Eamonn Fitzmaurice admits he could have used 'more politically correct language' when highlighting the special attention Kieran Donaghy came in for against Dublin in the league final defeat.

The Kingdom boss reckons big men like Donaghy gets a raw deal from referees and he vented his frustration following the 11-point loss to Jim Gavin's side.

Afterwards, he said: "There was basically rape and pillage going on inside in front of the goals at the other side in the second half and we didn't get anything."

Two months on, the holders will commence their Munster SFC campaign against Clare tomorrow and, speaking to The Examiner, Fitzmaurice stated: "I don't have any regrets about what I said.

"The language, maybe, could have been more politically correct. There is always the thing that when you lose a game, you don't want to come across as a sour loser.

"But, there comes a point when you have to say something as well. I was sick of it. I felt something had to be said.

"My phraseology was more something that should be used in a dressing-room rather than a press conference."
