Sometimes it's no harm to have some one with a different view. Doing the liberal thing is not always doing the right thing. They might not agree with you, they might not be totally right (or wrong), but there is always something they will ad to a debate.


Even when they rile up hatred towards marginalised people resulting in attacks on them. Loads of horseshite lad and you know it.

This is it, the hatred towards other human beings. I've zero room for that point of view, it's a point of view that absolutely disgusts me.

Has Ronan Mullen done the above? I don't recall him ever doing it. Does not seem like his sort of gig.

The podcast excellent this week with Matthew Collins. There you really see what hate can lead to.

Rónán hasn't the appropriate mettle to rile up a mob on that level, he just gives me the impression of being a vainglorious gobshíte bound for ignominy. Brolly would rip him apart in a debate, I'd pay good money to witness that one.

Yes, excellent. As I listened, it reminded me of the story from the TV show "The Walk-in".  I hadnt put two and two together there.

McCarthy text him to say how he had fond memories of that team. McCarthy was 3 when Derry won the All Ireland in 1993. . .
Maybe he meant the players in general as half the 1993 team were still playing around 1999/2000 which he would remember. Tohill played up until 2003.

Gilroy talking about paid coaches and how they are a blight on the game is ironic - much of the Dublin success is down to paid coaches. They have a paid GPO coach in every club or in some clubs three or four. Whilst in other counties coaching is down to volunteerism, which means you get varying degrees of success from year to year. What really  is the difference between this and a paid coach at senior level such as Harte and Devlin - except it's done above board in terms of payment.

Wonder did Joe have the same grievances about Brian Mullins when he took the Derry job or is it because he simply doesn't like Mickey Harte?

Of course not. Just like how there was never a murmur when Gallagher was brought in.

Also never heard Joe complaining when 'Derry legend' Stephen O'Neill (from the West-West-Derry club of Clann na nGael) took over his beloved Dungiven which Brolly is forever loyal to.

Lessons in GAA loyalty from a man currently at his third club in his third county.

Nor Brian Mcivor, Rory Gallagher or Ciaran Meenagh. The list goes on and on.

Tbf he didn't like Gallagher for a long time either. I don't even know where he ended up with Gallagher as he is pretty changeable in his strong opinions.

If you were to, ah hem, believe Brolly in an article of his last year were he said he was instrumental in bringing Mullins in as Derry manager

When it comes to Hypocrisy, Joe really is in a league of his own.

He giving out about paiding managers, and when someone asked why don't you put in for it or similar jobs, awhile back, it was along the lines of someone need pay him over £100k as that what he earns, so he wouldn't do it for nothing either.
