Quote from: Tubberman on April 05, 2024, 10:50:39 PMWill he ask about the embarrassing legal threat to Supermacs over the April Fools joke?

They'll not apologise for clamping down on ambush marketing and rightly so.

They'd want to pick and choose their battles.
Corporate Croke Park against a homegrown company that is a big GAA sponsor isn't likely to win much popular support.

Who is "corporate Croke Park"? There is only one GAA and these people are charged with protecting the brand to raise revenue for all of us. Supermacs should be undermining the brand in this way and would likely be just as protective of anyone using their brand.

It was a bit of craic on April Fools Day from a company long associated with the GAA. Paddy Power is at it every day of the week. Trumped up nonsense from know alls in HQ who have lost the run of themselves.  The same muppets who would ban charity advertising on jerseys and are driving the GAAGO  paywall. 

I think they 'banned' Tipperary from wearing the DQ Foundation jerseys last year iirc.

Bit of common sense would go down well at HQ.

Can only hope Jarlath will knock a few heads together and bring decision making back to the basics - look after your community and cherish the things that are unique about the GAA.

Quote from: Duine Inteacht Eile on April 05, 2024, 10:38:38 PMBrolly knows what he's at. He recognises that he has about 15 minutes and to avoid answering any direct question that may be uncomfortable, he gets in first just talking shite and telling wee random stories.

How to avoid cross examination in simple steps.

Brolly was on the show tonight? thankfully I gave it a miss.

Unfortunately I don't think that's true. Peter McKenna runs Croke Park as a corporate entity, there to make money, and as far as I can see he couldn't care less whether it's Taylor Swift or an All-Ireland final that's booked in, as long as it brings in the cash.
He's as far removed from the local club volunteers as it's possible to be.
I mention Peter McKenna as he's the name I know, but presumably there's a large team of people involved.

Peter McKee a does what he us told to do, which includes bringing in more money, which then makes its way to local clubs.
It us fine to say that he should d stop trying to make money, if you are happy to raise that money some other way or do without.

Any idea what this looks like in a practical sense? If I'm a random club in the middle of Armagh, how am I seeing this revenue coming in? And what sort of money are we talking annually?

Rossfan

"Gael" is such a quaint old term  ;D
Best of luck to him personally but I'd have expected a "GAA Special" to be about gaelic games players not some ladeen playing another sport overseas.

We're going to bring home the SAM

From the Bunker

Just watched Brolly and MDMA on Youtube.

12 minutes of an interview. Interview dominated by Brolly, All bar a couple of seconds given to MDMA.

Told a couple of stories about MDMA - With MDMA giving him the That's not what really happened Stare.

Then there was the touchy feely stuff during all of this with Brolly. MDMA a guest who ended up an audience member. You can see at the end MDMA is anxious to get the f*** out of there. Cringe!

So you didn't bother watching the 10/15 mins before that where Paddy was talking to Michael Darragh on his own and in particular about his families experience with organ donation. Brolly was brought on as a guest along side Michael Darragh after that interview. But sure why let facts get in the way of the fact you need to let the rest of us know how much you dislike Brolly.

No, I didn't see the earlier bit or know about it. Why have MDMA still there, if he had said his bit? I don't like Brolly, that my prerogative. He craves attention. His stories are renowned for the I was talking to such and such and that was the magic formula for winning the AI.
I understand you are from Derry and have a different perspective or Loyalty. And good for you!

The format of the Late Late is that the first guest stays on and plays a small part in the subsequent discussion. Brolly is a bit of  a windbag, but the format of the show was what you would expect.

What was the  point of that opening bit ? John Finucane, Fergal Mc Custer etc.  Same with  going to a Trinity with Gilroy? Why was  any of that relevant?

And I noticed  he still does the  arm across thing, when MDMA   contributed something  . Basically, shut up, I'm talking.

I'm no lover of Joe either and you are entitled to your opinion. It's the constant need for people to keep telling us all how much they don't like Brolly every time he pops up somewhere. Twitter is a classic case of that. And in this case, you went to YouTube and sat through 12 minutes of it letting it wreck your head. If he does that much turn it off or watch something else on YouTube. That's the bit I don't get!
