Sligo manager Niall Carew feels that GAA pundits should be doing more to promote Gaelic Games rather than running it down all the time.

Throughout the last few years, it seems to be a trend amongst some GAA pundits to find faults in a team's display rather than look at the positives.

And Carew wrote is his weekly column for the Sligo Champion that the pundits had a 'responsibility' to promote the GAA.

"In our GAA world, we all tend to be quite hard on each other and sometimes we only rally around in the time of crisis," wrote Carew.

"Take for example our experts on RTE who tend to focus on all the negatives and slate management, players and county boards. When you compare this to Sky soccer punditry, they make a League Two game exciting and the game might have even finished scoreless.

"In my opinion these pundits have a responsibility to promote Gaelic football and not slate it. The GAA should get on top of this and get these men to start promoting the game.

"All we generally hear from them is how poor the standard is and how good Dublin and Kerry are and that's it in a nutshell really."
