Tooreen on his story but saying in the stands that it was the worst display of hurling he'd seen and that he regretted making the trek up. Awful disheartening to hurling fans in more football dominated areas if this is true.
