I saw the clip of Brolly's rant. Basically he was allowed rant for 5 minutes and got increasingly more defensive and wouldn't let Spillane talk. I thought Pat was very restrained and was much more reasonable in the few points he was allowed to make.

All you have to do is look at the look on Brolly's horrible puss at the very end to know who came out the winner here. It was priceless  ;D

Brolly is very funny. He just plays with Spillane and can rise him at will. It's a bit like a version of Statler and Waldorf where Statler has the smarts and Waldorf doesn't. It must be great fun for Lyster to get paid for being a part of that.

Yeah, he is funny. His impression of a drunk is dead on.

Brolly's argument, in other words, is that when teams beat Kerry, they beat them narrowly and usually only get on top in the last ten minutes, but when Kerry win, they tend to win easily.

Seems to me that's not surprising for one of the best teams around and hardly qualifies as ground-breaking analysis.

The RTÉ player is not blocked in the North, only if your IP number does not indicate that it is in North will you have any problems.
If at first you don't succeed, then goto Plan B

Plus we get RTE2 through our skybox.

Brolly's point made simple. Over the last 10 - 15 years it seems that if you can stick with Kerry for 60 minutes they will choke/crumble in the last 10 and will get beaten. Seems pretty straight forward to me.

Its a stupid argument because he is trying to make it seem as if its specific to Kerry. That argument can be made against any of the "top" team if you look at the totality of their results. Losing in the quarter final dumps you out of the AI championship just as surely as losing in the final does you know.

It's actually crazy the stick kerry have gotten the last few months. The brolly article was a load of dung, doesn't matter if he's being funny or winding up or whatever. Kerry were there every year to be beaten in a tight game, just like mayo deserve credit for getting there in 04 and 06. Tyrone certainly enjoyed taking a few gap years in 06 and 07 when they were brutal, and armagh didn't reach enough finals either. The amount of people who have bought into the arguement shows a lack of football knowledge. Kerry still have the best 'top 10' players of any side in the country, in saying that i think donegal have a good chance of beating them, and of course i'l be supporting donegal anyway.

Have to say 'The Sunday Game' is a mess. Sports coverage has moved on and this show seems to be stuck in the '90s. When you have limited time to show games, why would you try and make it into a magazine programme with players looking at past games and footage? Fresh modern analysists are needed, people who understand the modern game. Provincial analysist are needed for the provincial championship. What do Spillane and O'Rourke know about the Connacht Championship for example. They usually make that educated uninformed guess that Galway will win and are legitimately surprised when this does not happen. Games shown live during the day need little coverage in the evening show while uncovered games should get more than 3 minutes skimpy highlight coverage. Why is it on so late on a Sunday night? Why cannot there be a Saturday highlights show?

Yeah, look when you are at the top table and get beat, the standard is higher in expectation. So you lose a final or semi-final, your performance gets greater scrutany. I always smile at the lack of stick our neighbours (Galway) get from the media. Mainly because they are out and forgotten about in the championship come mid July, whereas we (Mayo) are in the limelight and losing some Final, semi-final etc, and getting it goodo!
