Joe Brolly

[NAG1]

I still can't understand the stuff with RTE. How does he think that his personal attacks on Sean Cavanagh, Grimley or David Gough are acceptable? How does such an intelligent guy still not get this?

I generally think he thinks most of his arguments out, but the RTE stuff seems to be when he is tackling a bottle of red wine.

[yellowcard]

He is a complete paradox. One minute charming, thoughtful and articulate. The next minute nasty, vindictive and downright insulting. He even managed to insult Richard Ford, a Pulitzer prize winning author, on one of his Podcasts I listened to recently. Ford sounded perplexed by his line of questioning, it actually was a bit embarrassing only that you actually couldn't embarrass Joe. No doubt he is a very clever guy, a great speaker and can be funny and generous but I think he is a bit of a narcissist also and he has definitely got worse in recent years. The RTE stuff took him out of the public eye and that must have hurt him a lot and he does love settling old scores with his tongue.

Politics would not be ready for Joe Brolly although I'd love to hear Nolan try and interview him, I might even tune back into the Nolan show for that.

He has been on Nolan. It's the only one I ever watched. It was kidney stuff though round some fleg protest time and was filled with some very angry people. Bryson was on it but this was way before he became a thing - tbh part of why he became a thing.

He doesn't get a pass from me for representing a certain Individual, that were any opinion changed of him. Forget anything from a football basis

[Milltown Row2]

Yet you lot still give him a platform or talk about him or listen to his podcasts

You are talking about him on his own thread here. So yeah, you. Would you care to find out how many posts you've mentioned him?

Any publicity is good publicity, as they say

Add Marty Morrissey to that list.  There's the good side to Joe, which is the generosity of time he gives to clubs for fundraisers etc. but there's the other side that comes out more in the media.
