And I thought this was a gas discussion board.  How do I get out of the fashion critique thread and back to reality.

I think I would rather read some Roscommon waffle than this stuff. 

Can I get ye another cosmopolitan lads (straws included)

I always loved the red shorts with the white tops but I just think we look a bit weak or pale in the all white.
Who makes this decisions?
Of course there are so many other factors

I don't know how true it is but I heard somewhere that they paid someone to tell them that an all white strip was better for some reason stupid like cause it was all white that opponents found it more difficult to tackle them?? lol

You being serious?!

I'm deadly serious - Maybe someone with some inside information can tel us about when and why Tyrone started wearing a non traditional all white strip?

you may well be deadly serious but you're wrong!

Antrim deserves better - and to be better represented on their county board. For what its worth, I think that the local residents were treated poorly over the whole thing - there is such a lack of humility shown from the Ulster Council execs, and it is their arrogance which has caused this mess...riding over the top of experts in health and safety and the local community.

Antrim football needs better investment at underage and schools level as much as it needs casement...Clones, pair Esler, Athletic Grounds, Brefini, Brewster - are all class stadia....and all underused....even celtic park on a bright day...healy is another story all together....
A modest casement park and the rotation of the ulsterfinal between Clones and it wouldn't be the worst thing in the world.

When you have people like feeny running around suffering from small man syndrome, bullying and telling lies, its hardly surprising that the locals and other stakeholders will rare up

holy f**k...Armagh

Despite everything and when our sensitivities are put to one side, you have to say that he gives us something that no-one else can. When on form, he is entertaining, insightful, interesting, articulate, captivating and funny. He's different gravy, on a completely different level intellectually to Spillane or O'Rourke.

Have you been smoking crack?
If the definition of entertaining is ridiculing people on a weekly basis without factual support nor substance, then he is the new Bob monkhouse.
being articulate should be a ticket to entry for a commentator
Insightful - occasionally, but more often than not he spends his time ridiculing people...quoting his daughter from an u14 team is hardly bleeding edge
Captivating...how?
funny...occasionally, no question...and when he is on a good day, he certainly puts the other 2 in the shade..but he's not qualified on a part-time basis.
he his different gravy for sure...I like my gravy thick

Anyone expecting Jim to reply? Joe has some ego on him.

I can guarantee you here & now there will be no reply from Jim.

Whatever about his ego, he has more sense, not to mention class, than to get drawn into a slagging match with Motormouth the schoolyard bully.

I have spoken with Joe Brolly about the comments he made in relation to RTE Sport's GAA Correspondent and commentator Marty Morrissey on last weekend's Sunday Game Live broadcast. Joe is acutely aware that his ill-conceived attempt at humour was both inappropriate and extremely hurtful and had no place in any broadcast. Further, Joe is fully cognisant of the fact that similar comments in any future broadcast cannot and will not be tolerated.

Joe Brolly has spoken at length with and offered a heartfelt apology to Marty Morrissey which was graciously accepted.

All parties now consider this matter closed.

So RTE release a statement to cover their asses, meanwhile Joe laughs behind his hand. Bet Brolly wont be release a statement

joe is great at ridiculing in public and apologising in private. You may forget about him as a man.

His ego knows no bounds. The public apology was not even an apology it was an attempt to explain what the context of his statement was, he didn't express any regret or retract the statement.

Why apologise in private after publically ridiculing someone. What sort of man does that??

No man at all. I always thought it the ultimate irony his questioning of Big Sean's 'manfulness', this from a boy who wore the biggest pair of invisible wing mirrors ever when he was on a football pitch

Joe Brolly was and is many things, but the one thing he wasn't was a coward on the field. You mustn't have been watching too closely during the 90's when there was a lot more off the ball action taking place than there is in the current game.

I was watching closely enough, and there's nothing wrong with my or many other Tyrone people's memories

110% not a coward on the pitch, far from it. Keep it up Tyrone people, a few of ye's talking poop in here wont rewrite history

As a tyrone fan, i wouldn't say that he was a coward on the pitch - better player than i'll ever be...and a medal to prove it too.

but he is a disingenuous treacherous lying hateful p***k - of that there is no doubt

I've consolidated the general jist of Dermy's posts so he can just copy and paste in as replies (save him a bit of time) :

I think its / you're / he / she is (delete were appropriate) a p***k c**k f**k c**k f**k p***k c**k f**k

Good work Jo...except the gist of my post was that he is treacherous, disingenuous and a liar...the p***k bit was there to help you relate to the smaller words

What lies has he told?

He is a media clown - saying one thing to one man and another to the next - and that is from personal experience of him in belfast. he has a way with words for sure, but has an unfortunately high self opinion, even when you get up close to him, which I have been on many occasions. His benevolence within the GAA is legendary, and he gives to his old club, and to st brigids flat out - mostly under the radar, but he has made a living this last few years talking down people on TV when they cannot retaliate - he slags off to the hundreds of thousands and apologises behind closed doors....there are many examples of him telling lies...i couldn't care less about the Tyrone derry thing, nor his slagging of us for that matter, but i can't stand his "hail fellow, well met" shite in the media...he just makes stuff up without validation and presents it all as fact, and 70% of the GAA wold run around believing it.

You're Brolly-lite

Yes the derry golden year video. Does anyone know anyone who will convert vhs to dvd?

Youse have spoiled us with talent over the years and for that the entire country is grateful,  Hugo, Philomena, Janet Devlin, Cush, Micky & The Sledgers and Baldy Pete & His Diving Ensemble 

you see what i did there?/

This is the only thing that big Art said about Meath.

"I can go back to the '90s when Meath were in the ascendancy and their tactics were very simple: the top player on the other team was targeted and everyone within 20 metres of him went in and hit him with everything they had."

Pretty spot on from what I can recall about that Meath team. Don't know what McEntee is whinging about!

as an impartial at the game, i would have to say that the ref was very one-sided.
Armagh looked bereft of ideas in the second half, and donegal looked awesome...had 2 men left to bring on with 5 minutes to of and the team hadnt really broken sweat.

Jarlath og burns is a lethal midfielder but has some learning of the game to do...aidan o'rourke was sent of by the ref?

This thread needs to be deleted lads - its a lose:lose situation....the lack of respect it engenders and begrudgery is mental.
everyone is as innocent or as guilty as everyone else...close it down to f**k and move on
