Brolly being the talented QC that he is, outmanuevered the hapless Davis,
he said the article was taken out of context but the original article in gaelic life was far more insulting than the extracts on the examiner.
Davis failed to call him on it.
Brolly also wants to be an honourary kerry man his sycophancy towards them is cringe worthy.
And Cork half backs scored more than kerry HBs in the last 2 years.

What's insulting? Please detail these grevious insults.

If you call a man a c**t it might be insulting. Calling a system of play 'primative' is hardly insulting. His basis thesis is that if Cork adopted a more 'modern' system of play which didn't rely so heavily on the two guys on the inside line, they'd be near unbeatable. The fact that they win playing what Brolly terms 'primative' football where they 'bore' their way through teams should be taken as a complement as to how good they could be. His basic point is that Cork are winning despite themselves. He said that they beat a mediocre Down team by a point, and that's a fact.

As usual people just latch onto any word like 'primative' and run away making their own stories up. I'm not fan of Brolly as a pundit but he is correct in this case (imo). Anyone taking offence needs to step back and think about what he said and wrote. Don't also forget that he will embelish the words for dramatic effect. If he said 'traditional' instead of 'primative' would the offence be as great? It's also his own objective view which he is paid to present. Noone should take it too seriously, amateur or not.


Did you read the original article or not? If you you did you would see that the whole thing was in a mocking insulting tone, there was nothing constructive
in it. Read it and see.
Brolly was in a debate with Donal og Cusack about the GPA in the cork opera house a few months ago by all accounts Donal ran rings around him, Brolly is all bluster no substance.

Yes, I did read it and is why I said "Don't also forget that he will embelish the words for dramatic effect". My post was attempting to explain what I thought was the rationale behind what he was saying from a football point of view. He is a media figure and will use language to wind people up. Part of the terriority. It's also an objective opinion and not to be taken seriously. It's opinion, not fact. Anyone taking grave offence at that needs to grow up. Glad Donal Og got his way. There would probably have been some class of a strike had he not.
:D
Nostalgia isn't what it used to be.

those stats are incorrect aswell as tyrone scored 1-02 from their defence against armagh, not 1-01
easy mistake to make, seeing s o'neill scored 0.1 you'd just presume it was stephen.

Its amazing Brolly makes a living at being a barrister. Maybe the intellectual powerhouse that is Donal Óg should give up trying to get paid for playing hurling and get into the legal game as he's sure to be better than Brolly at that. We could get the audience in the Cork Opera House to be the jury in any case he tries!

Youre right, its not to be taken seriously because it was a load of balls.
Cusack sent Brolly back to derry with his tail between his legs and now he fires pot shots at cork from the safety of his newspaper!
What happened to Tohill this year, did the Kerry mafia take him out? At least there was one good pundit from Derry.

Dont be sore at us just because your lad got his arse handed to him by Brolly .... you Cork lads are just powder puffs when it comes to the crunch, whether its football or punditry !

The Cork half back line truly showed up Brolly to be wrong by scoring 100% of their second half total today  ;)  :D

O wait I should have watched the full way through.

Am I hallucinating or did  just hear McStay saying (twice) that when the ball comes back off the post, the attacker is ONSIDE ? ? ? I must be. Otherwise this is the most lunatic thing I've ever heard a GAA pundit say, leaving Tommy Lyons and his gain line in the shade.

I noticed that, OK. What does "as such" mean?

Why has Harte refused to talk to the Sunday Game for ages now?

Overthebar!

Fair play to McGeeney there in the post match interview. Can't see what Donegal are crying about, no angels themselves which McGeeney touched on with his comment about what some of the Donegal players said to him after the game.
