RTÉ pundits Joe Brolly and Colm O'Rourke lashed out at Kerry centre-back Aidan O'Mahony on Sunday for the defender's behavioural conduct throughout his side's All-Ireland semi-final draw with Cork. The Kingdom defender fell to the ground dramatically after receiving a light slap across the face from Donnacha O'Connor in the second-half of Sunday's thrilling clash, which led to the Cork attacker's sending-off. The contact seemed to be minimal and O'Mahony's reaction afterwards enraged both of the Sunday Game pundits. "It's a disgrace," fumed former Derry legend Brolly. "The authorities ought to look at this. That's the third or fourth time this year where a player has laid down and held his face. "He got a tiny flick across the face. How embarrassing is that? "I'm not excusing that (the slap) but what I'm saying is, how disgraceful is that behaviour? It shows a lack of manliness." Former All-Ireland winner O'Rourke was also incensed by O'Mahony's antics, citing his behaviour as very untypical of a Kerry footballer. "The conduct of Aidan O'Mahony was embarrassing. "He seems to think that because he's a big strong player that he has the right to do whatever he likes. And he's a brilliant player, he doesn't need to do that sort of thing. "It's not the Kerry way. You rarely see that macho in-your-face stuff from any Kerry player. "They tend to go on about their business fairly quietly." Tweet
