Cool Cooper unfazed by Brolly’s barbs

Colm Cooper has aimed a withering pop at Joe Brolly following the pundit’s recent comments about his leadership qualities and suitability to the centre-forward position.

Brolly last week reiterated his questioning of the seven-time All Star’s ability to guide a team through adversity. He also claimed Cooper doesn’t work hard enough in the role.

In an extensive interview with the Irish Examiner tomorrow, the 30-year-old laughs off Brolly’s criticism and joked he is thankful it’s Eamonn Fitzmaurice — and not Brolly — picking the Kerry team as he wouldn’t be selected to start.
