David Brady isn't hiding his feelings on the #ThingsLeeDid story as the All-Ireland replay approaches

If you've been on Twitter of late, you might well have seen the trending hashtag #ThingsLeeDid.

In short, some ex-Dublin players have been giving out about Mayo half-back Lee Keegan's approach in his head-to-head contests with Dublin forward Diarmiud Connolly - especially relevant as we're in between an All-Ireland final and replay between both sides.

"This is not just coincidence. It's happened two, three if not four times on different days that they're coming out and saying x, y and z about Lee Keegan."

I'd be very disappointed if there was."
