The All-Ireland winner with Donegal came out with a controversial statement last night…

Kerry progressed to the All-Ireland semi final yesterday thanks to a seven point win over a gutsy Galway side at Croke Park. James O’Donoghue was once again the stand-out forward for the Kingdom as he scored 1-05 and picked up the man of the match award.

As usual, the game was being analysed on The Sunday Game last night and O’Donoghue’s performance was highlighted and rightly so in our opinion, he was brilliant.

However, one of the RTE analyst, Martin McHugh, made a huge statement by saying O’Donoghue is a better player than Colm Cooper and he went on to call Gooch a “two-trick pony”. Watch it here…

Hang on Martin, is that the same Colm Cooper who has won four All-Irelands, eight All-Stars, seven Munster titles and been the best player in the country over the last decade or so? We think the reaction of Kevin McStay, Dermot Earley and Des Cahill sums up what everyone thought of those comments. Baffled.
