O’Rourke defends RTÉ

RTÉ analyst Colm O’Rourke yesterday defended the role of The Sunday Game in the controversial suspension of Kerry’s Paul Galvin.

Galvin received an eight weeks ban following a clash with Cork’s Eoin Cadogan in the Munster SFC semi-final replay at Pairc Ui Chaoimh.

Kerry GAA chiefs, and a number of former players, were angered at the manner in which the issue was highlighted on The Sunday Game, claiming it influenced disciplinary bosses.
