"Darragh McMullan should not have started today having not played a single second of league football."
Walter Walsh made his debut for Kilkenny hurlers in the All-Ireland Final.
Not even remotely comparable.
Kilkenny were going for 8 All Irelands out of 9 that day, which they achieved. A powerhouse of a team, fully aware of what would and wouldn't work for them.
And us, a good chance of winning what could be described as "respectable" silverware since 2008...it wasn't the time for experiments.
I will again caveat that the bug may have played a part and that I think young Darragh is a good footballer who could have a bright future with us.
