O'Hara admires Rooney restraint
July 17, 2007
Sligo midfielder Eamonn O'Hara believes that Darren Rooney had every right to lash out at Mark Vaughan following the Dubs forward gesture after he found the net during the first half of Sunday's Leinster SFC Final.
Vaughan appeared to stick his fingers up at Rooney following his 'major', generating plenty of reaction from various sources and O'Hara heaped praise on Rooney for not reacting to the gesture.
"When you are losing you don't need it. I admire Darren Rooney for not planting him one because he had a clenched fist. Everybody in Ireland would have said that he was dead right to do it. So credit to him for not.
"You don't need it when you are beaten and when you have 60,000 Dublin fans shouting at you at the same time.
"Dublin have a cockiness and an arrogance. People might be saying the taunts might come back to haunt them, but you have to have an arrogance," O'Hara said.
