‘You would almost need a thesaurus to work out negative words to describe it’

Seán Cavanagh has described Tyrone’s capitulation in Killarney as a disgrace and an embarrassment.

The Red Hand skipper apologised to fans who made the long journey to Kerry anticipating an extension to their team’s unbeaten run, but could only watch in disbelief as the Red Hands were crushed by their fierce rivals.

“It was a disgrace for anyone standing out there in the second half as a Tyrone footballer,” he said. “We know we didn’t even decide to turn up, or decide to even try and play, I don’t know what happened.”
