Sickening disrespectful article by Brolly today. No surprise though in that rag. The Sunday Indo had no coverage of the Championship last weekend but gave a full page in the sports section to 'Rory's Stories', half page to gambling another to Joe... insightful GAA coverage in the Indo stable is non existent.

The sports section on a Sunday is about the only decent section of that newspaper.

There is no decent section of that newspaper. An utter rag, and the daily edition is quickly catching up on it's Sunday version.

It has strong coverage of the Hutch-Kinahan feud, in-particular the ramifications from the Regency spectacular.

Though, saturday's edition would be the closest.

I'm no fan of Joe Brolly, but his interview last week on Off The Ball last week was very entertaining, in particular the line about needing to be careful not to get "knocked over by kangaroos" at lower level GAA courts.  ;D

Whereas the guy from the CHC came across as a pompous moron!
That was never a square ball!!

I actually thought Liam Keane explained a complex situation pretty well.  Good line about 30 inaccuracies in Brolly's interview.  Brolly certainly gave the impression that he steamrollered through the appeal hearing with a pint of Guinness in his hand spouting Latin showing the Dublin fancy Dans who was boss.  He wasn't even there.
I thought Keane handled himself very well.

I also thought it was a good opportunity to hear from GAA people in his role who constantly have their integrity questioned by GAA people as if they're up in Croke Park trying to screw all the weaker teams' players.

Had to laugh at that bit, showed Brolly up for the bullshitter that he is

Far from it, Benny.
Explained a complex issue very well, despite the clown of an interviewer butting in all the time.
Calm, logical and reasonable.
You'd know he was a Meath man.
If you were any use you'd be playing.

I'll have a listen again. I was listening on the train on the way into work, so maybe I didn't give it full attention. I just thought he sounded like he was not prepared to accept any responsibility for the chain of events, even though the whole thing was a complete shambles. I didn't think he convincingly explained why the CCCC held on to evidence that could have made this a non incident had it been handled correctly. The whole bit on them having their reputation tarnished and they were amateurs too was a bit nauseating too considering the coverage Fitzpatrick got and nobody has a clue who Liam Keane was before that interview so hardly an equal comparison.
That was never a square ball!!

I'd agree as well. Mayo's Keane was mentioned as an example of a player from a top 4 County say who was cleared to play, I wish he'd have been pushed a bit more on it (maybe he got off on a technicality, I can't remember).
The CHC man also mentioned that a player can have a club member accompany him to any of the 2 layers of the appeal process before it hits the DRA,  if that club man happens to be a solicitor, that's a stroke of luck for the player / club. I'd say there's many a club about have a handy solicitor as a member who hasn't darkened the doors of the clubhouse  ;)
