County players blast Tommy Carr’s commentary

Tommy Carr’s RTÉ co-commentary on yesterday’s All-Ireland semi-final has come in for scathing criticism from a number of inter-county footballers, including Dublin’s Jack McCaffrey.

The 2015 footballer of the year, currently taking a year out from the inter-county game, lambasted the former Cavan, Dublin, Roscommon and Westmeath manager’s analysis of the match. “The fact that Tommy Carr is making money off commentary gives me some hope of one day being an astronaut,” McCaffrey tweeted.

Clare goalkeeper Joe Hayes posted on the social network: “My two-year-old daughter would do a better job commentating on GAA matches than Tommy Carr. He is a joke and he actually hasn’t a clue for a man that captained and managed Dublin.”
