Making the new advantage rule count
Maybe it’s the goalkeeper still in him, his understanding that the slap on the back is actually less than six inches from a kick in the backside, but he has long adopted a measured approach.
If something has to be said it will be done with subtlety. On Sunday, he chose not to give an interview to RTÉ after Dublin’s defeat to Cork. Without making a scene, he explained as much to them afterwards having turned down two requests (might it have had anything to do with RTÉ’s view of the Conal Keaney-Cian Lynch incident in the quarter-final?).
