Spitting in the Gaa

What is happening in players and suporters heads these days? Over the last week we have Karl Lacey being spat at by a Tyrone supporter.

Galvin can be a tool and he has been the architect of much of his own misfortunes.

But here I don't think he can be questioned. He was spat at. He didn't respond violently and neither did he go crying to the referee. He made no comment after the game and has only responded as this has become national news. His comment confirmed that he was spat on, went on to express dismay at the bitterness that was shown on both sides and then went on to laud Tyrone football and congratulate the winners.

Contrast that with Mulligan. He stands 100% behind his team mate and would like to 'enlighten' facebook and twitter users that other stuff went on as well. He tritely says he has big respect for Kerry football but 'they' are trying to downgrade a clubmate and club and all because of 'sour grapes'.

That's pathetic.
