Joe Brolly

Did any of this friends/ former footballers visit him after his accident or years since out of interest?

[Kickham csc]

Yep, but I also know a group of his friends were warned not to visit for a lengthy after the attack time due to security reasons, and due to his condition the instructions from his family was that they were limiting the amount of people visiting him, and that was the position for a number of years. (the amount of operations he went through was shocking)

A lot of friends that Peadar had at the club who were supportive of him have moved (US, UK, Republic and tryone ) so I wouldn't know who many still keep in touch, and that is something that I'd hold my hands up to say should have been done better.

Brolly? Was his parents not members of a party that approved of the actual killing of Northern Police Officers not all that long ago?

I saw a quote on Twitter somewhere:

U know, if Martin McGuinness had sanctioned the maiming of Peadar Heffron, it wouldn't have been so bad. But Martin hadn't, so it was wrong.

Who quoted that SE??

Tommy Conlon a blushirter par excellence hardly a trustworthy source

He had enough apologising to do to Brolly in the past

[Orchard park]

Which he normally has to apologise for when threatened with law

Bit of a stretch there T. Can't recall ever hearing Sinn Fein approve of a Police Officer's killing...... FYI when making a bold statement like the above ''Was his'' should be replaced by '' Were his''.

Not so sure about that one. For example, on his willingness to kill RUC or UDR men, Gerry Adams said "If my role lay within the IRA and within an armed struggle, I would have no compunction at all." Back in 1983 apparently.
