Whatās his real beef with McNulty I wonder?
Iād say that book is carnage but his article is just more of a personal crusade again this week
And if McNulty has a pop back at him Joe will go running to his lawyers again.

What do you mean again?.
This bit reminded me of Kev.
As with all of these Pendulum types, it is full of boasting. āIāve worked with many household-name coaches at the highest levels of professional sport.ā Or, āSomehow, we still managed to put together a world-class event.ā
Then there is the name dropping. Brian OāDriscoll (who scored a hat-trick of tries against France when he was barely out of school) or PĆ”draic Moyles (who was the lead dancer in Riverdance for 10 years before meeting Enda, but went on to ādance better than heād ever danced beforeā), executives from Microsoft, Digicel, Big Pharma.

Brolly is not above hyperbole himself
The Derry man appeared today on RTĆ radio for another brilliant segment alongside recently-retired Limerick star John Galvin. In it, Brolly stated that players are continuing to come to him to ratify what he is saying about the excessive professional demands in the game and, whilst he stopped short of comparing himself to Russell Crowe in The Insider, he did say that he felt like a whistleblower in the tobacco industry.
Brolly is a bully. I have little time for McNulty but thatās 3 or 4 times Brolly has slaughtered him in the last few months. Yet when Tommy Conlon gave Joe a bit of his own medicine a.few weeks ago Joe took legal action. He was a windy blowhard when he was playing football and he is.still a windy blowhard.

Brolly is sneering and sniping at an array of people every week. Then someone sneers at him and he throws a hissy fit. No one believes Brolly is a Jihadi. But his continued belittling of McNulty is unseemly.
McNulty is a dishonest individual.
Tommy Conlon believes his is a jihadi an wrote so in the paper.
He wasnāt called a jihadi.
He was.
Some of his verbosity was compared to that of a jihadi as I took it and not overly seriously. I didnāt personally see a huge amount wrong with the article, bar Kevin lynch had no place in it. The fact is, nembo, had it been written about you by someone, youād have stayed true to form and blasted back, not gone scurrying under the coat tails of one of your legal pals. Thereās no question that heās right about enda mcnulty, but what was said about brolly was a grevious insult only because Joe decided to throw a snowflake. What Joe says about mcnulty over and over again undermines his livelihood. Whether or not that livelihood is righteous, well it obviously fills a gap for some people. I would say they are gullible and weak, but plenty bought indulgences in the past.
I like brolly a lot. I like what he has to say, but half his articles are made up or rehashed stories, and he has a vindictive and one way streak.

Well said Flatty. Pretty much exactly how I feel about the man. Clearly does a heap of good in the world just tends to act the bully at times in the media. Albeit I am certain he just thinks itās all a big laugh
Good stuff flatty. Thatās what i was trying to say
I think heās beginning to crawl up himself tbh, which is a shame. To mangle a phrase, I think he crossed the rubicon once to often, and is becoming the image.

Probably having a mid-life crisis.
Have to agree with this.
And this has led to peer scorn/questioning/ridicule. Brollys article was uploaded to a private FB group iām in that would have some of the leading Sports Psychs on these islands and further on it. There was some balance, some Brolly bashing but a pile of McNulty bashing.
Not sure how i feel, as its harsh on McNulty in ways, but when you put yourself out there and you block accounts etc you are opening up for criticism.
I am absolutely certain McNulty lost business yesterday on that page alone.
Surely well past mid-life. And has he not had that with the new missus?
