Joe Brolly

Hopefully he has pissed on his chips big style as far as his RTE job is concerned

Some people just want want knock lads down. It must be a depressing existence.

Have you actually read some of your own posts over the past few weeks?

If you're really comparing Broly giving Marty a little jibe and your lads elbowing and kneeing players, nevermind goading an opposition player about his dead father, well I can only tell you that you've lost all sense of perspective.

What are you talking about?

It would be if I had a scintilla of the bitterness you obviously have

How can he be sacked for making a factually accurate statement?

That was the RTE panel's equivalent of sledging.
I have to say I laughed out loud at Joe's sledge but afterwards I felt a deep shame for doing so. Joe encouraged me to feel bad about myself.

I've seen photos of you Tony and you are no oil painting, let me tell you

  And as Brolly was issuing his 'apology' he could barely contain laughter.

The Tyrone lads at it again.
Disgraceful.

He only had to apologise because it's true. Had he made the comment about a good looking lad such as yourself it could have been laughed off as a bit of harmless sledging.

Don't worry Red Hander,you're probably not my type anyway.At my age I'm unconcerned about my looks,I'm just happy to be breathing!

Yea, like he only answered accurately to his superior.

Loose lips make great quips.

I enjoyed how Joe was literally rubbing his hands when he was telling his wonderfully crafted joke/sledge. He finds himself very funny indeed!

[AZOffaly]

If Joe was made of chocolate, he'd lick himself to death.

Hmmm... I wonder who James Horan had in mind specifically in this little piece...

Horan: less of the negativity, please

The former Mayo manager feels the reaction to alleged incidents of sledging during last Sunday week's Ulster senior and minor clashes between Donegal and Tyrone was way over the top, and is just another example of what he terms as "self-ruination".

"There always seems to be something eating away at us, be it burnout, managers getting paid, drug testing, blanket / ultra-defensive tactics, etc, etc. The column inches over the last week have been incredible," he writes in the Western People.

"Every sport in the world has its selling points, its supporters, its faults and its detractors. But football commentary has got so caught up in this race of thrashing everything about itself that the quality of the game has become irrelevant as the self-fulfilling prophecies become the important issue.

"Let's not go off the deep end yet again and think that sledging now is the new 'death of Gaelic football'. It's not – it's certainly not nice, but it's not that widespread in our game.

"The game is organically evolving. It's not perfect, but it's not bad; in fact it's good and getting better. Let it breathe and see how it plays out. I, for one, just cannot wait for this year's games. I want to see the game developing and unfolding, inspiring new methods and better techniques."

He's basically saying Tyrone and Donegal are out-liers, you know, Fear..
