Brolly Sings The Banks

Despite his relentless anti-Cork rhetoric RTE (a television station based in Dublin) pundit Joe Brolly was forced to sing The Banks of My Own Lovely Lee after yesterday's victory over Dublin at Croke Park.

Brolly has repeatedly berated the Rebels, regularly describing them as flakey, raw and more recently as "unsophisticated".

It is unknown where Joe Brolly comes from or what his background in the GAA is but the northern accented precipitation deflector is clearly auditioning for 'The View' - a show presented by John Kelly on the Dublin television station that explores the meaning of large words that may or may not be in the English Dictionary.

Later on Sunday evening as Rebels celebrated Brolly looked despondent on the Sunday Game, sitting low in his chair with legs outstretched desperately searching for ways not to portray Cork in a positive light. At one stage during his commentary it sounded like he thought Dublin had won.

Regularly through out the show, Mr. Umbrella touched fellow pundit and Kerryman Dara Ó Cinnéide, clearly indicating his affection for the Kingdom, as Cork edge closer to a Brolly's Doomsday Scenario and bring Sam Maguire back to his original home in Dunmanway.

Brolly sensitively touches Ó Cinnéide while Davis keeps his eyes to himself.

Tony Davis put in a fine pundit performance using words as long as "experience" and has clearly put last year's post Donegal thrashing brain-freeze-gate incident behind him.

The humiliation of having to sing The Banks after such vehement anti-Cork bile through out a long media career shows even Joseph is coming around to the idea that the Rebels may be left holding Sam Maguire on the third Sunday in September.
