THE SUNDAY GAME pundit and ex-Derry footballer Joe Brolly is refusing to back down in an argument relating to the ability of the Cork team.
Prior to their win over Down at the weekend, Brolly had labelled Cork a ‘dumb’ side, deriding the manner in which they play the sport and comparing them to a Rugby League team.
Following their latest encounter, Brolly did have some praise for Cork, but still claims they struggle in certain areas of the pitch and suggested that the side’s poor record against Kerry highlights their shortcomings.
He said:
“They are a great side, there is no doubt about that, but the reality is they have failed against Kerry and the issue is, ‘how do they cure that problem?’.”
Tony Davis, who was alongside Brolly on the panel, described his article for GaelicLife.com as “absolute rubbish” and argued that Brolly had unjustifiably portrayed the Cork team as “comical figures”.

Great goal.. Watching Jeff on soccer Saturday was brilliant also when it looked like hartlepool were safe..
Saw O’Brien playing for derby when he was 18-19. The derby fans were way more excited about him at the time than Hendrick, Hughes etc that had also broken into the team. I remember our taxi man to the match in particular raving about him……
Real pity the injuries stopped that momentum, but great he’s still making a career out of it and plenty of time to kick on
Went over too easy during the celebration. Could of been a yellow for a dive.
What a goal great to see how much it means to the players too
Have to feel sorry for jeff
Read about him.in an article in Irish Times when he broke into Derby team ,watched him and was very impressed .
Hes been injury prone ever since ,hopefully this will be a turning point and he has a prosperous career after all.
