"It is a great night of celebration and you have probably witnessed a performance by a fella who is going to have the shortest intercounty career of all time."Mulhall was gone off the panel by the start of the 2012 Championship. It is a little reminiscent of Giovanni Trapattoni taking a dislike to Andy Reid because of a late night singsong in the Republic of Ireland team hotel in Germany. However, speaking on the GAA Hour Hurling Show, Mulhall dismissed the idea his performance on the back of an artic lorry in a carpark was responsible.
"I came back in January for training and got into it," said Mulhall, who is now hurling with Kildare in Division 2A. "That league I was getting 10 minutes at the end of matches.

"Then people like [Cillian] Buckley started coming, but I started the league semi final and got a point. I was delighted. Then in the league final, Buckley started wing-forward and I thought 'Ah, jesus'. I really thought I would be in."Mulhall came on int he league final but that was his last appearance for the Kilkenny senior hurlers, however he refuses to place any significance on his lewd lyrics. "I just wasn't hurling well enough, that was it," he said. Listen to the whole interview below or, alternatively, subscribe on iTunes.
