Conor Cusack urges Paddy O’Rourke to call gardaí over ‘knife’ threat troll

Gaelic Players Association official Conor Cusack has advised Meath goalkeeper Paddy O’Rourke to consult the gardaí over a threat made on Twitter to ‘knife’ him.

O’Rourke was targeted with several vile tweets in the wake of his red card dismissal late in Meath’s Leinster football championship semi-final defeat to Westmeath.

One tweet directed at O’Rourke said, ‘Don’t think I won’t knife you brother’ while others attacked the Skryne man and his family.
