JOHNNY GLYNN PLAYED a starring role in Galway’s win over Cork — and then served up a gloriously frank interview live on TV.
Glynn scored 1-2 as the Tribesmen set an All-Ireland semi-final date against Tipperary, including a magnificent solo goal in the opening minute.
Joe Canning only managed one point from play and Glynn rubbished the suggestion that Galway are dependent on their Allstar forward.
“What’s this about Galway only having one forward?” RTÉ’s Joanne Cantwell asked him.
“It’s fucking bullshit, as you can see yourself,” an off-the-cuff Glynn said before apologising for the expletives.
“Six forwards there. Joe is probably the best forward in the game but there’s five more of us there. When you pull a bit of heat off him, you see how well he can play.”

Glynn also gave the most modest assessment of his superb goal which set Galway on the road to their 2-28 to 0-22 win after just 48 seconds.
“It was poxy enough now to be honest. I suppose when I got the first goal I just pushed on from there. It was just lucky that everything broke my way.
All I remember is that I thought I was going to get clobbered on the way.
“I threw the ball up in the air, I dunno, it was pure luck now in fairness, pure luck.
“When I started running I didn’t stop and when I got the chance on goal, I said I’d stay going.
“It opened up. In fairness, the boys around me pulled everyone out of my way and I’d clear auld run. The hard work was done by the boys running off.”
Glynn’s colourful contribution was very well received:
Somewhere on this Island some arsehole is writing a letter of complaint to RTE. Got a good laugh watching it.
“Think of the children!!!”
still get less complaints than that soap last week
Would us not go in there instead of her John? I think you’d be good at it anyway….
Terrible interviewer she is anyway. Remember her having some embarrassing ones with Richie Bennis a few years ago. Mortifying stuff
Elegantly put young man..
His mammy will kill him.
Galway still on for the double
I’m surprised this doesn’t happen more often to be honest. You’ve just won an important game, gave everything, adrenaline is flowing and some idiot sticks a mic in your face 5/mins later. I remember Rooney giving an interview after winning the FA Cup were he said he was fu*cking delighted to win. Sky had to apologise about a hundred times. He’d just won a trophy ffs….relax!
that’s what I loved about this one. nobody felt the need to apologize. just happned and moved on.
Wayne Rooney has never won an FA Cup.
Bit harsh to call the interviewer an idiot for just doing their job but yep, good to see a bit of that on TV instead of the usual sterility!
What a gas man
He’s probably lost every man of match award he was ever going to get, they’ll be too afraid to interview him now!
I’ll have you know I am not an arsehole.
his shoulder was top notch also. ..good day for him all round
brilliant… laughed my arse off
Honest reaction to a question… Good man….. Gallimh Abu…
Joe Canning thee best forward in hurling, not even in the top five…
Name the top five then.
Richie Hogan, Seamie Callanan, TJ Reid, Bubbles, Richie Power
beano. Rooney has never won the fa cup.
Is there anything to be said for another mass! Holy mary johnny Glynn
