Kerry legend Kieran Donaghy and the outspoken Joe Brolly will forever be linked in GAA lore.
One of the most iconic All-Ireland moments in the sport's history saw Donaghy call out Brolly in his post-match interview, after the Kingdom had defeated Donegal in the 2014 final.
Feeling disrespected in the lead up to the game, he said: "I think Joe Brolly told us the production line was finished in Kerry - well, Joe Brolly, what do you think of that?"
Following Kerry's latest All-Ireland final defeat of Donegal, Donaghy posted a screenshot on his Instagram page of a cheeky WhatsApp message sent to Brolly.
In his column for the Irish Independent, Brolly explained how he felt Kerry got the better of Donegal.
He wrote: "They kept three players in the middle third, preventing the lightning counter attacks that Donegal depend on.
"They swamped the top of the defensive arc where Donegal create most of their scores. They fouled tactically. They defused the Donegal kick-out. They refused to solo into contact or crowd each other, moving the ball fast through multiple hands.
"For a team that depends on turnovers, Donegal couldn’t even get a tackle in. A system like Jimmy’s is awesome when it works, but when it doesn’t, there is no Plan B."
