Ronan Judge, left back with Rock Rovers and journalist with The Clare People, finds himself in a unique position this week.

THREE questions you are asked when you are the journalist in the squad:

(1) Why isn’t my name in the paper?
(2) Why aren’t we in the paper? (A question frequently buttressed by the assertion that the only point of having a journalist in the squad is to get him to promote the team)
And
(3) Seriously, why isn’t my name in the paper?

The eagle-eyed among you will spot a theme developing here. Players like to see themselves in the paper. It’s a sort of recognition for all those thankless Sunday mornings. It also serves as a form of ammunition.
