In a weekend where every team i support and play with got pasted, this cheered me up, worthy of a thread of its own, ive always liked this man, legend imo.

That is class. You wouldn't see McGeeney do thon.

The kids are so cute! i can't imagine Brian Cody or Jack O Connor doing that before a big game.

ONeill · February 28, 2011, 12:25:43 AM

Eh? Why are the kids "cute"?

common its the innocence... it wouldn't look the same if he did that with the lyon players

He acknowledges the kids. Big deal. What has the world become if this is remarkable, never mind "worthy of a thread on its own".

When have you seen any GAA player/manager acknowledge kids, with millions watching, like that? (usually zoned in?)

Or any other professional sportsman?

Hardy · February 28, 2011, 12:45:01 AM

I wouldn't have taken any notice.

(Poor response) Because it doesn't happen.

That's excellent fair play to Jose.

Sorry about the quality of my response. To what standard should I aspire?

Because it is so unusual in a world of over paid and over hyped prima donnas, it is noteworthy that someone shows a human side. Whether he played it for the cameras or not he would have made the day for the young kids. Fair dues to him I say and a nice little side story at a time of doom and gloom.

Denn Forever · February 28, 2011, 10:31:04 AM

That put a smile on my face.

Always says alot I think for these big games when there is a mascot or two for the captain to lead out, when they take a bit of time and actually speak to the kids before or on the way out. I think it reflects very well on the person involved, BOD is very good at it, have noticed Rio doing it a few times when he capatined United.

Just when you think about it, if it was your kid, how good would it be for them first off to be a mascot and the secondly for their idol to actually take a few seconds and make the effort to speak to them How made up would they not be?

IMO says alot about the person when they are focused on a game to be able to do that.
