No excuse this tiredness sh*te ... maybe if they were having a dirty fry at 9 then out to train at 10 then come in and drop a litre of Coke and chill out watch Jerry Springer . Until 12 and then have toasted cheese ham and onion with a cup of scald with a twix and back out to train for 1.30 . Back in at 3 ish and Bondi Recsue is on for 2 hours and then it's time for cream mash potatoes with corned beef and white sauce with York cabbage . Out the door for the late night training and you are bet into your training bib like Peter Kay in the John Smith advert and give it your all !

No the reality is that these lads have the best of facilities , physios , nutritionists and food that money can buy . Tiredness get over it lads

That was brilliant mate

Tiredness is the worst possible excuse I've ever heard from professional footballers. It's a copout & I don't believe it to be the case for any footballer for even a second.

My brother has played senior intercounty hurling for the last 5 years. In the last 5 years he's had almost no break from hurling at all between club & county. He's an accountant and he often works through lunch in order to make it out the door for training. He has 3 children under the age of 6 and they've never had a family holiday, something which bothers him most about what he does. In all the years he has been playing he has never complained about tiredness. I can remember when he was 18 and in first year in college he was on the hurling & football panels for the college & the club at minor, U21 & senior as well as playing minor & u21 for the county. Between training & matches he was on the go for 7 days straight. Even then I didn't hear him complain once.

Brady has, & always has had, a terrible f**kïng attitude & it pisses me off. Over the last 6 months he just looks like he can't be bothered & fellas defending him must know this deep down.

Anateur hurling isn't professional football bud . Apples and oranges

Think that fact is underestimated a lot. Brady (as well as Hendrick, Duffy) looked knackered v Austria . The break will do them good. He is only 25.... tiredness should not be an issue. It probably is after a long season regardless of age. There's a reason Fergie, Wenger and all them were harping on about the amount of games played for players in the English leagues. It's a fairly bullsh*t excuse. The only major league with less games in the German League. But there's other domestic cup competitions and the Championship has 8 more fixtures than the Premiership. If the managers in the EPL, Klopp more recently are telling you there's too many games with no winter break unlike most European leagues, then they're hardly making it up for the craic. I would go with what they're saying. Do you think tiredness/lack of energy had no factor in O'Neill's selection for the Italy game or is that a bullsh*t excuse too? Do you know who never complain of tiredness? The league champions....

GAA good - Football bad

I agree to a point. Currently speaking it probably is important to play him on the left flank but in time the experience he's getting playing more central will hopefully be an asset to us.
