Lots of pundits can describe or analyse what’s on the pitch - Ken does a tongue in cheek psychoanalysis of the protagonists and antagonists. It’s all largely horse**** and I love it

Sounds like his book is like Father Teds golden cleric speech full of score-settling lol I do love hurling - but Davy Fitz's voice and his verbal ticks go through me like a dose of salts.. I don't think I could subject myself to it

Because it happened at a football match Ken was more inclined to defend it, if the same thing happened at a GAA match he'd be 'Oh those savages at it again'
