Darragh O'Se

Darragh O’Se

DARRAGH Ó Sé has come in for harsh criticism today in an article written by a Dublin journalist.

Writing in The Herald, Eamon Carr accuses the six time All-Ireland medal winner of painting a target on the back of Dublin forward, Diarmuid Connolly and that the Kerry man “vomits up garbage as football commentary”.

Dublin followers are not happy with  Ó Sé, after he suggested that an effective way to stop Diarmuid Connolly, was by using provocation.

Writing in his Irish Times column on Wednesday, the former Kerry midfielder said “With a player as good as Connolly sometimes that’s all you have left. A bit of don’t-ask-don’t-tell stuff off the ball.”

The Dublin journalist, Eamon Carr, has responded to that remark with a scathing attack on Darragh Ó Sé’s ability as a pundit along with a more general lambasting of all things Kerry.

Carr, a former member of celt-rockers Horslips, writes; “This sort of appalling behaviour is only a knee in the coccyx or a dig in the kidneys away from the garbage Ó Sé vomits up as sporting commentary”.

“His dangerous guff yesterday suggests the lad is having difficulty adjusting to civvy street where his tantrums are no longer tolerated”.

“It’s possible that they’ll love it in Kerry where a commodity called “cuteness” is celebrated as a defining trait. But there’s a slim line between this type of smart-arse behaviour and a sly thing called “sleevenism’,” wrote Carr.

It would seem, by Carr’s closing lines, that he thinks Dublin are whiter than white when it comes to the dark arts of Gaelic Football.

“The Dubs would be best advised to ignore the sordid ramblings of a former great of the game and concentrate on doing what they do best – playing stylish, roboust football without malice aforethought.”

“And remember, to paraphrase John Lennon, Dublin’s a concept by which Kerry measure their pain”.

Hmm. We would argue Kerry measure their success by All-Ireland titles – 37 by last count…
