"It was all about revealing their pitiful ego" – Gerf Lufnene broadcasts Sunday's doll game

Former Claire boss Ger Lofnein labeled Donal Og Cusack and Derek McGrath as "dolls" who used The Sunday Game to promote their own "pitiful ego".

The duo hit the headlines earlier this week when they passionately supported the use of the throw-in cleaning system, one of which was deployed so often by McGrath during the reign of Waterford.

Former Cork guard Donal Og said criticism of the tactical changes in the roll came down to "the last remnants of the British Empire". And speaking on the RTE GAA podcast, he defended the analysis of Sunday's game of last weekend's semifinals.

"If you watch the show on Sunday night, we were on the air for over 100 minutes and five minutes were probably absorbed by those controversial pieces, if they were to be called, there were 25 minutes of each game, which is a lot of my experience, there were interviews and analyzes, "he said.

"Brendan (Cummins) things were great, Derek (McGrath) was astute as always, and the track to change structures around halftime, I thought it was a great catch. that we weren't the ones we should be.

"Much of the focus, from what I hear, has been around British commentary."

One person who was not happy was Lofnan, and he launched a devastating attack in his column in today's Irish Daily Star.

"That's true of what Joe Brawley says. Stupid, confident people take over the world," Lofnan wrote.

"The whole thing was made up, it didn't happen by accident. They just put De Cahill down and nobody called to stop."

Loughnane says the panel should have focused on the relevant talking points and how smart Davy Fitzgerald has allowed players like Liam Ryan to bomb forward and create problems for Tipperary's defense.

"So it's justified that they both expose their pitiful ego," Lofnan continued.

"McGrath even cried about what someone had said about him at The Sunday Game three years ago, and Cusack brought up comic British rule in Ireland.

"At this point, the producer had to push the two out the front door and leave the rest of the program to the excellent Brendan Cummins.

"The magical throwing weekend was nearly ruined by two megalomaniac warriors who acted as Stiler and Waldorf on The Muppet Show."
