Geraghty right for once

Love him or hate him you can’t ignore Meath’s Graham Geraghty.
Never far away from controversy throughout his long career Geraghty has been one of the most gifted players of his generation.
Last season even in the twilight of his career his quick thinking, courage and sheer will to win set him apart once again on a Meath team which surprised everyone by its good run in the All-Ireland qualifying series.
Geraghty, never one for avoiding a fight, has entered into the controversy around the Cork players strike of the early season.
He accused them of holding the GAA to ransom and felt that the Rebels should have been thrown out of the League after not fulfilling their first two fixtures.
I have always been a great admirer of Geraghty the footballer though I rarely agreed with him on anything else.
For once I find myself in agreement with the Meath star as I don’t think headquarters would have given any other county, outside of possibly Dublin or Kerry the latitude the Rebels got this year.
