Spillane is a lot worse for repeating the same old comments such as at the end of the day, the team with the highest score wins the match and whenever he mentions Sunni and Shia Muslims

Nope if you say "bias" your finished Carney was crying on Mayo radio for gods sake after they lost and I've no problem with Carney on Rte. clondalkindub (Dublin) - Posts: 9926 - 11/09/2019 16:16:32 2234486 Link 10 |
Watch analysis on sky then, you won't get what you're looking for on RTE with or without brolly

I think Joe Brolly is a top commentator. Ashrules (Dublin) - Posts: 518 - 11/09/2019 16:26:16 2234492 Link 0 |
I genuinely believe what most people didn't like about Brolly was that he was a non Dub, who eulogised about the Dubs Liamwalkinstown (Dublin) - Posts: 8166 - 11/09/2019 16:36:15 2234497 Link 1 |
Yeah I agree, Whelo is a top pundit and one of my favourites.

If kerry had won last week brolly would have been a cheerleader for them while calling the dubs bottlers for not doing 5 in a row, he is all over winning teams and treats the previous champions like they have been sh!t all along..its just so long since any1 else has won the all ireland that people forget how he operates

Not sure if he will be dropped indefinitely but if Joe does return, he needs to allow other people finish their point of view regardless of whether he agrees or not. RTE don't really do analysis during the live games, considering the programme starts 60 minutes before throw in, there is very little factual analysis done before or during the match compared to sky. As a rule I don't think rte should have pundits from competing counties on the panel especially on all Ireland final day, if they can't put their county colours aside. Having said that, there doesn't seem to be bias on sky coverage even though Senan and Kieran are pundits. wicklowsupport (Wicklow) - Posts: 1890 - 11/09/2019 17:04:44 2234506 Link 0 |
Fair play to RTE. His Sindo column last week was cringe. 'I contacted Joe my friend', totally unprofessional for a live Sunday Game pannelist to be having the ear of the ref and getting him to go over his decisions in a match. That column finished him. It was his Maria Bailey interview moment. 'My friend Pat (Spillane)' and all the name dropping. BliainanÁir (Laois) - Posts: 598 - 11/09/2019 17:15:21 2234509 Link 2 |
Ger Loughnane was never biased when Clare were playing. The opposite actually. Donal Og the same. Brendan Cummins is excellent and in no way biased. Theres 3. More are biased, I would give you that. Brolly had to go. He was overly aggressive and rude . bloodyban (Limerick) - Posts: 1710 - 11/09/2019 17:25:51 2234511 Link 1 |
Don't know what Whelan was giving out about until I realized the Dublin players are not usually put off, himself included. John Brannon must have been afraid of him.

Totally agree, and if blatant bias is sufficient for discontinuation of services, perhaps they should have a look at some of the hurling panelists, particularly certain former kings.

Love him or hate him it's going to be a lot less entertaining without Joe. clondalkindub (Dublin) - Posts: 9926 - 11/09/2019 20:35:16 2234565 Link 5 |
Freedom of speech the world over was brought into question when political correctness was brought into play, it may even have had an impact on Joe Brolly's exit. supersub15 (Carlow) - Posts: 2904 - 11/09/2019 20:48:55 2234570 Link 0 |
Joe all day long. We need emotion, we need arguments, we need controversy. It's good viewing and let's face it, RTE need the advertisement cash. I just don't see Rochford having a shouting match with Spillane and I certainly don't see him getting emotional over an Tyrone player's rugby tackle. Give it a year and everyone, RTE included, will be calling for his return. Name your price Joe! Joxer (Dublin) - Posts: 4698 - 11/09/2019 20:52:54 2234571 Link 7 |
Without trying to be sexist I think Joe is a man's GAA man and likes to get earthy and baseline in his talk and discussions on the Sunday Game. It went well when Michael Lyster was in the chair but in my opinion, the appointment of Joanne Cantwell has a touch of political correctness about it and Joe didn't seem comfortable with the way the programme was going. There seemed to be a policy of 'Get Brolly' within the new Sunday Game. Brolly is a weather vane, he goes whatever way the wind blows and he was far too personal with his criticism of players BUT there's no doubt he was entertaining Ulsterman (Antrim) - Posts: 9688 - 11/09/2019 21:06:44 2234575 Link 2 |
Where's the agenda thread gone? realdub (Dublin) - Posts: 8571 - 11/09/2019 21:49:29 2234587 Link 7 |
Is it good viewing? I certainly don't think it is. It's getting really really old at this stage and the SKY coverage is making absolute fools of them. The place for emotion and heated discussion / arguments is the pub after the game or on message boards like this. I have zero interest in watching Brolly, Spillane and the others bickering over their opinions. The H/T analysis of the final was a new low and they had to do something.
