He says, we're just going to put someone else.
I'm not sure who at the time went in wing back.
That's right, sorry.
And Seamus Cavanaugh, the sub-goalkeeper, was in goal.
And I said, Guilhem, you're having a joke.
He said, no, Larry, that's the truth.
I couldn't believe it.
And we played a bit of 15 on 15.
And I scolded everyone that came around me.
I was so mad, so frustrated.
But he came over and he said, Larry, if we need you next Sunday, that's the determination.
I want you back to that level again.
So...
I think it was half time in Turles when Liam Griffin got a couple of shouts from the crowd bring on Larry bring on Larry so the change happened that Larry always brought on back wing back and I done quite well when I come back on but just to prove a point to Liam Griffin that you know he'll never drop me again and after the match I had said it to him never ever give me a subs jersey again
it hurt so much inside I don't know why it hurt but it did hurt everyone wants to be on the starting team yeah and I remember at the end when the All-Ireland was all over and I came into the dressing room and he gave me a big hug and he said do you remember what you said to me the day or the week in the build up to that league final semi-final again Galway quarter-final sorry and I says I can't really he says you said to me Liam you'll never ever give me a subs jersey again well now Larry he says you were dead right you proved me in a big way
Yeah, in terms of being messy, clumsy, flicking ball overhead, you know, not playing the ball that I should have been playing, overdoing it a bit too much.
You know, sometimes when you get so much laid back and so much, maybe, as the lads say, you're over-coving, you think you're above everyone else.
So he wanted me to stick to the plan and I probably ran off rails and he wasn't happy with it.
So he pointed a finger at me and said, I don't want any more of that.
off you come.
