Cork selector Ger O'Sullivan has laughed off the criticism the team has received for their performances so far this year from RTE GAA pundit Joe Brolly.

Brolly has criticised the side on a number of occasions not only this year but last year as well, but O'Sullivan believes it is just sour grapes on the former All-Ireland winner's behalf.

"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," said O'Sullivan.

"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." Tweet
