Joe Brolly

[From the Bunker]

I don't have Sky and haven't missed a game on Sky. Hospitals need to get more devious.

Same as.

If worst comes to the worst it's £8 for a Now TV pass for the day. If you're in any way interested in your county team, £8 isn't a whole lot to ask.

It is cheaper than the tickets to the match!

Wonder how interested in the Gaelic football championship sky will be when their contract ends.

very spiteful article today from brolly regarding the mayo team. it's one thing to analyse and even criticise their shortcomings in trying to win an all ireland, quite another to assassinate their character as men. it's really beyond belief what he gets away with saying about players playing an amateur sport who sacrifice a lot to do it. the extent to which he has poisoned the discourse around gaelic football is shocking

[BennyCake]

Brolly is a bandwagon jumper. Goes on about Crossmaglen, Corofin, Dublin, Kilkenny etc. When these teams win, he tells us "sure didn't I always tell you they were great". And spouts on about how he watches them train, is privy to team talks and training, and is great chums with half the team. Then when those teams lose, silence.

An egotistical bullshitter.

His reaction to Joanne Cantwell saying she would assume players from other counties would be available for charity functions if asked was Misogyny at its finest.

Classless from Joe and no need for it. Always has to make the story about him

Those guys have come back time and again and despite that still had the conviction to try and go toe to toe with Dublin. They just weren't good enough but you couldn't question their character.

Joe's character was questioned by many Derry supporters when he was playing. Maybe Joe has a few pent up issues coming out to play here...

Joe is an out and out attention seeker, absolutely craves it,
Narcissists are often attention seekers. They consider this attention a good source of narcissistic supply and so they actively seek it.
A sustained pattern of attention seeking in adults is often associated with histrionic personality disorder, borderline personality disorder and narcissistic personality disorder.

Ignore him like all the other WUM's you come across in everyday life.

it's just unbelievable that he gets away with it so much. from reading twitter it seems joe has some personal vendetta against the mayo players going back to when they ousted the management team from a few years ago, supposedly he has some direct connection to those two boys and now bears a grudge against the players for getting rid of them. imagine using a national newspaper to settle some personal scores and have a go at fellas who didn't get along with your mates for whatever reason. its astoundingly petty.

Wait until he does a number on Mickey Harte and the Tyrone team!!

[yellowcard]

I predict that Harte will get a few barbed comments from Brolly after yesterday's result. He really does allow personal grudges to influence his analysis way too much. This type of shock jock analysis has got gradually worse with some downright nasty vindictive comments. It is also very obvious that there isn't the same chemistry in the Sunday Game studio since Michael Lyster left, you only realize how good he was when he is gone.

Same happened with Dunphy and Giles after Bill left, they looked past their sell by date.

The difference is Cantwell actually challenges Brollys bullshit instead of letting it go completely unchecked.
Joe doesnt like it and it leads to some very awkward and uncomfortable TV at times.
Rte studio and commentary teams need a complete shake up.
Keep daragh maloney and tomas ose and get rid of pretty much all the rest

Cantwell is like the strict teacher in school trying too hard to put manners on the unruly kid but Lyster could handle him effortlessly without being weak at the same time. She has been disappointing even when Brolly isn't on but Brolly must be a nightmare to have on the show in fairness.

Maloney is the best commentator but is a poor anchor and I agree that Tomas O'Se comes across as just about the best pundit.

Spillane was out of his depth today with Rochford and McStay either side of him in the studio today.

The two Mayo boys have been on the front line. Spillage has been up in the glass box for 30 years
