Dessie Farrell has joined Jack O’Connor in calling for the return of the maor foirne on a limited basis.

Describing the decision to do away with the running selector as a “sledgehammer to crack a nut”, the Dublin manager was discussing the subject at the county’s pre All-Ireland final press conference yesterday where he admitted Seán Bugler will be “touch and go” to make Sunday week’s clash with Kerry.
