Kerry's Ger O'Keeffe
Kerry selector Ger O'Keeffe has claimed there was a mole in the Kingdom camp who was spreading stories about the panel to the media. Details of a clear the air meeting was published in a Sunday newspaper following the Munster final replay defeat to Cork, while the build-up to last Sunday's All-Ireland final was marred by reports of player unrest. "I just don't understand who is the cause of these stories coming out of the camp. It is absolutely disgraceful. There is no place for those type of people in the modern game and if we find out who those people are they will never a Kerry dressing room again," blasted O'Keeffe. Referring back to the All-Ireland final win over Mayo, O'Keeffe confirmed that Eoin Brosnan's introduction at half-time in place of Tomas O Se was a tactical move and was not forced by injury. "We made a good decision at half-time to bring on Eoin and drop Tommy (Griffin) back because Tomas was struggling a bit of Billy Joe (Padden). He was struggling under the high ball but Tomas has played well throughout the year and you have everyone playing fantastic on the day."
