All things run their course. Just need to get rid of Spillane now as he is as controversial a figure! Offside_Rule (Antrim) - Posts: 4058 - 11/09/2019 09:36:28 2234307 Link 1 |

Proper order. The resident Dublin cheerleader has been removed from RTE.

Personally I think he is a legend. Does everyone think he is a legend?

Harsh on Whelan for me he's one of the best panelists Rte have ok he got it badly wrong the last day but other than that he's very good imo. clondalkindub (Dublin) - Posts: 9926 - 11/09/2019 10:53:55 2234345 Link 7 |
Yep, he's definitely a legend. Any chance Spillane would do a disappearing act as well. I suppose not, RTE cannot be see to progressive. catch22 (USA) - Posts: 2148 - 11/09/2019 11:04:54 2234349 Link 1 |

What Brolly failed to realise is that the players are Box Office, that was never his job. FootblockREF (Monaghan) - Posts: 563 - 11/09/2019 11:52:33 2234360 Link 0 |
Other panelists will get an opportunity to talk now without being constantly interrupted by "Hold on, hold on until I tell you what so and so (name drop) said to me". It will make Joanne's job a little easier as the panel was becoming the 'Joe show'. Tends to rehash his thoughts of the week from his Sindo article on TSG anyway so we will still know his point of view. Admire his work highlighting organ donation but it's probably time for panelists who will analyze the game in progress.

I would be really interested in getting a FOI from RTE to see whether the GAA had any contact or request with RTE in relation to this. Joe Brolly is a questioning voice that is needed within the GAA which has become more autocratic over the years. Similarly Colm O Rourke who has asked tough questions & highlighted certain issues within both the GAA & GPA & being castigated for same. We need these voices heard as it has now reached all levels within the GAA that if you put your head above the parapet to question the group think, you are a radical. Many of the issues Joe & Colm raise are very valid & serious. Major financial irregularities last year in Galway which were sent to Croke Park, yet the details were never publicly published or whether anyone was prosecuted or punished in any way. Everybody is afraid to ask the hard questions. Are Joe & Colm infallible, no. Do they make cock ups in analysis, yes. Interesting that RTE drop Joe but leave Ciaran Whelan & Pat Spillane. moc.dna (Galway) - Posts: 1212 - 11/09/2019 12:08:41 2234368 Link 0 |
Hopefully this is true. He only seemed to be on there to stoke controversy and wind people up. He offers nothing in terms of analysis at all. Maybe some people like that kind of thing but it's not for me personally. Hopefully he takes Spillane and Dolan with him. GeniusGerry (Kerry) - Posts: 2105 - 11/09/2019 12:09:38 2234369 Link 7 |
Brolly isnt gone, guaranteed he will be there next year. woops (Kerry) - Posts: 2073 - 11/09/2019 12:15:21 2234376 Link 0 |
He admitted he is biased. He is finished. Or at least he should be if RTE Sport have any integrity.

Sky Sports - Lyster and Brolly GAA show? RTE would be nervous at that thought. sam1884 (UK) - Posts: 999 - 11/09/2019 12:47:21 2234384 Link 0 |
