Pat Spillane to leave Sunday Game role after 30 years

[restorepride]

Thank god that is behind a paywall. Squeaky bum time for Pat and his record 8 All Irelands Record!

And in Pat's time they only had to win three games and peak for a month.

Pat's articles are very popular for those who pay the tenner a month.

He was dissing Kerry earlier this year but Jack O'Connor has timed the whole thing right.

And managing Clifford * 2 since beating Stewartstown in January has been admirable.

That Off the ball with mcmahon was hard enuf work. Joe doesn't have too much love for Derry by the sounds of it, dressing it up as earnest criticism but sounds bitter, wasn't very nice about Glass and especially McGuigan.

[North Man]

Very few in Derry have much time for Brolly.
Was fortunate to be in the 93 team of a dozen or so leaders.
When it was his time to lead in his later 20's he was hiding.

Your first sentence is true.  Your second is accurate and your third hits the nail on the head - never won a 50-50 ball in his life.

Nothing really, he didn't want to be the centre of attention unlike the guests

I have seen a few of the Derry ones giving out about what Brolly said about Glass and McGuigan. What did he say?

[theticklemister]

"We disrespected him by putting our weakest man marker on him and not sweeping in front of him. Of course only human beings can be marked and David Clifford is not one of those, but Dublin will do a better, smarter job."

Brolly's article today.

Clown.

"Only"
How many games did the Dubs actually  need to focus on this year?

Kildare in the Leinster Championship - who they only beat by 2 points
Ros in the Round Robin.
Derry in the Semi-final.

They won the Leinster final by 21 Points.

Their last round-robin game by 24 points.

Their quarter final by 12 points.

Typical Brolly - can't analyse without insulting an All Star.

He may be, but he's on the money re Clifford and the Dubs' approach I'd say.

[mrdeeds]

Basically he said McGuigan wouldn't get near the Dublin team and is too one footed and has no pace. Thought his criticism of Glass was very over the top. Seemed personal.

Ah right, unnecessary.
