Im usually on Team Brolly but Spillane did nothing wrong on the Sunday game. What Connolly did deserved a 12 week ban. End of. The CCCC can't unsee what Connolly did. The only thing is that it got more attention than other incidents and other times when players layed a hand on an official. HurlingSnob (Dublin) - Posts: 220 - 29/06/2017 02:02:57 2007223 Link 3 |
Brolly is a great writer and usually id be on his side over spillane. carlovia (None) - Posts: 1517 - 29/06/2017 07:01:46 2007231 Link 1 |
What exactly did Spillane do wrong.He just highlighted that Diarmuid Connolly misbehaved.It's what pundits are supposed to do. uibhfhaili1986 (Offaly) - Posts: 1296 - 29/06/2017 07:49:53 2007235 Link 1 |
I'm no lover of either of them in general. Whammo86 (Antrim) - Posts: 4201 - 29/06/2017 08:43:40 2007251 Link 2 |
Usually not a Fan of Spillane but in this instance he was only doing his Job and giving his opinion. InishowenMan (Donegal) - Posts: 216 - 29/06/2017 09:06:05 2007264 Link 2 |
I am with Brolly on this one, Spillane revealed his obvious Anti-Dublin bias which is widely held reflected right across the country - take any juvenile team down the country and people will know what i am talking about. Brolly was right to address the "real" issues, the ref's report etc which revealed the serious flaws in this shambolic disciplinary system, he has always maintained just because there is a rule doesn't mean it is right and just because there are sanctions do not make them right - how else are they to be changed? Brolly has consistently exposed the unnatural justice at the heart of the GAA rules and disciplinary processes. He is articulate, coherent and makes his points and is prepared to back them up and his attack on Spillane needs to be examined in that light. Spillane was rightly called out for what he said. Brolly and Dolan did what Gavin did separate three things, one accept Connolly was wrong, the officials where totally wrong, the disciplinary system is wrong, three wrongs never make anything right. Spillane addressed one of these issues and in my view is wrong because of this. arock (Dublin) - Posts: 4895 - 29/06/2017 09:12:30 2007265 Link 1 |
Team Brolly, Spillane was wrong. Cuckoosinging (Roscommon) - Posts: 992 - 29/06/2017 09:19:53 2007270 Link 2 |
The whole thing is a farce at this stage. Lockjaw (Donegal) - Posts: 9108 - 29/06/2017 09:27:39 2007277 Link 2 |
Wouldn't have time for either however Spillane did nothing wrong. Just commented on the incident, didn't go over the top. It will be interesting the next time both Spillane and Brolly are in the studio together. Bit of tension I would say. The_Fridge (Tyrone) - Posts: 2088 - 29/06/2017 09:32:07 2007278 Link 1 |
Eh Yeah... it got more attention from Spillane

I notice Dessie Dolan is getting a free ride and he actually initiated it. Odd. Breffni40 (Cavan) - Posts: 12115 - 29/06/2017 10:08:41 2007296 Link 2 |
Personally i think the spirit of sportsmanship is in question, if a pundit predetermines an agenda to influence sporting outcomes thats wrong. TheUsername (Dublin) - Posts: 4445 - 29/06/2017 10:31:15 2007313 Link 0 |
Absolutely with Spillane on this one. Brolly's carry on on telly Sunday was not on. And Dolan just agreed with everything he said. Why wasn't Joe jumping all over Sky? They showed the game live and highlighted the incident afterwards multiple times. But he never mentioned them. Spillane did precisely zero wrong. kildare73 (Kildare) - Posts: 854 - 29/06/2017 10:39:50 2007321 Link 2 |
Bizarrely my previous post was blocked so I'll keep it even shorter this time = it's for ratings folks, it's all ratings, nothing more. Htaem (Meath) - Posts: 8657 - 29/06/2017 10:54:30 2007335 Link 1 |
People are generally on whatever team they think they agree with or is backing their team. I seen people go mental at Brolly/Spillane but when they are praising their own team its "ah they are not bad" - sports fans are fickle. We all are. yew_tree (Mayo) - Posts: 11227 - 29/06/2017 11:05:14 2007344 Link 3 |
Spillane is right, Brolly just saw a chance to kick at Pat. (Brolly also said Cooper needed the players around him to be a great player but is Connolly not in similar situation? Remember St. Vincent's semi-final defeat.) suckvalleypaddy (Galway) - Posts: 1667 - 29/06/2017 11:47:18 2007365 Link 2 |
It was possibly the first interesting thing Dessie has said as a pundit!
