Kildare manager Cian O’Neill branded one, possibly two national media houses “sly and devious” in the aftermath of this 15 point defeat to Dublin. “The question was,” O’Neill continued to explain what he said after Kildare beat Longford. That’s disappointing.”In fact, journalists from both The Irish Times and The Irish Independent referenced the question and the rest of O’Neill’s answer in their articles. “We are going to win that match’ - Cian O’Neill predicts Kildare will beat Dublin following Longford victory.”The Irish Times headline? “Cian O’Neill unflinching in his optimism about Kildare football.”Hardly damning stuff, as O’Neill conceded in his very next breath.
