A top class hurler and no doubt Ber.....

Your right, a helmet is hard to get use to and although many see it as an individuals decision I think the thing is that helmets are compulsary at junior level and the seniors should be seen as role models to the next generation of national sports stars.......... Leading by example and that sort of thing............

Cant agree with u,ure imposing something on an established player that could
really adversley affect his game
Prob here is were gone too soft and pc its a mans game let it be optional and
surely the player should be entitled to decide himself.
As u said the next generation will have been reared with helmets so why not let that me
the cut off point

What may be seen as an adverse affect on play may be a big improvement on health........

The problem is that younger players now see players like him and say why should they have to wear them when the seniors don't have to................

I agree it is difficult to find a cut off point, but it's going to come in eventually and it has to start somewhere............

If he was a truly strong man then why did I see him cry like a little baby when getting torn apart by the kings of hurling from Kilkenny.

PS Helmets are handy for protecting that area of ones body which contains the brain. Rather a surprise than any Corkonian would ever need one.

Danny La Rue, Graham Norton your boys took one hell of a beating.

I think O'sullivan was over reacting here, I read a lot about nasty eye injuries over the years in hurling preventing this by wearing helmets is common sense, discarding helmets during senior matches is just a macho image thing, O'sullivan was clearly influenced in saying this by his disagreement with officials on the Cork team he was looking to get away from full back to play further up field hes done himself no favors & now finds himself isolated, great hurler though.....
