I got an idea, since nobody likes the Sunday game, how about sell all the rights to sky then, you won't be long missing it

Replying To icehonesty: " Replying To Pullhard1985: "like the championship structure The Sunday Game has just become stale and outdated
Brolly wont offer any analysis outside of the the narrative he is always plugging in is newspaper articles...
Lets go through his analysis on last nights games....
Mayo v Roscommon - Dublin are great, what would dublin do, Hennelly is a bottler, nothing on Roscommon or how they won the game
Tyrone v Antrim - Dublin are great, what would dublin do. Then he had the cheek to criticize Tyrone for throwing bodies forward and leaving themselves too open at the back, he has been slating them for years for not doing this the massive hypocrite
Donegal v Fermanagh - Dublin are great, what would dublin do. Fermanagh horrible to watch, no shit sherlock
Kildare v Longford - Dublin are great, what would dublin do. Zero analysis or insight on the game of the weekend
Wmeath v Laois - Dublin are great, what would dublin do. Zero analysis
I must say i did laugh out loud when he mentioned Stevie Poachers 'Triple blastoff transition' though
Would much prefer to see proper analysis and discussion like the one you get on the Joe.ie hour with Parkinson and Cian Ward, that is excellent" Love this! I gave up on Brolly two years ago when, as part of his analysis on Mayo's full back line, he pulled out clips from matches played 2 and 3 years previously. Ridiculous. It's amazing that RTE continue to give him the platform. Apart from his not allowing others to speak, and some of the deliberately hurtful things he says about people who can't defend themselves, his analysis just isn't very good."

Replying To thelongridge: "True. A big win for Kerry on Saturday, not even mentioned on the programme. It was the same on Sean O'Rourke this morning, not a word." This is what's going to happen to the lower tier if/when the 2 tier championship comes in. No coverage.
Brolly mentioned 'the Dubs' seven times during his 'analysis' of Mayo v Roscommon and was constantly interrupting & talking over Des Cahill & Ciaran Whelan. Whelan even told him to be quiet at one point. Dreadful stuff.

I really must get up to Belfast to see these kids in action some time because he makes it sound like they play the purest brand of total football in the land
tbh Brolly is just a wind-up merchant, i actually find him quite funny.
I have more of a problem with the casual gaa fan who takes his opinion as gospel, there are a few in my workplace who will parrot some clickbait nonsense they read from Spillane, Brolly or one of those other dinosaurs as if it accurately reflects the state of the game

The Joanne Cantwell experiment hasn't worked, if RTE have to go down the gender road Jacqui Hurley is a far better presenter. Anthony Daly seems to have taken over as a class clown and makes no insightful remarks. Brolly is Brolly, he'd be far better sticking to the writing where he is always excellent. The non stop agenda of burying weaker teams into a new tiered competition is getting v tiresome too. And all from players from counties who would never have to play in it, with the exception of Derry maybe

Replying To thelongridge: "True. A big win for Kerry on Saturday, not even mentioned on the programme. It was the same on Sean O'Rourke this morning, not a word." The decision makers in Dublin4 aren't their to promote hurling they are only interested in viewer numbers. Its the GAA HQ PRO that is charged with promoting hurling and football and as long as that is the case football will take preference even if the JMcD Cup is more entertaining than what was on show at the weekend. Well done to Kerry hurlers some character shown and they have blown the chase for second place (in the final) wide open. Good luck for the remainder of the season but hope we get to the final as we can play better than we showed in Portlaoise.

Then if they're not talking dublin, they're telling us how the "big" team were beaten by the "weaker" team, as "big" team played sooo bad.
Eg the rossies beat mayo. Nothing against either team and would love to see mayo win an all ireland. Last night however, there was very little about how da rossies actually went about beating mayo, game plan, team structure etc. It was all about how shocking mayo were, and where mayo go from here. How rossies management went about stifling mayo was an afterthought.
Cavan beat Monaghan last week. Again i like both sides yet the analysis was basically why Monaghan were finished. Very little about cavan and Mickey Grahams tactics on actually beating Monaghan.
The best game of last weekend, was longford v kildare. It got 4mins 58 s air time. This is why a second tiered championship will never work. It would be totally disregarded and disrespected by media and tv. It would never see the light of day on the box. Justask any of my mates who are mad into hurling in Westmeath or laois.

Even though we were well beat it was a serious game to be at. Some serious, fair, hits going in that defined the difference between a league game and a full-blooded championship encounter.
