Cian O’Neill lambasted those in the media who he claimed misinterpreted his pre-match comments about Dublin. Shortly after beating Longford in last Sunday’s provincial quarter-final replay, O’Neill was asked if Kildare would settle for a good performance in defeat yesterday. We’re going up to beat Dublin, we’re not going with any inferiority complex.’“But the question wasn’t referenced and obviously the rest of my answer wasn’t referenced. Ye will have less people talking to ye - ‘ye’ obviously being a generic point there before I get rattled on that one as well — if that keeps on happening.”O’Neill felt the 15-point margin at full-time was unfair on Kildare. I’m obviously biased but I don’t believe 15 points reflected the match, or maybe it did.
