dulux99 wrote: » He wasn't looking for a journalistic accreditation, he was just looking for a bog standard ticket. He hasn't really made a big deal about it, I feel a year ago he probably would have lost the head but he took this on the chin. It's a joke that he wasn't sorted out with a ticket. Half the crowd on Sunday won't have been to a game all year.

He is a massive hurling follower when it suits. For most people club comes first. It doesnt seem to figure anywhere at all for Buff.

He has been to games that rte didn't even bother to televise or cover on the radio. In terms of advertising the fact that he didn't have a ticket, he is between a rock and hard place. He retweeted a post from someone who said buff hadn't a ticket but didn't make a post himself to say so. I expected him to turn up at the match and send a snap chat on the morning of the match but I couldnt believe he didn't get one. He deserved a ticket and I felt genuinely sorry for him. It just shows he is like a lot of ordinary supporters around the country who didn't get a ticket but the tickets wound up going to people who hadn't been to a game all year. At this stage, he should be given a press pass.

You actually have to go to the trouble of seeking out his page and opting in to follow him in order to see him.

I know people who went to games all year too, to support the county and not for attention seeking, and they couldnt get a ticket for Sunday. Buff only goes to matches for attention and to fill his social profile, the further afield the game the better. If he'd a choice between the Kerry county hurling final or the Donegal county hurling final, he'd surely go to Donegal instead, but he'd never do it if smartphones didn't exist. He's not trying to promote hurling, people are mistakenly crediting him with that. He's just an attention seeker with all the spare time in the world.

Rohan Ashy Steak wrote: » How someone can hold so much bitter begrudgery for a man they haven't met is frightening. Who else do you know who'd be travelling from Kerry to Antrim for club finals? Giving the game exposure at his own expense and asks for nothing in return bar a bit of respect. Last year I remember him being at the Kerry, Cork, Clare, Galway, Waterford, Antrim and Down finals. This isn't mentioning other non-final games around the country. Farcical to suggest there's anyone else around the country travelling to this extent, because guess what? There isn't.
