Rewind: 'It’s time for Kilkenny to get off their backside' - Spillane
Pat Spillane called out an unfair advantage for the Kilkenny footballers
Share Your View - Kerry football legend and former Sunday Game pundit, Pat Spillane has argued it's time for Kilkenny 'to get off their backside and enter a team in the National Football League.'
Writing in The Sunday World last summer, the eight-time All-Ireland winner claimed Kilkenny's access to the All-Ireland Junior Championship is 'wrong'.
"Kilkenny are the only county in Ireland that do not enter a team in the National Football League. I watched them play on Friday night against London and there are some damn good footballers there," he said.
"Yet despite not taking part in the league, they’ve a ticket into this junior championship. And every couple of years they win one match and they get an opportunity which many weaker counties don’t get, of playing in a final in Croke Park.
"That’s wrong," he added.
"It’s time for Kilkenny to get off their backside and enter a team in the National Football League."
