'Terribly boring match' Joe Brolly slams club championship spectacle at Croke Park

Controversial pundit Joe Brolly has accused Kilmacud Crokes of 'constant cynical fouling' during their All-Ireland club football semi-final win of Kerins O'Rahilly's.

Former All-Ireland football winner Brolly wasn't impressed by the Dublin side as he aired his frustration in a series of tweets.

Whilst Brolly was clearly aggrieved at what he saw during the Crokes victory he was equally annoyed by the other semi-final between Watty Graham's Glen and Moycullen.

He posted two videos on his Twitter account in which he claimed GAA authorities are allowing teams to 'destroy the spectacle' and called for a ban on sweepers.

'Nothing has been happening but now we’re looking at the other side of the pitch. Again, the crowd are chatting amongst themselves. There’s nothing happening'.

“The sweeper’s in obviously and it’s almost time to go for a nap here. Wonderful.”

Brolly's frustrations however will likely have gone unnoticed by both winning sides. Kilmacud Crokes will be favourites for the title when they face the winners of the second semi-final, Watty Graham's Glen.

They overcame stubborn opposition in the form of Moycullen to book their final place. The decider is in two weeks time on Sunday 22nd January in Croke Park.
