"A lot of our guys would have been cranky," said Galvin. "Gooch would have been cranky and Declan [O'Sullivan] would have been cranky, I would have been cranky and Tomas [Ó Sé] would have been cranky. We weren't really good at it."Galvin's own travails with referees are well documented - his three-month ban for slapping the notebook out of Paddy Russell's hand in 2008 being the most infamous moment.

"I wouldn't know the names and he would have the names off and would genuinely know them. Darragh would be very sociable and personable, where as I wouldn't have been really," said Galvin, who credited Darragh's youngest brother Marc with the gift of the gab also. "You needed Darragh, you needed Marc," he added. "It was a very cranky team. Donaghy was a good one." While Kieran Donaghy may look like a hothead, a documentary released following the 2015 All-Ireland final showed the big full-forward to be quite calm when speaking to referee David Coldrick following an altercation with Philly McMahon.
