Carr to Dubs’ defence

Former Dublin manager Tommy Carr criticised the current lack of involvement of players from Meath’s glory era of the 1980s and ’90s and said other counties’ weakness should not be an excuse to split Dublin.

Bernard Flynn, a two-time All-Ireland winner with Meath, lamented the heavy loss to Cavan on yesterday’s edition of Sunday Sport on RTÉ Radio 1, but in responding, Carr pointed to non-activity in managerial roles of former players.

“Bernard made the point that somebody needs to do something about Meath football, but none of his peers of that time have done anything,” Carr said. “I know that they’re experts and analysts but they haven’t done anything for Meath football, it’s easy to stand by and criticise.”
