Joe Brolly

[imtommygunn]

He really is very bitter about Micky Moran.

What is his problem with him?

Maybe because he, unlike Joe, doesn't seek the limelight and doesn't do interviews etc. Oh, and successful.

Yeah, that's exactly the reason Marty, to the top of the class with you! 

genuinely what is it then? I don't know. Had he something to do with Coleman's downfall or something like that?

In fairness, only a muppet would take conclusion from the interview and the treatment of Eamon from the suits and Micky Moran.
Imagine Harte rubbed the CB up the wrong way and in 2004 after the Mayo loss, they ousted him along with a keen manager ready to take on the reigns of their golden generation? The bond Harte had with those players gone by a daft CB decision and the wheels come off. Things could have been a whole lot different.

Wow, explosive stuff, Moran comes out of that really badly. Always thought he had a real sneaky look about him.

I didn't say that . . . I actually disagree with Brolly on quite a lot of what he said.

Ultimately the players are why you fail on the pitch and while I don't think Moran covered himself in glory during the whole saga the players need to accept their part in underachieving throughout the 90s. They're the main constant of the decade so it's a bit rich to blame it on the disaster from 94-95!!

I find it funny that, whenever something big happens, Joe is always sitting directly beside the person that's involved...lol.

Funny indeed.

Caution needed here as it wouldn't be the first time that Brolly told a tall tale.

What is shocking about that interview is the biggest fake news in the history of the GAA. Pure balder dash that is being pedalled as fact or that that Derry team were destined for 2 or 3 sam maguires. 1/ the county didn't and would never have had the togetherness to hold it together for more than a few months ever without killing one another.. rows were always bubbling - it's just how much weight you put on each one.  2/ from the time there were tales of mad fighting among players as well for all sorts of reasons- easy to blame Mickey Moran for that auld caper perhaps Joe?
That Derry team had  2 great corner backs/ a brilliant 6 a super
Midfield - well tohill had a shocker In the game that lost their title and 2 scoring forwards Brolly And Gormley. Nothing exceptional  about the group but the achievement in winning 1 all Ireland was a great feat for them. It will probably  never happen again for them instead of looking back derry football now needs to look forward..... to the 50 year anniversary. 
3/ Another point I would make is that the hateful blaming  of Moran dosent take away from the fact that against down as holders having the game of his life and a bit of rough moves on to him he stopped playing.. and This great Derry team lost. They were very easy to figure out... This was a great Derry team but down were better and won 2 and no doubt had plenty of tensions to manage also, but compared to the quality of Armagh and Tyrone in the noughties they were not a great team. To sum it up they were a great league team who got it together to win a championship but Coleman or no Coleman row they would not have won any more. That is fact.
4/ a final pick up from the interview is that joe had broken his arm in 1995. He was one of the 2 scoring forwards they had so it's not mickeys fault he had a broken arm. Yet Mickey gets the blame. Jody Gormley marked tohill out of it in 95. That was 2 years in a row that he had a poor day out at his peak. Jody Gormley should not have been for to lace tohills boots... why? Happened again too.
5/ the 90s was an unforgettable glorious era for Ulster football and both Donegal and Derry had their year out of it, but down won 2. They were the best team from Ulster during this period. Ulster team of the decade in my eyes. If joe thinks a One time team like Derry were great then he must have some-admiration for Mickey Harte's Tyrone team of the noughties.....
