At last Saturday night’s Waterford v Cork game, I met Cork CEO Kevin O’Donovan. The accusation that the team lacked tactical flexibility and was defensive as opposed to the cavalier, gun-slinging approach of the noughties — the ‘Waterford Way’ — is completely fabricated. This mindset that the last few years have ‘not been the Waterford Way’ hasn’t been helped by the contradictory opinions of some ex-Waterford stars. Instead of admonishing and criticising, perhaps they and the board should ask themselves: what is their vision for Waterford? Friends with a shared vision just like Swift and Shakespeare:Swift said: “Vision is the art of seeing what is invisible to others”.
