Mimic Joe Brolly explains bad Tipperary impression

Denying again he ever laughed at the Tipperary footballers, Joe Brolly insisted what was perceived as disrespect for the Premier players was actually amusement at his own impersonation - of colleague Colm O’Rourke.

Brolly and O’Rourke had copped flak following RTÉ’s Munster final coverage, when they were shown laughing at half-time in the game, with Kerry winning comfortably.

In the lead-up to yesterday’s game, Tipperary’s Alan Moloney said the footage had “boiled my blood” and accused the RTE pair of showing “total disrespect towards the players and football people in Tipperary”.
