Is it real or photoshopped?

Joe making it about Joe.

This time last year he was going to stop Covid on his own, travelling the country and collecting PPE. All very admirable when it was needed but he soon got bored and has hardly mentioned Covid since and then focused his attention to removing Donald Trump from office.

Honestly id say he is on verge of breakdown there few times, not happy to say that at all, such a smart man, but he has become more and more erratic and egotistical that you'd be worried for him at times. He would have been a hard man to live with.

Massive to give his kidney away, id love to see a personality expert look at him, you would nearly say he has narcissistic tendencies but the kidney thing flies in the face of that a bit.

I think overall Joe is a great guy with a great heart, but with all sorts of internal contradictions and difficulties

He wouldn't be what he is without that internal turmoil

And I don't criticise him one bit for having any of it

He's very deep and yet very shallow

He has the ability to give profound insight and yet talk total nonsense

It's a contradiction, and yet it's not - that's the human condition in its full flowering

When he's no longer here, people will say his was a life that was very much lived

True. A very complex individual who I couldn't possible label.

And often heard him say that much himself.

Mission accomplished for Joe then. He has managed to put himself on the front page of a daily newspaper. The opening debate in Ireland around a UI and yet the biggest story that comes out of it is about Joe Brolly and his grudge with RTE. I'm not being wise after the event but I had predicted that something like this would happen only I thought it would be Joe getting into a sledging match with Paisley that would create headlines. At least both he and Mickey Harte have a common enemy now.

So no chance of Colm Cavanagh making a comeback. That's the big front page news.

Was there anything he said about the DUP which wasn't actually truth which anybody in the North knows but a wee bit to sensitive to anybody down south. With the north its out of sight, out of mind with rte Broadcasters

Everybody in the south knows exactly what the the DUP are

The most interesting thing Joe Brolly said the other night was that a united Ireland didn't matter

So it appears he's not a nationalist

Joe could have changed his mind before he got half way home.

Some uncomfortable truths for some free staters there who feel they have a right to pontificate and moralise on the north. Before they do that maybe some acknowledgement and contrition for the contempt they have show northern natioanlists over the past 50 years might be in order.
