Joe Brolly

[ck]

He's a walking hypocrite who takes us all as fools and doesn't know when his lies have caught up with him. He's not to be taken seriously on GAA matters at any level!

He did a podcast with Ciaran McManus (how does he have time for all these podcasts!!) and moaned (again!) about outside managers and then later said he'd like to go in to management, maybe in a club in Mayo. Would that not make him an outside manager? By his own logic he could only ever coach in Dungiven. Not that they'd have him.
The reality is he has never managed or coached at any senior level, (useful when you're a hurler in the ditch) despite applying for a number of positions and was laughed out of it. To me he is no more than a entertaining comedian who makes up stories and yarns for effect, in an attempt to remain topical in media circles and to stay in the limelight which ultimately is his main objective given his huge ego.

Did you make up or embellish half of that? He is on record as saying only club members should manage a club, same as being a player. To transfer to a club have to live or work in the area (though I sure is ones get around that!). As he lives in Mayo...
Do you know that Dungiven wouldn't have him or is that just an opinion?
Which positions did he apply for and 'get laughed out of it'?
He was turned down at St Brigids, don't know if he was laughed out of it... was very successful as a minor manager there. Which others? Maybe he was.. just wondering.
Seems you are accusing him of the very thing you are doing.... or is all your comments factual?
Where does he get time for the podcasts!! What? !

Aye he was a bit hard on Dion... very defensive of the Finucanes I'd say more in response to the loyalist maggot on Twitter who seeks to tarnish the name of Pat Finucane. Is good they don't name him as in his eyes would be attention he cwaves. Joe did refer to the comments about the Finucanes and yer man the loyalist lisp never stops mouthing bout them.

To be fair, he challenged Dion on what policy he didnt agree with and he couldn't give a straight answer.
Eventually said he didnt agree with the SF agressive approach to a UI. Then backtracked a bit.
Dion went down in my estimation with his response as it felt simply like an anti-UI one and that he's against people promoting a UI.
Maybe I read too much into it.

Maybe you're right. They got into that subject again today but it descended into chaos shouting across each other. Dion is obviously FG or FF... Joe definitely promotes SF ...and as an aside on that note I was disappointed he swerved the topic of them going to the White House on St Patrick's Day as he has been brilliant on Israels genocide and did call out Biden.

I think it's a fair point that you raise re facts so I'll stick to them rather than muddy with my opinion. I stand to be corrected here but he won nothing as a club minor manager, with reportedly the best team in the county. The team was taken over by someone else and they won the u20 c/ship. Also I am familiar with Dungiven Gaels and they'd be sharp in their response when Brolly is mentioned!

So all any "outside" manager has to do is to be a club member and all is forgiven by Brolly? That's just ridiculous, surely anyone can become a club member? Unless you put a time frame on it, say has to be a member for 3 years? What about the ex player whos membership has lapsed, can he not manage the team? It's just nonsense.

Did he not manage St Brigids to win the Antrim minor championship? I think he did... and got to U16 Paul McGirr Cup final (Ulster).
Club player is supposed to live or work in the area and he suggested the manager be the same, so there no need to wait three years. I took it to mean manage a team in Mayo as he now lives there. I doubt he needs money through that source of income.
Dungiven haven't won the county championship since he was playing, 1997 so players not in much of a position to slag him off.

What does a Tyrone man know about Dungiven? Yip, f**k all!

Joe is the same boy who gave the same loyalist maggot the legitimacy and publicity he craves by appearing with him on a podcast that turned into such a pathetic love in, it was enough to make a Viking throw his ringpiece up.

Joe made a wee boy out of him but have to agree with you..  should have given him no publicity whatsoever. Joe was invited onto the Unionist podcast.

Could have refused. Can't help himself, loves sound of his own voice.

Yeah should have refused to talk to that muppet.

Would Joe be a well respected barrister or a bit of a head the ball?

I've been told his confidence outweighs his ability.

Would Joe be a well respected barrister or a bit of a head the ball?

Now he's living in Mayo, is  he still practising as  a barrister?  I mean, the laws are  different north and south , so he hardly  makes the long trek from Mayo  to the north for  every case?

He certainly is - there's a few high profile Republican and Loyalist cases he's involved in. A lot of preliminaries are done  by instructing solicitors or barristers on Zoom these days.
