Replying To Mayonman: "He's a broken record to be fair. That's why RTE got rid of him. Not sayin he didn't have a point about the state of the game but at some stage u have to move on. Lots of his analysis was generic and lazy. Even the guff about Lee Keegan tweeting an apology about man of the match ....... everyone knows Keegans tongue was firmly in his cheek. Brolly knows this too but choose to ignore it for his own agenda." His only compass is the number of clicks he gets. His attacks on your fellas was embarrassing as was his fawning over our ones. Of course, he turned on them just as quickly. Anyway, he seems to have decided he is now some sort of leftie influencer so leave him at it. Shinners won't touch him with a barge pole because his family turned on them, so he's barking up the wrong tree :-) Again .... BarneyGrant (Dublin) - Posts: 3444 - 02/05/2023 13:17:38 2475029 Link
Brolly trying to stay relevant. His comments are too personal. His comments on Sean Cavanagh the time v Monaghan were ort and stated that Cavanagh was nt a man. Terrible punditry and nasty. His comments on Marty Morrissey Were a disgrace and now stupid comments about Lee Keegan.. Brolly is a has been and should be ignored!

Awful pity that Clones was waterlogged in '93 for the Ulster final, that match should never have been played, if it was played on a normal day Donegal would have beaten them and we would never have had to endure Brolly's oul waffle all these years.

I agree that brolly is often nasty but his comments about Cavanagh were spot on. Galway9801 (Galway) - Posts: 1942 - 03/05/2023 14:44:53 2475432 Link
Replying To Galway9801: "I agree that brolly is often nasty but his comments about Cavanagh were spot on." How so, Cavanagh was a gent on and off the field and one of the best midfielders about. Hard to listen to on Sunday Game, yes but an all time great. There wouldn't be a player in Ireland who wouldn't do what he done and I'd hope any player in the same position to do likewise.

Replying To Galway9801: "I agree that brolly is often nasty but his comments about Cavanagh were spot on." they were way over the top. he committed a cynical, non dangerous foul. all the stuff about not being a man was just rubbish. just over the top rubbish to make himself the centre of attention Mayonman (Galway) - Posts: 1918 - 04/05/2023 11:11:51 2475607 Link

Hated losing, you'd want any player in your team to do the same. Brolly made a good point about the spirit of the game etc but overdid the pious song and dance act. I wish some of our own inexperienced defenders would do the same rather than watching opponents ambling goalwards unhindered. GreenandRed (Mayo) - Posts: 7916 - 04/05/2023 11:31:14 2475618 Link

Did it myself the same year in a championship quarter final to prevent a probable goal and we won the match. Got a yellow, we won the match. The reaction from Brolly and others was hilarious and he started banging on about kids and it being taught at under age level which was nonsense of course.

Replying To Galway9801: "Cheating is wrong." He committed a clear foul that was a yellow card offence at the time. That isn't cheating. TheFlaker (Mayo) - Posts: 8354 - 04/05/2023 12:29:20 2475641 Link
Replying To Galway9801: "I'd hope they wouldn't. Cheating is wrong." By your going all fouls are a form of cheating. Biggest cheats are the free takers who steal yards when taking frees. Now that's cheating. Saynothing (Tyrone) - Posts: 2284 - 04/05/2023 14:06:49 2475674 Link
Replying To TheFlaker: "He committed a clear foul that was a yellow card offence at the time. That isn't cheating." Feigning injury in order to attempt to get an opponent, and fellow inter county player wrongly sent off is a yellow or black card (depending on the ref) offence if caught. Does that justify attempting it? Not in my opinion. Galway9801 (Galway) - Posts: 1942 - 04/05/2023 14:33:23 2475690 Link
Replying To Galway9801: "Cheating is wrong." Where would you class standing offside in rugby to gain advantage, inviting contact in basketball to win free throws? GreenandRed (Mayo) - Posts: 7916 - 04/05/2023 14:33:41 2475691 Link

That's not what is been discussed you are saying deliberately fouling an opponent which happens numerous times in every game is cheating I don't think it is or diving or feigning injury is either might be against spirit of game but cheating is unfair Brolly is a bitter man and Sunday game is better off without him Spillane and orourke jm25 (Galway) - Posts: 1457 - 04/05/2023 15:07:01 2475706 Link
RTÉ showing four hours of the coronation on Saturday. Would have been tough call if it had clashed with women's rugby wooden spoon game. Life's not easy in Deefur... BarneyGrant (Dublin) - Posts: 3444 - 04/05/2023 15:15:43 2475711 Link
Replying To GreenandRed: "Where would you class standing offside in rugby to gain advantage, inviting contact in basketball to win free throws?" Cheating too, not to be defended, or condoned, or qualified. Galway9801 (Galway) - Posts: 1942 - 04/05/2023 15:37:28 2475719 Link

You are not even up to speed on the incident we are talking about that led Brolly to his big dramatic act. TheFlaker (Mayo) - Posts: 8354 - 04/05/2023 15:40:56 2475720 Link
Replying To galwayford: "RTE will be looking for a licence fee increase. I hope GAA fans remember the fairly poor RTE coverage when this happens. Compare their treatment of the wooden spoon Irish ladies rugby team- who got loads and loads." So they should only show women's rugby if they are doing well? I would be interested to know which part of it upset you the most? zinny (Wexford) - Posts: 1941 - 04/05/2023 15:55:22 2475726 Link
I see the new Limerick rugby experience/ museum has a map of the world showing Ireland as 26 counties, so much for rugby beings 32 county sport. tireoghainabu (Tyrone) - Posts: 390 - 04/05/2023 16:03:30 2475731 Link
