Tomás O'Sé fires back at Joe Brolly after Derry legend criticised Kerry during All Ireland final

Tomás O Sé fired back at Joe Brolly after the Derry legend labelled Kerry's first half performance in the All Ireland final 'a mess'.

Brolly took to Twitter to slate The Kingdom's first half performance, saying the team had 'no shape' that Sean O'Shea was 'anonymous' and that the Kerry performance was full of 'anxiety'

"Kerry a mess. No shape. No ideas. A ball of anxiety. Galway composed, fluent and much the better team so far. Sean O’Shea anonymous," began Brolly's Tweet.

"Paudie Clifford falling over himself & going nowhere. Like the little red hen, David Clifford is going to have to do this all by himself."

Kerry picked it up big time in the second half and ended up winning the game by four points. David Clifford was excellent throughout and drove Kerry on to victory, and at the full time whistle, Brolly wasted little time in patting himself on the back for his earlier comment.

Quote Tweeting his earlier post, Brolly simply wrote "And so he did."

Naturally, many Kerry fans were unhappy at Brolly's characterisation of Kerry as being a one-man team. None were more annoyed than Tomás O'Sé who posted the following message in response to Brolly's earlier Tweets.

"Kerry All Ireland Champions," wrote O'Sé.

While Clifford was undoubtedly the best performer on the day for Kerry, to say that he was the only player to contribute was harsh from Brolly. Killian Spillane, Jack Barry and Paudie Clifford all had big second half performances and played their part in ending Kerry's All Ireland famine.
