What are the dates for Ulster semi finals?poor show from down against a antrim team with serious injury list.

27th / 28th

Ok fair enough. Though I agree with him bout Harte... Tally as bad going to Kerry. Is why Cody didn't shake hands with Shefflin, trying to plot the downfall of his own county...

What do you agree with him about re Harte?

That there are enough good Derry men with that tradition without lining Hartes pockets... a cartel of managers doing the rounds... sure you know what he said.

Is it just the fact it's Harte and it's Derry that's really galling ? You're from Tyrone, big chance a Derry man or two has been at your club. The players, who are the most important part of all this, wanted Harte / Devlin.
Bottom line is Brolly doesn't like Harte, so with his platform, as he does with anyone he doesn't like, he let's the world know continuously. Calling a 70 something GAA coach a cnut or whatever isn't the behaviour of a mature adult. Don't buy the bullshit it's because he's an outside manager, Brolly was, by his own admission instrumental in bringing Mullans in in the 90s, the mans a walking contradiction, partly truth and partly fiction.

Kristoffersen? Is don't care who managed what team, is totally against the ethos of the GAA £££... but to go to your biggest rivals.. nah..

Emotion more than principle, not a kick in the arse of Joe's position

Which Derry manager/s do you have in mind?

That's for Derry to sort out, great GAA county it is... can't find a manager 🤷 plenty doing the rounds

But you can't name one.
 

Barry Dillon.. Conleith Gilligan... Johnny McBride

A Sigerson in 10 years isn't much of a CV for this current Derry team. Conleith for the future. Johnny, no

[The Mickey Harte thing is just the latest thing]

Latest podcast was a bit ott in terms of GAA exceptionalism, GAA has its share of fraud, spivs, spoofers, and wrong'uns - Joe's experience seems akin to Tom Cruise involvement in Scientology

And why so much hate for Micky Harte - referred to as 'that man' in the latest episode, a bit much

I used to find Brolly really interesting, he actually seems to be becoming slightly unhinged.

I can easily see him totally ostracised in the media world and an Ewan MacKenna type character in a few years

His podcasts are very good and popular albeit he is prone to tall tales. A far cry from Ewan McKenna.

Don't know an awful lot about McKenna or his background, but Brolly and him share a similar narcissistic trait, it's all about them and being the centre of attention even if that is offending people.

The Harte thing is Joe being Joe, saying something controversial so that he is "trending" on social media, there must be an adrenaline hit in it for people wired like Joe.

That's exactly  right.  As Oscar Wilde Said , "there's only one thing worse than being talked about , and that's not being talked about".

Brolly  has to be in the  limelight, regardless  of who suffers or who he insults.  He just needs to be centre of attention .  The Mickey Harte thing is just the latest  thing

It's fairly tiresome at this point. I see he will now not let his entrenched hatred towards Mickey Harte stop him attending games. He loves this Derry team now that they're going somewhere, the same group who told him to run on when he tried to enter the Clones changing rooms and bask in their glory after we beat Donegal 2 years ago.

You got your ticket for the All Ireland Final yet?

Quality comeback (clapping emoji)

Popcorn stuff listing the the Derry wans - "real supporters" mind you.

You do realise you're quoting yourself Coco? 

[It's a nonsense to suggest that corporate or premium tickets could be redistributed to 'real' fans.]

300 approx as far as I'm aware in Derry

Yet there will be endless whining if Derry do reach the All Ireland.

Could it reach the lunacy levels of '93?? That would be something to behold. Hoor's still haven't spoken to each other since. Clubs really struggled to get anyone to fill committee positions in' 94.

Thing is though, if they drastically decreased the corporate numbers attending the AI Final and increased the % to both senior finalists, pretty much everyone whose deserves a ticket would get one out of a capacity of over 82k.

I believe around 50% of the Celtic Pk stand is going to Donegal and Derry clubs, that's a hell of alot of seats going elsewhere.

Croke park had drastically reduced capacity in 93 iirc - 63k? Probably much of a muchness with the amount that's available nowadays after corporates and premium tickets are distributed.

It's a nonsense to suggest that corporate or premium tickets could be redistributed to 'real' fans. These tickets are generally bought on a 10 year basis and if the rights to the all Ireland finals were removed, they wouldn't have too much value.

Not 'corporate' corporate, those seats are pre paid for...the many thousands in regular seats that won't have been to a single game all year, the sweeteners

What a load of aul bollox! Derry reaches its second final ever.... Of course there's going to be a scramble with the county with the bandwagon jumpers. No different to the situation in any other county in Ireland in the same position. And I don't recall clubs struggling to fill positions the following year either?

  lighten up, the committee bit was obviously in jest!

Kelleher has had a nightmare tonight

Mad singling out the keeper when those in front of him stunk the place out. Liverpool fans must realise tonight what it's like to be a Utd fan atm, the lack of effort from a good half dozen of them was shocking

I'm an Arsenal fan 😂

I'd no idea who you support, point still stands

Derry and Donegal not exactly queuing up to guarantee their tickets, which is rather odd as Derry has a good chance of reaching the AI final.

Quare change considering Derry were playing in front of a few hundred in Div4 not so long ago.

Fans were taking a well earned break is all #allaboard
