Armagh manager Paul Grimley says RTE pundit Joe Brolly took his criticism too far on Sunday.

Former Derry attacker Brolly launched a scathing attack on Grimley in his capacity as an analyst for The Sunday Game and the Armagh man admits that he will give "serious consideration" to boycotting the national broadcaster as a result:

"Once some of these guys get on their soapboxes, they do not know where the line is," the Orchard County boss states in The Irish News. "In another couple of weeks, it will be somebody else.

"People have said 'say nothing, let it go' but that would mean Brolly is getting a free run here.

"I have no problem whatsoever with the criticism he laid at me. I was responsible for us losing the match - I've no issue with that.

"But before a ball was kicked, he was already on a wee rant. He was clearly excited about having a go at me. The thing that I was most annoyed at was he brought my brothers into it.

"I took issue with that because my brothers are a long time retired and they served Armagh, Ulster and Ireland with pride and distinction.

"One thing my brothers didn't do was go around Croke Park or any other park blowing kisses to the crowd.

"I did all the interviews with the media after Sunday's match. Then I come home, put on the tape and it's like a public stoning where there is no form of comeback.

"You've got to say there is something not right about that. I didn't understand why it was so personal." Tweet
