New Kerry football captain Paul Murphy has said WhatsApp messages of “pure fiction”, such as those alleging mutiny in the Kerry camp following last November’s Munster semi-final defeat to Cork, are unfortunately part of modern life.

In the wake of the county’s championship exit, a WhatsApp message suggesting Kerry players were on the brink of a heave against manager Peter Keane was widely circulated.
