His namesake was happy to take the point.
Definitely, in the first ten/fifteen minutes, if an opportunity comes like that, you should definitely go for it," claimed Delaney. "If Bubbles or John McGrath got it in that situation, they would have definitely have went for a goal. You've nothing to lose in the first few minutes of the game, I know it's all well and good to get a point for yourself to start off but if there's half a goal chance on, you want to put your team in a better situation," added the Kilkenny man.Show host Colm Parkinson was in agreement with Delaney. "I don't know if that killer instinct is there, I could not imagine Kilkenny not going for a goal in that instance. He flicked it over, but there was a goal gaping there, and in games like that, goal chances are few and far between. I know what he wanted to do - it's early in the game here, I'll get off the mark and get settled. You nearly have to rise above that and just go for that." Something for the Tribesmen to work on.
