The former Waterford Hurler John Mullane was on The Irish Independent podcast this week and when asked about the response DJ Carey got at Croke Park on Sunday, he has some very interesting words to say ..

Mullane stated: “I was up there (in Croke Park) and the thing with DJ…he made a mistake and he’s after admitting he made a mistake.

“It’s going through the procedures of the court now. And Jesus, here’s me as someone who’s made plenty of mistakes in life. And who hasn’t made a mistake in life?

“But I’ll be straight with you, it left a bad taste in my mouth. It’s probably hard enough on the family and probably hard enough on DJ Carey that he wasn’t able to turn up there yesterday.

“But y’know the GAA…we’re not about booing people on All-Ireland final day. I don’t know, I can’t speak for others.

“There is probably a certain percentage that would see that it was okay to boo but it didn’t sit well with me.

“From a neutral’s point of view it didn’t sit well that people would start booing a person on All-Ireland final day – and a person that wasn’t even there on All-Ireland final day.”
