The Joe Brolly tells porkies thread

He should have used his steps and he’d have been fouled

He instinctively wanted rid of the ball

I think of the Meath team of Colm O’Rourke, all loyalty and stubbornness and refusal to accept defeat, winning All-Irelands against better teams on paper.

More nonsense from Brolly. That Meath team never won an All-Ireland against “a better team on paper”. They did lose two to teams who looked worse on paper however.

It looked like that alright.

McNamee had him beaten all ends up

If McNamee doesn’t get an all star this year then it’s a travesty.

That’s not true.

Running on an anti Mayo platform could get him elected

Joe will make a great President

I was just talking about Joe Brolley’s politics at the weekend. The family are all Aontu now but presumably he’s a Liberal. Or at least he’s pro-divorce anyway. He would hardly be SF. I thought he’d probably be SDLP but my mates thought not a chance. Who would he run for?

[anon76546466]

Independent

[Fulvio_From_Aughnacloy]

The parents only left SF due to the divorce stance.

He’s too much of a republican to be a Stoop. I’d say most likely scenario would be SF would endorse him to run as an independent.

[glenshane]

I think he’d run for sf and make a fine job of articulating how a non violent outlook fits within the party. I don’t know why he’d bother tbh. He’s far to clever and independently.minded for party politics, but I think he might be able to steer his own course offending everyone and no-one.
He should just go for president and be done with it, there’s probably a strong argument for making it mandatory for the president to be a derry man anyway.

But I don’t think he should bother himself. The country is run by the sort of banal halfwits that couldn’t handle him at rte. They’d do their level best to destroy him and probably succeed. He’d rub their noses in it for a while first though

Can’t see Joe accepting the Stalinesque control that SF demands which is also why I can’t see them endorsing him as an independent. And I’d agree that he’d be a very unlikely stoop.

Being a Derry man should mean an automatic disqualification in a Presidential campaign. I would make an exception for Joe though.

[Ralphie]

Would Joe have any skeletons in the cupboard that the free state media would only be happy to report on?

You mean because we have unfair advantages?

[glenshane]

Shur who doesn’t? Mdh has a clatter of them but he’s part of the establishment and gets a free pass. Joe won’t play their game though

@glenshane

No. Because, Joe excepted, every time a Derry person leaves Derry, the average IQ of their destination falls by several points. And you know this to be true. FACT!
