Brolly is a Tool - Huge banner at Monaghan v Armagh match

The Gs Man · July 04, 2009, 11:50:12 PM

I didn't catch on to what it meant at all until I came on here......

I thought "An umbrella is a a tool"......... and?

Thanks for clearing it up for me anyway. (Im not blonde by the way)

Surely it was only a bit of craic and should be taken as such?

I wonder wht they'd do if it said "Spillane is a C*nt?"

Disgusting behaviour, and a clear breach of rules, should have been removed. These people would be more at home in a soccer ground, we dont need their kind. As for being tongue in cheek, or a bit of a laugh, i view it more as a thin end of the wedge, which if tolerated could be much worse next time. The line needs to be firmly drawn now

The banner and its non removal was absolutely disgusting.

Whether you love or hate Brolly, idiots shouldnt be given the opportunity to publicly abuse him on national TV. Put yourself in his shoes, some laugh alright.

2 things:
1 - Brolly said he was "delighted" that Monaghan were out after the Derry game. As a pundit, he has been far from neutral in his comments on Monaghan; and
2 - No doubt Brolly will actually be delighted! He loves the attention. I doubt he'll get too upset!

Yeah, I'd say he laughed at it to be honest! Doesn't seem like a fella that would get too annoyed over a wee thing like that.

I thought it was pathetic.

What rules would this fall under?

Worse than starting a thread asking for the removal of an inter county manager in May?

Minders stupid irrelevant response to my post was....Worse than starting a thread asking for the removal of an inter county manager in May?
While his response is so banal and meaningless as to be unworthy of reply, i cant resist retorting that events have shown i was right in May, and future events will prove me right now.

Some of yous need to wise up and relax ffs. Nothing malicious. Nothing inflammatory. Everyone in the ground had a chuckle at it, which I'm sure Brolly himself did.

Unlike the players that brolly abuses, he is well paid for his hystrionics and insightful analysis so if he wants to hand it out he'll have to be prepared to take it

I wonder could they make one saying

"MARTY & JOHN CLARKE
S O S"

The banner was quite funny by dour Ulster standards.

Unfortunately the football is still very grim. Its quite tragic that potential Colm Coopers or Kieran McDonalds will never prosper in the Ulster "system".

The football must be very grim in Munster, Cooper hasnt exactly prospered this year now has he?

As for the banner, I think they got it wrong, a tool is a useful thing, Brolly most certainly isnt.

So the unveiling of a banner a game to abuse a member of the GAA is funny? Is it funny because Brolly hardly gives a shite, he's not that sort, or would it still be funny if it was about someone else?
