Dara Ó Cinnéide: We should have started a fight in ‘05

Dara Ó Cinnéide regrets Kerry did not start a fight after Colm Cooper suffered an eye injury in the 2005 All-Ireland final defeat to Tyrone.

Cooper, then 21, was hurt by a Tyrone player in the first half of the decider, shortly after he had set up Ó Cinnéide’s goal. His marker Ryan McMenamin denied he was to blame.

Speaking on his Laochra Gael programme on TG4 this evening, Ó Cinnéide says Kerry were too passive in reacting to the incident.
