Joe Brolly doesn't seem to be too bothered by Armagh manager Paul Grimley's threat to boycott RTE.
Grimley responded to the Sunday Game pundit's scathing criticism of him by saying he will give 'serious consideration' to whether or not he will co-operate with the national broadcaster in the future.
The 1993 All-Ireland winner joked on Twitter: 'Apparently Paul Grimley is not going to talk to the National Broadcaster. Was it something [BBC's] Mark Sidebottom said?"
Former Armagh star Jarlath Burns, didn't see the funny side of Brolly's comments.
He tweeted: "Joe. I hope you regret what you said about a GAA volunteer. It was totally unacceptable."
Brolly replied: "being a good GAA man and a bad manager are not incompatible".
The Derry man later defended his comments: "I said he was a poor manager beforehand, illustrated the point with facts & stand over it. What's the big deal?"
