Doyle plays down suggestions he’s being targeted

JOHN DOYLE has played down suggestions he is being targeted by opposing teams desperate to stymie the influence of Kildare’s star player.

Kieran McGeeney complained after last week’s defeat of Derry that Doyle was singled out for rough treatment in championship fixtures against Laois, Meath and the Ulster side. But Doyle refused to get involved in the issue.

“You don’t like to get into too much detail, giving out. That’s part of it,” he said.
