McGeeney: I’m blamed for everything

KILDARE manager Kieran McGeeney has laughed off suggestions that Pádraig Ashe resigned as county chairman largely because the pair could not work together, joking that history books are currently being rewritten to blame him for The Famine.

The Mullaghbawn man also revealed he rang John Divilly todiscuss the NUI Maynooth boss’s hard-hitting criticism of his training methods. The former Galway and Kildare player claimed any Lilywhite players on his squad for the Sigerson Cup were in danger of burnout due to what he felt was the McGeeney’s overzealousness.

“For everybody else it’s not that funny but for me it is,” said McGeeney.
