Joe Brolly

Joining another club did not affect his "Dungiveness"
Managing weens at another club in another county did not affect his "Dungiveness".
The board appointing a man from Fermanagh who was on his 3rd county job did not affect his "Dungiveness"

But the Derry county board appoint Mickey Harte and now Brolly doesn't know who he is anymore.

Another shining example of his ego/narcissism in that podcast was his anecdote about applying for the senior managers position at St Brigids. Basically his description was:

'Everyone knew how great I'd be at it and told me I should apply. They gave it to someone else and, [exact quote:] "needless to say it was a disaster".

He's actually starting to sound a little unhinged

He's actually starting to sound a little unhinged

He must be    annoyed  that his platforms  for attention seeking is diminishing. Or at least , the numbers who hear/see him are diminishing

I like Brolly and generally think he makes alot of good points on a variety of topics, BUT,
after listening to the podcast i have to say it was ridiculous the stuff he came out with.

Melodramatic to the extreme.
Carrying Eamon Colemans coffin with tears running down his face, not going to watch Derry this year, painting himself as some sort of messiah at St Brigids (Blow-Up dolls included), the unquestionable moral compass and general narcissism was brutal.

Why does he constantly need a new bogeyman to go after every few months.
He seems to have serious issues that the 90s are long gone and society has moved on regardless of what way he claims to view the world.

Although made a tit of himself yet again, Gilroy raised a worrying point about the local soccer club and the way it has headed, how long till our local gaa clubs have the same problem, why should I do it for nothing when your man is getting paid thousands etc

Saw a trailer there for his new episode out tomorrow, it's more of the same, Micky Harte, volunteerism, Pat Gilroy etc & how he is about to make an "official" complaint to Croke Park about the Harte "transfer"

Still stuck in the 80's myself!

And the only person who gets anything out of this is Brolly, attention....oh,and advertising revenue from gambling companies advertising on his podcast lest we forget

Joe's opinion will soon be completely discarded, if not already.  The hyperbole barely masks his increasing anxiety to be taken seriously.  Ask Dungiven people - his Dungiven-ness has been decaying for quite a while now and in recent years/interviews has been very negative about his own native area and upbringing.  Joe may end up Dungiven-less.  "A good Harte these days is hard to find."

Lads what is the podcast called?

Good point

[tyroneman]

Who was it that got the St Brigids senior position ahead of him, which he appears so annoyed about?

[tyroneman]

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?

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 

From Joe's very own Indo column almost exactly this time last year...

'Derry needed a senior manager for the 1996/97 season. Brian was the principal of the huge Carndonagh Community School in Donegal. I met him after a game in Croke Park and asked him if he would be interested. He immediately said, "Yes." I said, "Really?" He said, "Yes."

I rang the county board and passed it on. A few months later, we arrived at Owenbeg and there he was, wearing that funny bushwacker hat, massive and intimidating'

Odd he didnt seem too exercised then about an outside manager for his beloved Derry..... wonder what changed 🤔
