Cork camp ignore Brolly, insists selector

CORK selector Ger O’Sullivan insists their camp is not concerned with the criticism by Sunday Game pundit Joe Brolly of their championship displays this summer and claims that Brolly’s dislike of Cork influences his views on the football they produce.

“As long as I remember Joe has been criticising Cork football and teams. But they’re paid for criticising people and paid for being controversial.

“I think Joe has just taken a dislike to Cork regardless of who we play.

“It was interesting when Kerry played Limerick in the Munster final and scraped over the line, it was how that Limerick played very well with Joe. But when we played Limerick and scraped over the line, it was how Cork played very poorly with Joe.

“But a lot of people now don’t take much notice of Joe. You’ll see that this Cork team will be there a lot longer than Joe.”
