'Páidi Ó Sé was right, Kerry fans are absolute animals' - Sean Cavanagh in scathing attack on Kingdom faithfulHarry Clarke July 11 2019 9:10 AM  Former Tyrone star Sean Cavanagh has launched a scathing attack on Kerry fans, saying that they can be 'absolute animals' during certain games. It was January, 2003, when then Kerry manager Paidi O Se caused huge controversy when he referred to Kerry fans as "f****** animals". He later apologised, stating that he meant they always demanded the most from his side. Writing in today's Irish Daily Star, Cavanagh reflected on a match in 2012 when he was injured so sat in the stands at Fitzgerald Stadium at a time when the Kerry/Tyrone rivalry was still instense. "Then you sit in the stand, and you realise Páidi Ó Sé was right. They are absolute animals when the game is on." Cavanagh added that when they don't perceive the opposition as a threat and can be 'patronising' when they are winning. "It was strange that day (In 2012). Their fans were riled on the terraces. They beat us well. They beat us out the gate, and you thought, 'Jesus, these guys are absolute dogs'. "And then I remember as we were leaving the changing room, walking out onto the team bus there were hundreds of Kerry supporters, all clapping us. Either side of us, as we were walking through. "They were back slapping us, 'ah youse are great lads', and all this. To me, it seemed a wee bit patronising." All Star cast lined up as The Throw In Podcast goes live in Kilkenny Click here to WIN tickets Mayo take on Kerry in the Super 8s this Saturday night in Fitzgerald Stadium at a time when their own rivalry is growing. "They (Mayo) will relish going down to Fitzgerald Stadium, as opposed to bowing down to any aristocrat, Kerry football nonsense," continued Cavanagh. Online Editors

The Super 8 concept had a 2 year trial period as i understand it. The optics of 2 home games for Dublin are not good, but cannot he changed until after this year. I would prefer if Dublin played their home game in Parnell. Capacity 9k approx. So be it. And I'd prefer for Kerry to play their neutral games in Tralee  |

What happened to the bollixology we all had to listen to a few years back? Stuff like "sure Croke Park is our 2nd home"🤔 I see Cavanagh has had a right cut off Kerry today. Mentioned "arrogant football nonsense" and 'patronising attitude" to losing teams🤔😯 |

He has said nothing of note here really and would he have preferred if lads had thrown cans at him while he and the tyrone boys were leaving? |

You seem to be struggling with it though, bitterness seeping through most of your posts. Its been brilliant supporting this team during this decade. Made even better when compared against all the heartache that went before. 2009 against your lads was a tough day, the financial doping hadn't really kicked in by then! These lads are a special bunch, it won't be like this forever. Oh who are these Dublin fans who are embarrassed? Because 99% of the fans I know are sick to the eye teeth of this teams achievements being besmirched by those with an agenda. But its ok, we are still enjoying watching great players play |

Get Dublin to spend their money on building a stadium in, for example, Spawell and stop them playing all their home games at what is meant to be a neutral stadium. There'll be no need for facetious stadium plans on a disputed island then. |

But that is a ridiculous suggestion. We could also play all our home NFL games in Croker just to get a feel for it and to help the young players to acclimatise. |

The playing of league games in croke park is another ridiculous advantage dublin have. It means that all young Dublin players get multiple opportunities to experience croke park that other counties don't get.

And in that case they weren't building a stadium from scratch. Factor in costs associated with building in Dublin and you'll arrive at an astronomical number pretty quickly. And meanwhile Croke Park sits idle save for the biggest days, and Spice Girls concerts.... |

So here's a couple of questions that maybe you can help me with. Can you explain how gaa funding works at a fundamental level? In relation to Dublin, what exactly are they getting that the others arent? Is funding based on per head of population? Is it based on playing numbers? Is it based on a subset of playing numbers, for example, confined to children of 12 and under? Does funding cover cost overruns on capital projects? Does it include baling out of county boards when finances have been blatantly mismanaged? I'm a mere novice when it comes to such questions, would really appreciate if you could enlighten us all ? |

It's not the job of central funds to cover for Dublin's lack of forward planning with regard to a stadium, they've already done that with regard to funding their training programmes |

Hardly an equitable system in fairness It was fair until Dublin started winning, No, eternal home advantage wasn't fair in the past either. Also, with 28 senior titles, Dublin haven't just started winning. |
