Bad form and timing from Brolly - he had to know the craic with Harte

[laceer]

Brolly knew what he was at. He has some great points to make but courts the limelight more than anything else he claims to stand for. Poor form as is his want.

Very poor form indeed. Joe covers himself by talking about Derry but his condemnation of all things Tyrone and his personal insults of Mickey Harte, a man who has and has had plenty on his plate is not acceptable behaviour.

[trileacman]

Harte has many flaws, least of which would be his teams tactical setup, but he has at least acted with dignity during his 13 odd years in the spotlight. Pity the same could not be said of Brolly who lacks the same degree of common decency.

Brolly like any of us has reason to be critical of Harte or his tactics but telling someone to "f**k off" on the national radio over something as banal as 30 lads kicking a bag of air around a pitch is frankly the act of an ignorant bastrd.

[BennyHarp]

Joe's usual tactics. Pick a high profile target, throw a load of mud and wait to be talked about. Nothing new here. Getting a bit tiresome at this stage.

[AZOffaly]

He does some great things and is rightly applauded for them. At other times, he's just a dick.

Exactly this.

He's easier to read than he is to listen to. Some of the points he's made in recent weeks have been valid and good journalism. Then he gets carried away with the hype and says things that are nasty, petty, vindictive and deliberately controversial. His use of a dive by Philip Jordan twelve years ago as an example to illustrate a point in yestdays Independent is another case in point. There are examples of dives and similar incidents in every other game and he has to pick one to deliberately annoy Tyrone people and belittle the achievements of a great team. He seems determined to crusade against not just the current teams but past achievements.

I'm getting tired of his, "I was talking to..." spiel every week.
He can't seem to turn a corner without walking into a disgruntled inter-county player.

I'm surprised anyone talks to him as he repeats every conversation in his various columns!

[twohands!!!]

I think his choice of career gives a huge insight into Brolly - basically in his day job he gets paid to argue and it doesn't matter if he's on the  right side or the wrong side of the argument, the longer the argument goes on the more he gets paid.   However in the day job there are certain rules he has to obey - however in his GAA pundit role there are far less rules and so he constantly goes beyond what most people would consider acceptable.

Good man joe
Has all the red arses and gobshite whingers on here moaning about him!!

You lads/kids/girls should know better to not be taken in by his wind ups

In fairness it is believable.

Now if he said 'I was listening to.....<insert whoever>', that wouldn't be credible.

In fairness I don't think most people take him seriously at all, the point here is the awful timing of the article given the situation with Harte.
