RTE GAA pundit slagged over infamous David Clifford tweet as he lavishes praise on ‘greatest-ever' ace
PAUL Flynn paid David Clifford the ultimate compliment on The Sunday Game - but still got reminded of his past red-hot take. The Dublin great infamously tweeted Advertisement 4 He lead the way this season with an overall haul of 8-62 over the whole Championship 4 Flynn stated there isn't much of a debate anymore as to whether he's the best-ever Credit: @TheSundayGame 4 Tomás Ó Sé later smirked while describing Clifford as having 'smoke' the opposition this year Credit: @TheSundayGame 4 It's worth noting the time of day when that tweet was published Credit: @Flino23 He's repeatedly admitted "Mea Culpa" over the years since his late-night post that may have been fuelled by his natural bias towards Dublin GAA since Kerry lost out to the Dubs that day. The 39-year-old actually deleted his Twitter account on the back of the abuse he shipped over the social media storm. But in this instance, he didn't seem to mind the more light-hearted in-person jibes that came his way from his fellow RTE pundits. The Fingallians clubman was initially asked about where Clifford ranks among Gaelic football's all-time greats. Advertisement Read More On GAA He pointed out that it's Flynn outlined: "I think that's across the board now. To lead his team his like he did this season to an All-Ireland was just a capstone on the quality he has been showing. "I think the new rules have given him life this season.

Kerry icon Tomás Ó Sé particularly revelled in the moment, asking Flynn to remind everyone what he had tweet at that time. Flynn then continued: "He's judged by different standards too.

The best moment, however, was a classic case of a big brother slagging his younger sibling. Advertisement Asked if they'd always had an innate on-pitch chemistry, Paudie shot back: "The chemistry wasn't great now, we fought every day for about two years straight! "Mom was just sick of of dealing with David crying every two minutes. They actually used to call him 'Watery eyes' because he used to cry so much! So that was the chemistry now."
