Cant wait till after next years Leinster Final, maybe RTE will put Joanne Cantwell on that one!:)

EDIT: A Riposte, well kind of

Christ almighty that (Marty's wiki page) has to be the funniest thing I've read in ages! "Slept with Twink, Shirley Temple bar and Anne Doyle". Classic stuff

Now,now Marty!

Im not a huge Marty Morrissey fan but Cody was a joke.

He said early in the interview he didnt want to start naming players individually, THEN he started on about Tommy Walsh and Shefflin.

Marty had to ask about the pen, as it was the changing point in the game. All Cody had to say was he didnt see it, or it was 50/50 some you get some you dont, something like that. However he goes on a rant....he wasnt complaining when he was answering questions about the four in a row!!!

Kilkenny won and fair play to them but Cody was out of order with Marty.

(not from Tipp btw)

They'd want to get that changed then if that's inscribed on it!

You're not the first to say this. There was no need at all for Cody to go on the offensive - he could have handled it so differently but unfortunately he just went too far. It's just a pity he couldn't have admitted that but has left this time go by without even trying to undo the damage he did.

Marty is an interviewer and his job is to ask questions. After any match he asks questions based on the main talking points i.e. controversial decisions, always has done, that is his job afterall. If he didn't ask those questions would there be any point in post match interviews? 3 mins into the interview, Cody was clearly getting pi**ed off and Marty tried to ask a different question but Cody interrupted him and went on with a bit of a rant. As an experienced manager I would not have expected that of him. He went down in my estimation. When he looks back at the Youtube video I honestly think he won't be too happy with his outburst, at least I would hope so.

Here's another one. Perhaps if Cody read the posts of the people who are neither from Kilkenny nor Tipperary, then he would be able to gauge the true reaction to his outburst which was uncalled for.

Actually think Coady came out very badly from that. He was the one tha kept bringing up the issue again and agian.

Good TV though Nice to see Marty get a hard time even if he didn't really deserve on this occasion.

Another one.

Well done to Kilkenny, commiserations to Tipperary (who deserved better). At the end of the day, Kilkenny had that extra bit of luck, Tipperary didn't. Nevertheless, a wonderful achievement by Kilkenny.
What has left many people turned off, however, is Brian Coady's appalling behaviour when being interviewed by Marty Morrissey. He is normally very diplomatic, in the cutest possible way, being sure to play up the opposition, even when the opposition is (or was) clearly inferior to Kilkenny. There have been times when it was diplomatic that it just didn't seem sincere.
Yesterday, Brian Coady was extremely ungracious, to say the least. This feeling is widespread and all those who heard the interview with whom I have spoken were simply appalled. Perhaps yesterday, in view of the fact that Kilkenny were fortunate to beat Tipperary, was a time to have been gracious and sincere.
Perhaps another interviewer would not have left him away with the arrogance and aggression he displayed but I would say Marty Morrissey was in shock.
Most neutral supporters would understandably be for the underdog. I think Brian Coady did neither himself nor Kilkenny any favours by the way in which he behaved. His achievements and those of Kilkenny should be acknowledged but I was disappointed by the behaviour. It was unnecessary, ungracious and distasteful. On hearing the interview replayed this morning, it sounded even worse.
He is a man who deserves praise but yesterday's post match performance was certainly NOT one of his finest moments.

Here's another one, presumably from a non Kilkenny/Tipperary contributor.

I wouldnt say he continued bleating on about it.
Marty asked for his opinion on the penalty, Cody went defensive and told him to look at every other decision.
Marty then asked his opinion on the ref letting the game flow and Cody went on the defensive again and started accusing Marty of having a problem with the ref.Marty said he didnt and attempted to change the subject but was interrupted by Cody who was still going on about it.

Again, this is how I saw it. I could go on and on with further examples but I hope Brian Cody, in the clear light of day might read some of these posts and realise that, while he has done much to be proud of, this interview was certainly not one of his finest moments as he lost the respect of a hell of a lot of people.

Marty's a disaster, but sure he can't help it, he's a Clare man !!!

Cody acted like a spoiled child who threw all his toys out of his cot when somebody said something he didn't like. I have always admired the man but honestly, there was no need for his display on Sunday. He didn't do himself any favours. I can understand why Kilkenny fans would come on here and try to defend him. He's a great manager. Like the others, I am not associated in any way with Tipperary. Criticism of Cody's behaviour has nothing to do with that. It's sad to see some Kilkenny fans desperately and mistakenly clutching at straws and claiming that anybody who in any way criticises anything about Cody or Kilkenny, is automatically pro-Tipperary. Not the case. Cody was wrong on this occasion - End of.

I dont think so.MM tried a bit of needle and got it back 10 fold.Proper order.
Anyway,When Cody is enjoying the proceeds of his fortcoming book in the not too distant future,Im sure he will not be bothered with the opinions of an odd few keyboard warriors/jealous bitter nobodies that post on discussion forums,just so to get a bit of attention.

I can understand why people were less than impressed with Brian's comments and I can see that he didn't come across very well in the eyes of a lot of people no matter where they are from.
However I can also understand where Brian is coming from. I think he was probably very upset at some of the coverage of Kilkenny this year particularly on the Sunday game and RTE in general. He and the team had just achieved the greatest feat in hurling history and he didn't want to have to to spend the interview talking about referring decisions as they tend to go both ways but only the ones where Kilkenny benefited were likely to be brought up. He could have found a better way of saying it though. I felt bad for Marty Morrissey who always comes across as a genuine gaa man.

Good man Marty, very relevant question..
Cody let himself down by hes reaction, lost a lot of respect for the man

"so tiger you have just beaten Nicklaus record of major hauls but its said that you do a bit of cursing and unsportsmanlike conduct"

"Alex Ferguson you have just beaten Liverpools record but there was a penalty incident and im going to ask about the ref again and again before any mention of your achievement."

How do you think anyone on Cody's position would have reacted.He just managed a team to an incredible feat and the first thing thrown at him is about a ref decision.He never talks about refs and in his crowning moment he is asked about the ref.

Im a kildare fan so i can be accused of bias but the comments here are ridiculous,Its not like he said he was a holocaust denier or anything.

No it was the 3rd/4th thing he was asked after the 4 in a row and the teams performance.Watch it again

What was Marty supposed to do? He asked very valid questions about the four in a row and the turning points of the game. If intervierers were not to ask these questions then whats the point in post match interviews!!!

I'd say he is losing lots of sleep as a result! :rolleyes:
He's' the most successful manager hurling has ever seen, that's what he will be remembered for, well that's what the hurling community will remember him for anyway, I don't really care what others feel, and I'm sure he's the same.
