Tomas O Se won't be in Eamonn Fitzmaurice's good books this week, says two-time All-Ireland winning Cork full-back Colman Corrigan.

Former Footballer of the Year O Se labelled Cork as 'rudderless' in a damning assessment of Brian Cuthbert's tenure as manager and Corrigan says his comments will be worth a couple of points to the Rebel County in the Munster SFC final on July 5.

"If I was in the Kerry management, some of whom played with Tomás like Eamonn Fitzmaurice and selector Diarmuid Murphy, I wouldn't fancy the comments he made." Corrigan highlighted to The Examiner.

"Eamonn Fitzmaurice is such an astute man that he wouldn't want to see any blade of grass unturned.

"As much as a lot of the Cork public might be thinking the same thing, it's a completely different thing to put it in print in a national newspaper. It's wickedly bad timing and I can only see it working one way. If Cork have any bit of resolve, it can only work to their advantage.

"I know Tomás and the Ó Sés who are such passionate Kerry men. They would do anything in their power to beat Cork in a Munster final and that's fair enough and we would be hoping Cork are the same. But this is really fuelling the fire.

"The Kerry management would be thinking they've enough hassle trying to beat Cork without this. It will only add a couple of points to Cork's scoreline in Killarney."
