Great player or not, is this guy the greatest whinger and martyr of all time or what.
He keeps going on about the fact that he works. Well newsflash Sean Og, so do the rest of us.
From Hoganstand
Sean Og O hAilpin has conceded that the player strike saga in Cork could well have brought down the curtain on his career.
The legendary wing back admits that if he'd remained out of action for the entire season then his days in the Cork jersey could have whimpered out ingloriously:
"I would have preferred to be four or five nights a week training rather than four or five nights a week meeting in hotel rooms and trying to get our case forward.
"The fact that we are working as well, we had to work around that. It has been stressful, let's put it that way.
"I think players were probably resigned to the fact that if this thing wasn't resolved that the year would be a write-off. For guys like myself, we would be looking at our careers gone at that stage."
