The Sunday Game

[Jinxy]

In fairness he obviously said it tongue-in-cheek. If this is what we're getting upset about now - the bould womaniser extraordinare Martt Morriessiey being insulted by Brolly - the thread has jumped the shark.

Brolly himself acknowledges it was a low act.
You should ask Cake to call over to the house with his protractor and give you a hand adjusting your moral compass.

"Marty Morrissey is a decent, good humoured man. When I apologised to him he was quick to accept it. But there is no doubt he was hurt. It was a very poor thing to say and I am still cringing about it as I write this."

Never said it was in good taste. He was right to apologize but it easily one of the silliest things Broly's walked himself into. I guess in a lot of peoples' eyes he's set himself up to be raked over for every minor indiscretion but calling for someone to be fired because they made a bad joke (as some here were) was more OTT than anything Broly's ever said.

If it was a one off brain fart then I'm sure most would have laughed it off, but unfortunately it's been a consistent trait of his "analysis" for a few years now. But if that's the sort of shite that you accept as analysis then fair enough, each to their own.

[Main Street]

I think that negative trait is getting worse, not just consistent. Joe doesn't even acknowledge that he might have to behave himself for a while and there is no evidence that he's emotionally maturing to deal with type of nonsense.

Maybe someone else has a better memory of all his dubious moments but I suspect they are getting progressively wackier  and more often.

I didn't see the MM insult last Sunday so I just YouTubed it. I then saw this one again after it.
O'Rourke's reaction to Joe's rant showed Joe up for his bias and ego of being controversial.

RTE certainly have an out of control Ulster man now who is calling the shots with sensationalism.
I wonder will they regret it or are viewing numbers rising as more shit is stirred.

All the housewives will be tuning in to see what Joe says about their hero next.

Off the top of my head, the jibe at Colm O'Rourke regarding his property dealings and the comments about Rachel Wyse show a reasonable level of consistency.

I want to see positive and negative punditry

An intelligent person should know when to avoid it getting personal.
Otherwise, they do it deliberately

[5 Sams]

For a man of his standing professionally it was a bit stupid. Surprised he came out with that shite. The real professional during that incident was Michael Lyster. Class act.

[Fuzzman]

I forgot about how relevant this sketch was

[Fuzzman]

Lyster is a true gent and a great unbiased anchor man unlike Dessie and Spillane was for a while.

[Fear ón Srath Bán]

Fook's sake, was hopeful there, then he said "Spillane & O'Rourke"!

[Zulu]

Pat doing his usual stat attack feature. If he hadn't a load of useless stats to list out I'm not sure he'd have anything to say.

That and his Similes and Metaphors. And his age old pub-jokes!

[Itchy]

I predict a "state of football" debate is on the way
