Diarmuid O'Sullivan has criticised Cork's 'fickle' supporters in the wake of yesterday's All-Ireland SHC semi-final loss to Limerick.

'The Rock' revealed to Paddy Power News how he was confronted by disgruntled fans after the final whistle.

"Unfortunately, that's the way Cork supporters are and I've said it before, they're very fickle," he said.

"I was walking out of the stadium after, there was two Cork lads there and they were having a right go. I actually had murder with them and I looked the two of them in the eye and told them they were an absolute disgrace. There's no place for it, but that's the world we live in. You can't get away from it."

The former full back, who served as a selector in 2016 and '17, was also critical of some of the decisions made by Cork manager John Meyler.

"There was a period in the second half when Cork were up by four to six points and they were comfortable, then within a nine-minute window the management made three substitutions," he added.

"They brought on Mark Ellis, Robbie O'Flynn and Tim O'Mahony. It upset the balance and rhythm of the Cork team. Did any of the three of them offer anything to the game after? It was three changes too quickly. It just killed the momentum.

"That period hurt Cork and they never recovered from it."
