Tipp chief defends Corbett as fans turn nasty on Twitter

Tipperary chairman Sean Nugent has hit out at Lar Corbett’s online detractors.

The Thurles Sarsfields forward was the subject of heavy criticism both on his Twitter and Facebook accounts following Sunday’s emphatic All-Ireland semi-final defeat to Kilkenny.

Nugent, who also said the board won’t be hasty about making a decision on Declan Ryan’s future as manager, defended Corbett’s record as a player.
