Hard for the recently deceased to contradict one of Joe's yarns. I doubt Gay Byrne would know who he was, and particularly when in the nip.

Heard someone say lately about Gay rarely or never been seen in Croke Park. He wasn't into sport. But of course, everyone is on first name terms with Brolly  ::)

If it happened in Joe's imagination, that means it could have happened in real life ;D  If Joe had been skinny dipping in arctic sea bathing conditions and Gay Byrne just happened to be passsing by, that's the converstaion which might have transpired,  to fit exactly into a leading paragraph of a self eulogising article years later, just days after the alleged mainwitness died.

Wasn't there an alleged academic, Peter Hart, who wrote a book slandering Tom Barry and the west cork brigade, based on alleged anecdotal accounts of dead men.

What is it, Celebrity Death Match??

Spewan outdid himself again this week. Tweeted that Gay Byrne was a "vile pr1ck". Deleted it when he sobered up. Alcoholism may explain some of his problems.

Didn't Ewan's Daddy work for RTE?

Of those 4 I could only tolerate Parkinson. Why is he taking on a Barrister, he'll be destroyed.

Zero interest either way.

Yes. RTE Producer John MacKenna that had 10 year Ewan in RTE getting gigs from ten years of age.

The same Ewan who rails against the Rugby boys for the privilege and leg up life afforded them.

Joe going to do punditry for Eir. Going against his own beliefs.

Joe Brolly doesn't have beliefs ffs. Everything he says is for attention.

In a nutshell and Eir must be fairly desperate themselves for attention to have him as a pundit.

He'll get them viewers. Just look at this thread.

Don't really care as I don't have Eir, so I won't have to listen to the bollix.

Do you think extra gaa aficionados will tune into Eir for a league game just to listen to Joe?

Joe couldn't live without a platform, he's probably been begging them for months and they have finally relented. He's probably paying them for the seat space.

Great news to have Joe back on tv.
