He basically created a rod for his own back with his views on pay per view and how vocal he was about them.

Brolly a legend hes not afraid to speak his voice.

He's a good man to talk the talk but nowhere near man enough to walk it.

Do think lads are being a bit hard on Brolly. He is entitled to make a living doing what he likes and if we all picked our jobs based on principles, many would be out of work. Besides what EIR will show would likely never be on free to air TV and old men in nursing homes would need to read the morning paper for a report, if they even had a paper... and even then would probably be a few lines dialed in by a reporter not even at the match.
This argument was used to defend the sky deal and it was shot down.

I know. But Sky is championship. RTE would probably taken some of those big games Brolly complained about. They would have no interest in the league games Eir are showing; TG4 maybe. I didn't agree with Brolly on Sky; I thought their coverage really upped the ante. And I grew up in a time when All-Ireland semi's and finals were the only games ever shown, so thought his whole point was nonsense. But he was fired and is entitled to take up employment elsewhere. I actually prefer media (newspaper, print, digital) where you hear views you vehemently disagree with. Otherwise you are either stuck in an echo-chamber hearing your own views, or listening to very dull and safe commentators.

Aside from Eir Sports?????

I thought this in particular was scandalous and just sums Brolly up - vindictive, spiteful and nasty. A man who will make up any old nonsense just to settle scores.

Reminds me of a great passage in the bible Matthew 6:14-15

Not much football on it to watch. RTE threw football into the scrapheap for hurling last summer.

OK, we agree he can be all those things, vindictive, nasty and spiteful, as shown in the example above, but 'but nowhere near man enough to walk it'. The man gave one of his kidneys ffs.

And a past act from Brolly does not excuse the nasty and spiteful jibes he has put forward over the past few years, many of which he has based on complete fabrications.

He is a nasty character.

Brolly is a very generous and benevolent person as shown by giving a kidney to save a life and all the work he does for organ donation. He's really passionate about football but hates cheating and defensive crap football. Hence why Tyrone have come in for a lot of criticism from him. He calls it as it is though and he will be missed on rte.
