Former Dublin coach dismisses comparisons between Gavin and O’Neill

Former Dublin coach Mick Bohan has taken a veiled swipe at Kildare manager Cian O’Neill ahead of Sunday’s Leinster senior football final.

When asked to compare O’Neill and current Dublin boss Jim Gavin, Bohan insisted that he wouldn’t see the pair as “anywhere similar”, and described them as “completely contrasting characters”.

When asked for an example to back up his point, Bohan pointedly replied: “Jim wouldn’t do anything for show.”
