Paul Galvin

[Maguire01]

Why would anyone engage with the media when they treat him like Sweeney did in that article?

Paul, there's such a thing as an enigma. And then there's such a thing as an asshole. Don't start getting them confused.

Sweeney might start taking his own advice.

Did he really write that? I've no love for Galvin but thats out of order from Sweeney, a Gaelic footballer shouldnt have to take abuse like that from the media.

I think if you actively seek publicity like Galvin. You have to take the consequences that go with it.

Exactly. It's not nice, but Galvin put himself up to publicise the competition and then shunned the media. That's not the way to play the game.

Thats just it. Galvin has heavily publicised his interests in fashion, writes a newspaper column, done a documentary on himself etc. You cant just pick out the bits of being in the public eye you like and get a carte blanche on criticism from the media. He's more then an amateur Gaelic Footballer at this stage. He earns money from the media.
So for me Sweeney is well within his rights.

Sweeney, when you read this you're way,way out of order.

If you wanted to call Galvin an asshole, why did you have to try and conceal it under these auspices ?.

The Indo has reached a new low.

Is it now acceptable to insult an IC player in the national press ?.

I know the journos weren't happy that Galvin didn't wait arond the other day, but come on lads, this is out of order. To say that he brought this on himself is not right either. He doesn't speak to media, so it's alright to be insulted publicly the following Sunday in the national papers cos he "brought it on himself" ? How do you come up with that one ?.

Jesus Indiana, I'm shocked.

There are plenty of GAA lads earning money from the media but no journo has publicly sunk to this low before. I don't see how it's acceptable at all.

What sort of a precedent is this setting ? Where is it going to finish ?

I did and still don't see any justification for this. I'm sorry but I don't.

Sweeney has sunk much lower before.

How ?

[muppet]

Sweeney is basically calling him unprofessional, by calling him an Asshole in a newspaper article.

Hilarious hypocrisy really.

Callling him unproferssional would have been fine.

Calling him an asshole surely isn't on ?.

[Maguire01]

He didn't actually call him an asshole at all.

..and how much money have the newspapers  made off selling stories about Paul Galvin to fools like you ? You can be sure Paul Galvin has seen none of that money.

More power to him, the middle finger is exactly what those t**ts deserve.

I'd say Galvin hasn't given the middle finger to very many tw*ts...

Hang on a second:

- How many Gaa players personally commissioned a documentary about themselves and broadcast it?

Thats inviting celebrity in my view. No problem with him doing it but you have to take what goes with that and he doesn't actually call him an asshole.

He doesn't just see himself as a Gaa player anymore. Cant just take the bits you like that go with that anymore. His day job is now essentially the public eye.

Ok please explain why the word asshole appears in Sweeney's article about Galvin.

He's referring to the thin line that exists.
