The hurling once again failed to deliver at the weekend and it was hard to listen to Sambo McNaughton who was obviously pained by the fact that Antrim had been mauled for the second week running.
Sambo is a proud hurling man who gave it everything when he took to the field and who has put a lot into Antrim hurling since his retirement but he was at a loss to bring any sense to the tankings his side had just suffered.
I thought he was being too hard on himself and the hurlers, they are playing at the wrong level and they can't and won't improve just by turning up against the big boys.
I thought GAA's most important programme the Sunday Game was again poor on the state of hurling in the country.
There was the usual polite silence about the fact that Laois and Antrim had just been destroyed and shouldn't be playing at this stage of the competition.
It's like no one wants to talk about the elephant in the room.
Hurling was the loser this weekend and there is an onus on headquarters to come up with a system which gives us a competitive All-Ireland series and which places the second tier of teams at a level where they can compete.
