Joe Brolly

[ashman]

The transplant surgeon Dave Hickey told me he'd watched it from a packed bar in Kerry and when I finished there was a spontaneous ovation

Dear o dear.

If a builders  labourer told Joe the same story .......

I normally like Joe's articles but this is straight out of the Dubs pre match preparation by planting seeds in officials heads prior to us thumping them in c'ship.

No matter what you do Joe it wont change the outcome.

I genuinely believe that we will beat them easy enough even with a player or 2 lined

[Fuzzman]

Wouldn't it be great if in the last few minutes there was another incident where Sean Cavanagh dragged a player down just for the craic and then blew a few kisses to the crowd.

As usual though Joe makes lots of good points that are correct with the modern game but he never ceases to amaze me what length he will go to to have a bash at Tyrone.

It will be interesting to see some Sunday with Spillane, Gooch and Joe on the panel. Would be nice for the Derry v Tyrone game.

The only downside of that would be

a. it would mean the game is close
b. it would feed JB more publicity to bash us

Youse are getting turned over at CP.

Brannigan and Fuzzy logic hear should be on the Brolly PR payroll. You keep us all well informed of all things Brollyesque

Course we are

The 1/4 is a very good price for us.
CP hasnt been a fortress in years. If it was in Omagh we would be 1/6 minimum

Last year yous were telling us yous were the only team that could beat Dublin. Hows that going for yous?

[Seany]

I see some of you trying to apply basic logic to this article, as if he has decided he needs to start discrediting Tyrone or Dublin to give his own county a chance.  This is a county for which he inserted a death notice last year when they were beaten in the championship.  Believe me, no-one in Derry would thank him for his help.  He is not trying to create a positive climate for Derry; it is the least of his priorities.  For this person, his only priority is HIM!!!  At ALL times.  Even with his acts of giving. It's always about him.

Ouch!

Haven't you heard Barton has the squad flying in training, the boys don't need Joe's help

Such cynicism...

If the game was fixed for Omagh it likely wouldn't be played it's a shithole!!

The same old targets again this week........

I happened to catch his bit on Rte radio that he refers to in the article. He managed to shoehorn every story that is in the article on to the radio. Even when the question posed bore no relation to the story he was telling.  Hickey, Meath, Marsden, Down.. the lot, all were mentioned. Once he gets a story in his head, he must repeat it over and over again.

Most likely a shower beforehand would have the game called off.

Seany, I certainly didn't mean that he's trying to discredit Tyrone to give Derry a chance. Derry at home to Tyrone always have a chance as they've shown before over the years.

No, what I'm saying is that I've heard and seen Brolly lots of times at different functions and he never lets an opportunity go without bad mouthing Tyrone. He often plays to his audience to flatter them and make them laugh but it nearly always comes back to bad mouthing Tyrone. This is a Tyrone team that has not been at the top table for 8 or 9 years now. He's like a dog with a bone and the last number of months he's attacked Harte and his style of play at numerous times yet you never hear him talk about Monaghan or Donegal that much.

Everybody else was saying how they thought Tyrone would be the team that could give the Dubs the most problems but most Tyrone posters were under no illusions we've not beaten a top 3 or 4 team since 2008.
Winning Ulster was a massive challenge last year and it will probably be tougher this year, yet Joe is doing all he can to paint Tyrone as the causes of everything bad in GAA.

I think it's actually hilarious that he picked Armagh and Meath as two teams who have fell victim to Tyrone the most that he had to pick out examples of why they won't be sending us Christmas cards.
They are probably the two teams that have "roughened up" others the most over the years (sorry Joe would say wore teams down). I'd say Marsden is cringing reading that and no doubt will be another Armagh wanting to have a pop at Joe.

I just get the feeling Joe likes to add on a lot to a story to get the desired affect. I wonder how many times now he's used Dr Hickey now to try to get some weight in behind his crazy stories. I'd say Joe is looking forward to the summer where he can hit the headlines again with more controversy and stories about who he met and where.
