    I had a quick look at the hurling banter page and it's laughable to suggest this guy has any journalistic abilities. He's only in it for the attention. Even joe.ie would be wasting money paying him to report on sports news.
    If he didn't have a phone and social media would he be going to games the length and breadth of the country every week? Would he ****. It's all just a way of getting attention so I don't see journalistic qualities in this lad.

    RTE have alot worse on their books :P

    While the cooking has nothing to do with hurling,

    I do think it's a good thing showing his very young tween followers in particular,how to cook a meal from scratch :)

    He's some hurling man alright; turned his back on his own club. Repeated claims to be from Clare as well instead of Kilgarvan, Co Kerry.

    He's a spoofer

    Exactly. Honest to god with all the corrupt overpaid pr1cks we have running this country, the incompetence and the wastage of money and yet we are only bothered about an ordinary man from Kerry who loves hurling and is having the craic :rolleyes:

    Refused to play with them any longer due to a perceived personal slight over some friend of his being dropped for not turning up to training.

    He was also running their FB page for ages and promptly turned it into a page for having digs against the club officers and committee. He also accused them of trying to turn the club into a football only club. Not to mention the attacks on the Kerry county board for focusing on football over hurling.

    He also accused some Kerry footballers of insulting the Christy Ring winning team by not posting congratulations etc.

    The man is not well.

    Don't forget about his rant when he didn't get the ticket he was ''entitled'' to for the 2013 final

    He loves taking digs at Rory’s Stories and The 2 Johnnies.

    Does he not realise they are a comedy act?

    the kids seem to relate to him, even in the likes of Westmeath

    and if it gets kids talking about the GAA and hurling then that's great

    if he's getting a few bits of sponsorship then more power to him.

    I just won't be supporting a corporate charity fundraiser when he retires

    He had 2 excellent match reports today from the 2 Waterford games. Wouldn't have gotten to see those highlights any other way. Had most of the goals in fairness to him.

    As much as I think he is brilliantly Entertaining and gives great insight into the club game I really think he is not the most stable of guys, gets very insulted easily

    Hope he keeps up the work,

    Just noticed the address on the top of one of the letters he put on Snapchat, surely he should realise he can get hate mail too?

    Heard it through the grapevine that he was awful rude to some fans at the Mayo County Final between Tooreen and Ballyhaunis. Praising Tooreen on his story but saying in the stands that it was the worst display of hurling he'd seen and that he regretted making the trek up. Awful disheartening to hurling fans in more football dominated areas if this is true.

    To be fair if you're a fan of hurling in Mayo, and knowing how seriously people from those two clubs take that particular rivalry, I doubt your commitment to the cause would be shaken by the opinions of a jumped up ludraman like Buff Egan.

    Agreed. Though I was mainly referring to younger fans of national school age that idolise Buff and take his word for gospel.

    The fcuking state of him. How do his friends and relations let him make a national show of himself? I wouldn't let him out without a bicycle helmet.
