It's got to pretty corrosive on Paddy's self belief if a "legend" has a personal vendetta against him making it as a footballer. If I was 20 and some industry legend went public telling everyone how shit I was it would probably have smashed me. He's really just a flippant prattler with no regard for anyone else but Dermot. He's known for doing absolutely no research for his commentary or media roles and for forming strong opinions which he stubbornly backs. It's a pathetic stance on kids career as such and makes me see him as an enormous campaigner.
