Iâd personally agree with a lot of what Brolly says regarding the GAA becoming elitist, the influence of the GPA, spoofers like McNulty and other hangers on making a killing, club players being forgotten about etc.
But I think he has a neck to call out another pundit when he himself can dish out as much vitriol as anyone when the mood takes him.
Joe can dish it out but doesnât like it being returned to him. He got an apology recently in the Indo for something that was said about him that he didnât like. He has a thick skin when it suits him.
Spillane is a bit of a fool too. Every bit as much of an attention seeker but lacks the wit and articulation of Brolly. Spillane and Whelan, in particular, are so biased towards their own it is laughable.
Brolly is everything the Eire establishment despise. An erudite educated northern nationalist who reminds them by his very existence of their failings towards his kin.
Some difference in the byline picture for Tommyâs articles in The Times (Ireland edition) compared to the Sindo. The latter must be about 15 years and 5 stone ago.
