The issue is not about criticising Conor Mortimer, it is the manner in which it is done, as I said earlier if he wasn't a decent player in the first place people wont have high expectations of him
I think Mayo GAA secretary Sean Feeney summed it up best when he said "Unless you're controversial, they don't want you on The Sunday Game. Sometimes you just wonder what depths people will descend to in order to become controversial and stir it up"
when Brolly came on the scene first as a analysed he brought a refreshing change with his flair for language etc. However, as others has aludded to any reasoned analysis he may once have had has now given way to cheap comments in attempts to be funnny or stir up controversy or both.

how can anyone agree brolly was right.
while it is obvious Brolly is only trying to me controversial he makes an ass of himself and shows himself up to be ill informed and a poor analysist.
He contends that McGolderick is the best player on the field because he kept Conor Mortimer is his pocket, yet if Mortimer is "no good anyway" then it is hardly a man of the match feat to keep him quiet.
I was at the match and I didn't see anyone laughing at Muldoon's goal, argue the skill of the scorer versus goalkeeping/defensive mistakes all you like but a comment like brolly's is just nasty.

Mortimer comes in for a good deal of criticism some justified, some not so for the very reason that he is a good player(though not top notch IMHO) but can be fustrating at times but if your going to judge him don't do it on a game in wet/greasy conditions that clearly dont suit the type of player he is
