Kildare manager Cian O’Neill lets rip at critics

Kildare 1-16 Longford 1-13

The Lilywhite manager also slammed claims he had lost the dressing room following their Leinster championship defeat to Carlow, pointing to the spirit shown in the qualifier defeats of Derry and Longford as evidence of a united camp.

“They’re a brilliant group of players,” said O’Neill. “They’re super to work with. Myself, Roli (Ronan Sweeney), and Enda (Murphy) and all the backroom, we love it and we love working with the players. I don’t know who writes that (claims of division) but they’ve never stepped inside our dressing room or they’ve never been at one of our training sessions.
