"You can talk about various points in his play, but the biggest point is that he had a fantastic season. He marked big players in big games and did very very well against them. He was in line for Player of the Year.
“The incidents he was involved in, that’s not for me to decide. That’s what the committees in Dublin are there to sort out. My job is playing and the only thing I would say is he had a very good season," said Cooper.“I’ve seen it with different players that they come under the microscope an awful lot.

Cooper admits it was a strange situation,
"It was just surprising from the point of view that no one knew about it.
“Should the players be told before the game? I think they should. It was there, not to catch out players I don’t think, but it was there to show the public what really happens.
“But I think it would have been nice if they had let both squads know at least.”
