Kerry legend slams players for reaction to Michael Murphy punch

Not under his watch!

Most of the criticism was levelled at Murphy for his clear-as-day punch on Dylan Casey, as well as referee David Gough and linesman Conor Lane for failing to send him off.

However, in his column for the Irish Times, six-time All-Ireland winner Darragh Ó Sé has taken aim at the Kerry players.

He wrote: "If I was one of Casey’s teammates, I wouldn’t want to hear a word about David Gough or Conor Lane or disciplinary committees or anything like that. I’d be looking in the mirror.

"Murphy should have been dealt with there and then, on the pitch. Great fella, brilliant footballer, whatever. A box in the jaw is a box in the jaw and you can’t be a team who lets that slide. Murphy needed to be reminded of that and if it meant a Kerry player taking a card, so be it."

As a man who played in the great Kerry side of the 2000s - alongside his brothers Tómas and Marc - you would have to think they would have 'sorted Murphy out'.
