SHAME ON YOU REBELS

OWEN MULLIGAN has blasted Cork’s effort against Tyrone.

The Rebels were bombed out of the Championship last Saturday as Tyrone had 16 points to spare in a round four qualifier.

Three-time All-ireland winner Mulligan (inset) was disgusted by their performance and told Paddy Power News: “When I was playing them, they had the likes of Canty, O’leary and Shields, they were match winners - proud Cork men, proud to put on the jersey. It seems to me that the hurling has taken over. All the focus is on the small ball.

“They got absolutely smashed by Kerry by 17 points. After a result like that you’d expect some response. But they go out and lose by 16 to Tyrone. They really should be embarrassed.”
