Oulart the Ballagh forward Rory Jacob has responded to criticism of his team following Sunday's defeat to Mount Leinster Rangers in the Leinster club final.
In a series of tweets Jacob says they can handle fair criticism of their performance.
But he added that some of it had come from people who have never played the game and have used their position of power in the media to get digs in according to the 30-year-old.
The forward has also lashed back at comments suggesting they have no bottle saying "It takes bottle and character to get to 10 county finals in a row winning 8. It takes bottle and character to win 5 county championships in a row."
Here are some extracts from his Twitter posts:
