"He wouldn't really be up with what's going on in the GAA world, in my view. My honest opinion is I feel a bit sorry for him. Ger isn't involved with any clubs. He hasn't been involved with anyone since he went to Galway and did not have a good time. He actually couldn't read a game. If you read any of his articles, he can't read the game. He doesn't see what is going on. I don't hate Ger Loughnane. I feel sorry for him. Because every single week he is having a cut at someone. It'll be me today and trust me, it'll be someone else again in a few weeks, just look at the way he writes... I remember the night I asked him to present medals to the team [managed to the Liam MacCarthy Cup by Fitzgerald] in 2013, he actually said to them he did not rate them a good team until they won a second one, which I thought was a very nasty thing to say to them. Before we played Galway in 2015, the things he said about them were unreal, he gave them so much motivation. I remember a member of the Galway management team telling me only a year or two ago that Ger gave them so much motivation, they had things up in their dresssing room. That tells its own story about Ger Loughnane. The only one who is 'me, me, me' is Ger Loughnane."
