"Every day when I wake up the hurl is right in the corner of the room. It’s the first thing I see when I wake up and it’s the last thing I see when I go to sleep."That's what Lee Chin told SportsJOE in the height of the summer. That's the best insight you could give to show his mentality and his make-up. He's a Gael who just so happened to have come in handy on Monday. https://twitter.com/LeeChin8/status/793578865541148672 But now Chin is being sneered at, criticised and questioned for not going to Drogheda on Friday to hang on to the 2-0 advantage and help to keep Wexford Youths in the Airtricity Premier Division. This is not his gig. It's not his love. It's an honour to be asked along to the All-Star awards and, if anything, he has been nothing but honest with the club. The only thing Lee Chin is guilty of is scoring a goal in the first leg because now, suddenly, people care and they don't want to see him leave. Now, suddenly, he's letting fans down.
"As I've said to the boys, it was nice to get in and get to know other lads in a different sport," Chin told the Independent. "They are a great bunch of lads. It was nice to be a part of it, to join and fight for them. I wouldn't look at myself as a huge value to the club. "In my opinion, if I'm not there on Friday night there are three or four other lads who could step in off the bench and do a better job."Lee Chin's away back to live his own life - a hurling life. He doesn't owe anybody else anything more - and certainly not for a commitment that he's been involved with for a grand total of seven games.
