Tweeting Tierney lashes out at Sunday Game analyst

LAOIS forward MJ Tierney has blasted RTÉ’s The Sunday Game, claiming they blew his “disillusioned” Twitter message out of proportion following his county’s Leinster SFC quarter-final defeat to Dublin.

Tierney was named to start at corner forward last week but was replaced by Padraig McMahon on the day and he finished the game as an unused substitute.

His tweet was criticised on The Sunday Game by pundit Kevin McStay who said inter-county GAA players shouldn’t air their grievances on Twitter. However, Tierney has reacted angrily to the message being discussed on national television.
