Joe Brolly

[Croí na hÉireann]

He got down to the last three.

Next DG is already between two people.

Who are they?

McKenna & McGill

If McKenna gets it we may as well hand the keys to the GPA

[Rossfan]

Paranoia reigns.
Maybe Dermot could take on both roles with Sean Kelly and Desserts Farnell as his assistants.

[Taylor]

Burns did appeal to me but then he started this nonsense about the National anthem and the flag. Wont endear him to some.
Would have thought he would remain neutral until he got the job.

Bar that he would be a good choice and one that can see all sides and not just the GPA which previous presidents seem to have done and is a major bone of contention

[Jinxy]

Give both jobs to Liam Griffin.

[Rossfan]

Keep them hurley crowd out.

Self-obsessed indeed. I recall a column a while ago. Brolly cycling in the hills of Tenerife or somewhere, on his own, car passes him and man shouts "Brolly, you Derry w****r!" or something similar.  Poor Joe. Can't even get peace cycling high in the Tenerife mountains. David Beckham would get more peace being out and about.

Probably didn't happen though

Yes, but it shows you what he's like. He wrote another about Enda Kenny joking with him about something he said on TSG. I'm so famous even the President takes time out of busy schedule to come over to talk to me. Big head.

More probably Mario Rosenstock.

Jarlath is a politician, he see's it as a career move.

If McKenna get's the DG job then the slippery slope will just get slippier. Mr commerce.

If McKenna became DG then the show is over.

[Rossfan]

What's with all the drama queen stuff?
What "show is over"?

Agree. Christ almighty that's f**king scary. Not that the thoughts of the other man fill me with joy but McKenna is a f**king disaster.

[regal]

A ballbag

[Rossfan]

Could the paranoid one please explain why McKenna
is a ballbag
F***ing scary
F***ing disaster
Show is over
Slippery slope.

Very disappointing to hear that talk about Peter McKenna.  This is a man who has turned Croke Park into one of the finest stadiums in the world with facilities that win awards every year.  It is the only totally carbon neutral stadium in the world and its conference facilities are making the association many millions a year.  This is his job and he also now holds the marketing portfolio for the association.  It is incredible to read how defensive some people are when talking about GAA and marketing.  Only a few years ago, the whole talk was on how the GAA didn't market itself properly and now when we are doing an expert job on it, the man who has finally negotiated a fair price for our GAA games is not getting the credit he deserves.  Peter is a brilliant man.  A world renowned expert on how to run a stadium and his performance as marketing manager has been outstanding so far.  I would not comment on how he would do as DG; no-one can say until they saw him in that role for a few years, but the DG is there to do the bidding of the association.  He doesn't run it.  He doesn't have a 51% share, but he does as he is told.  Paraic Duffy learnt that at last year's congress when his reasonable proposals re replays and the bringing back of the All Irelands were defeated.  Calling someone a ballbag or a tool does not help the debate.  The GAA is lucky to have someone of the calibre of Peter McKenna running the stadium and the marketing operation of the GAA.
