Horan: Board should have hit back at O’Neill criticism

Former Mayo manager James Horan believes his county board should have hit back at GAA president Liam O’Neill for hiscomments in the build-up to the All-Ireland semi-final replay against Kerry in Limerick.

Following criticism of the decision to move the game out of Croke Park, O’Neill said: “I’m sure that Mayo are long enough in the game at this level to know that it’s in their best interests to get on with it and play the game and qualify for the final and, hopefully, for them, end their barren spell.”

Horan was furious the comments weren’t challenged.
