Derry Club Football & Hurling original

[screenexile]

He now reckons Shane McGuigan wouldn't get into the Dublin team... Jesus wept! 🤦🏼‍♂️

[Sonny Joe]

Then every now and then he drops a wee dose of reality on free state media about the hardship endured by northern nationalists and we all think he's the bees knees.
Or some Tyrone hoor attacks him and the "he's our cnut" comes out to play.

He's just another person with another opinion.

Hardly just another person given his media profile?!!!  Fairly wide of the mark there!!!!  Hawk-eye not required!  A good analyst never has to stoop to personal attacks in order to provide good analysis but Brolly has done this on a regular basis over the years from his privileged media-perch.  The personal stuff isn't a victimless wee hobby for the Joe-show.  There are families and communities behind these players who deserve better.  Very few in Derry think he's the bees knees and even fewer in Dungiven, I'd imagine, given one of his more recent performances. His recent personal attack on Conor Glass, the Derry Captain, will be remembered.  Disgraceful headline-hunting with easy prey.

Your idea of a personal attack and mines are definitely different. He gave his opinion on how Glass performed in the last three biggest games of football he played in. Thats not personal nor insulting. Thats what football analysis is. Now saying Cavanagh wasn't a man, that was personal.

Everytime you read or hear Joe saying something controversial just remember that deep down inside Joe "There's always a void"

https://www.independent.ie/sport/a-walk-on-the-wild-side-paul-kimmage-meets-joe-brolly/29760681.html

Much like a teenager craving validation through 'Likes' on social media platforms, Joe thrives on being the center of attention.

Joe doesn't dislike his county, he doesn't dislike Glass or McKaigue.  He just picks something and says something that he knows will get a reaction from people which will give him that 'kick' he so desires.

In order to stand out and validate his sense of importance, he must go against the grain and embrace controversy.

This is very similar to other personalities such as Katie Hopkins, Piers Morgan, Ben Shapiro etc who simply jump on any bandwagon going past or magnify the slightest of topics just to stay in the media limelight.

Deep down Joe is a good person, a son, a brother, a father.... just like us all.

Maybe we should all collectively send Joe a big massive gaaboard hug and show his inner child that he is much loved in this big bad complex world

Suggesting that Conor "hides" is not personal?!  Joe doesn't know how to analyse without getting personal and insulting.  I wonder has Grimley had a conversation yet?

Brolly is going to cost Shane McGuigan an all star if he starts setting the narrative in the media that he's not that good. Spillane said he's not a top 10 forward and Joe was nodding along. Joe claims he's too slow and Philly McMahon said he wouldn't get on Dublin team. This is a man that scored 18 points in the championship vs a Monaghan side who pushed the Dubs all the way, put in as good a performance in an Ulster final as you will see and was Derrys motm in about 3 other championship games. It will be a disgrace if he doesn't get his all star.

Brolly hasn't mentioned Derry all year; it's like he was waiting for them to finally lose a game to stick the knife in.

Exactly - and getting 'the knife in' is usually personal.  Shane is far from slow - hopefully himself and Brendan will get the All-Stars they deserve.  Shane is also current top scorer 2-52 (58)(54 scores), ahead of Clifford 5-39(54)(44 scores).  Clifford is likely to pass him after tomorrow but Shane deserves his All Star, especially after his Ulster Final heroics.

I don't listen to any of his podcasts or read any of his articles anymore ,  he just wants to keep himself in the public eye

Sorry meant to also say Shane and Brendan definitely deserve All-stars this year imo

Well in all honesty Brolly knows about hiding, very good footballer for Derry, but got calfed all too easy, when Derry needed him most.

"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.

[Wildweasel74]

McKeigue would be our best man marker, if game played again tomorrow I want the same man on Clifford, but eat up the space in front of him, which Dublin have done today.

I really don't see why Brolly is trying to set himself up as the biggest tomfool in the world.

Good win for Lavey in their first game of Antrim SFC

Both picked on the RTÉ Sunday Game team of the year last night which will do their chances no harm.  Also Conor McCluskey.

All 3 would be well deserved All Stars
