Musings from a hospital trolly...
October 01, 2018
Clann na Gael footballer Matt Scally weighs up the positives and negatives after suffering a punctured lung during yesterday's dramatic 1-19 to 0-11 win over Roscommon Gaels.
How's this for a tweet from Clann na Gael footballer Matt Scally.
The joy of helping Clann na Gael set up a first Roscommon SFC final showdown with local rivals St Brigid's in 21 years was tempered for Scally by the fact that he suffered a punctured lung during yesterday's dramatic 1-19 to 0-11 win over Roscommon Gaels.
However, the positives still outweighed the minuses for the long-serving player whose father of the same name kept goal for Athlone and Westmeath for many years.
TweetNegatives from today: 1. Punctured lung 2. Stuck on a trolly overnight in hospital Positives from today: 1. Into county final 2. High on morphine 3. Free toast 4. Nurse had to ask if my abdomen was tight from injury or because I work out Up Clann 💙
