Sean Cavanagh has delivered a damning verdict on Tyrone’s performance against Dublin.

The Red Hands were on the receiving end of a 21-point hammering from the All-Ireland champions in Croke Park, prompting three-time All-Ireland SFC winner Cavanagh to question their mindset for the game.

“I think Brian (Dooher) used the word ’embarrassing’ – it’s unacceptable for Tyrone to lose by 21 points to anyone, and I think Brian will understand that more than anyone,” he said on Allianz League Sunday.

“We’re a proud county, it just doesn’t sit well, and I know we can cling to some excuses like injuries, but probably the worst part of today was that at times, the team looked disinterested, and that’s being honest with you.

“It almost looked like a team that because there wasn’t a big spectacle there today, 10-15,000 people, it just looked like a Tyrone team that wanted come down to fulfil the fixture, and come back up the road, and for the supporters that travelled down, the proud county that we are, there can be no excuses for that.”
