Paul Galvin

[ross matt]

Galvin craves attention, simple as that.
When he then gets unwanted attention from people on the Sunday Game who simply point out what he has done (yet again) he plays the victim. He wants his cake and eats it!
You can't do an RTE documentary, go on the late late show, allow cameras follow him to NYC, plaster himself in tatoos and wear statement clothing and NOT crave the limelight... but then as soon as someone points out that he stuck his finger in an apponants mouth he huffs and puffs like a spoilt child. I personally believe that there is loads of room for flamboyant characters in our games but not those who have low discipline levels and expect us to ignore these and concentrate only on his latest pair of shiny shoes!

Having got involved in all of the pr waffle lately it isnt going to be any easier for Galvin in 2011. Clearly all of the recent pr stuff is geared towards a new media career.

Never a truer word spoken CK. But you're going to embarress Tony Baloney with that post!

Did you actually watch the documentary? He stated a few times how stupid he was for doing that. He then shunned any media requests for a response. How on earth is that huffing and puffing?

Definitely a colourful character. I missed the start of it and assume this was a documentary on the life of the then current Player of the Year? No problem with that and always an interesting concept.

The man may be full of contradictions, especially regarding his attitude to the media be it on TV or print, but it was decent viewing and much better than a lot of the crap we're subjected to over Christmas.

Couldn't agree more. Regardless of what anyone thinks of Galvin or the show, it was nice to see a GAA programme on at a prime time on RTE-  whats rare is beautiful.. Pity RTE couldn't come up with a few more over Christmas. TG4 puts them to shame.

Also might get a few lads down in the pub to forget about the Premier League for 5 minutes at least... i can only hope

I thought it was very well filmed.
Some great shots of the beautiful scenery in Kerry.
Good soundtrack too.
The match footage really captured the speed and intensity of championship football.

Agreed Jinxy. Thought that was by far the best part of the show. Galvin is an amazingly powerful and well balanced athlete to watch in motion. Pity there was'nt a bit of insight in to how much and what kind of training he does on his own... his diet etc. Unless he's a complete natural I imagine he must do quite alot of specialised training to reach the levels of performance he frequently achieves. Like I said before definitely the most effective player in the game. Pity about the rest of the baggage that goes with him.

O'Neill did you see how he broke down one of the Cork incidences to claim innocence and unfair treatment? He has gone out of his way to infer Tohill is not worthy to judge him on TV.... bit of a coincidence considering it's big Anthony that highlighted the fishhook incident. Definitely went out of his way to paint himself as the misunderstood bad boy.

Sad to see the RTE license payers money go into what is just a publicity vehicle to launch some players career.

Have to say I really enjoyed the show last night.

Galvin is a great player. His ability to control and influence games was well documented last night.

And he is completely different. A lot of it may be superficial, and full of contradictions, and the man is prob a thesis waiting to happen. But I've read loads of articles in last few years complaining how gaelic players are clones with no personality. So I thought it was great.

We could get him to work in Armagh selling shoes in Middletown market and then he could transfer up

He has a great body.
I defo would.

Most of his detractors on here made their minds up before seeing the documentary.

He's a f**king fancy dan disgrace with his oul tattoos and tight trousers. Probably a gaylord.

You might have to kick "Chris agus snoop" out of the way. He seems to have a thing for Galvin.

Does the man not already have a career as a teacher?

He'd be hard pushed to be as obsessed by Mr Metrosexual as you obviously are
