That's one example but I think when Gavin had defended him over the CCCC incident involving the Keegan sending off, he had received a bollicking which washed over him like water off a duck's back............April 2017 in the league final he tripped a Kerry defender up when the ball was nowhere near either of them and got black-carded...what's new?? 1 of his teammates, Kilkenny was caught sneering and clapping sarcastically by a freelancer...he then got his 12 week ban for the linesman incident which was not appealed and his ego was damaged. Also, when he wasn't starting in last yr's final, he togged out in a sleeveless t-shirt in protest.........hasn't played a full game since.....Gavin is like Mickey Harte...ruthless.
Only one problem, John.........Dubs and Gavin needed him to come on at half-time last yr and he won the free that Rock converted. They need him...my money has switched on to Kerry for this yr's final.
