Glad that he's gone. I didn't think he added anything at all, no insight, no entertainment, nothing.

Time for Spillane and o'rourke to follow him out the door

The three lads are 25 years out of the game as players. None have done anything serious in Management. The game they were involved in is light years away from what we have today.

Are there any pundits you want to keep??

I have to say I agree, they were good in their day but now its time to step down. Sky has better coverage at the moment.

How many TSG viewers care though ?

. Younger viewers would care anyway, as they wouldn't remember O Rourke winning All Irelands or Spillane.
Rochford is in the game and knows the scene.. They had Aaron Kernan a few years ago and he was good.

Hearing that Br*lly's got the boot from RTÉ gives me a gives me a feeling similar to the one you get after you've spent a damn good 15 minutes on the toilet just letting it get all go, all re'd out! ☺️

Half time & post match analysis might actually be worth watching again.

If people are no longer going to watch RTÉ's football coverage because of this, then please do - the average viewer IQ will then go up several points. Their Hurling coverage doesn't need someone like Br*lly, nor does any station covering soccer, rugby, tennis, athletics, hockey etc. etc.

Rumours that he was sacked for slipping his Mickey into a Croke Park Apple Crumble while attempting to recreate for Joanne Cantwell  the famous scene from American Pie are adjudged to be well wide of the mark!!  ;D

Oh dear, how bitter!
Some remedial work required on your spelling and grammar as well. Very difficult to decipher what you were saying in that first paragraph. Joe would not be impressed!

I think most of us, deep down, will miss him.

Thinking back uk last week's coverage, the odd thing was that Joe wasn't capable of analysing the match at half time. He seemed upset that Dublin weren't going to pull away. By the end of the match he was back to talking mostly sense.

Reminded me a little of my chain of emotions, when I place a hard earned 20 quid on something and know it's doomed long before the final outcome. 7 stages of grief and all that.

I wonder what stake a barrister must put down to get the same traumas.

Is he gone for good or just for this game ?
Listened to ten mins of podcast  that he did with Dunphy and he just couldn't  shut up and let him ask a question even to me that's his biggest problem and it's very annoying on tv or radio .

His style is made for the club circuit, medal presentations and dinner dances. He won't have to compete for the limelight and he can do his shtick and a bit of name dropping for a willing audience.

Joe is at the stage now where he can pick and choose when he wants to work.

Yes, he has done a great job brown nosing them!
