He's a good story teller and a very entertaining analyst. I can see why he winds people up but that's sort of his thing.

If u think so but when he starts talking over the other analysts its fair annoying . Deserves a good punch

I was howling at the TV that Gooch was top scorer in the 05 and 08 finals, Tomas really should have known that from the last time Brolly decided the Gooch being a 'choker' was a good angle. Fairly obvious reply, instead Brolly was made look like he had an argument for a second

Gooch was a once in a lifetime genius footballer, everyone knows that and Brolly knows it, he's not thick

[legendkiller]

He reminded me of G Norton character in Father Ted talking jiberish and leaving no one else speak

When did he say that?

Davy Fitz gets eight weeks.

Davy Fitz gets eight weeks.

Ridiculous decision in my opinion.

Don't get me wrong, he shouldn't have done what he did. You'd expect someone who's been around as long as he has to know better.

But punishing him with an 8 week ban is way too excessive

Anyone watching the league final today?

[Billy The Kid]

Anyone watching the hurling today?

Anyone?

Half time scores in the Leinster SFC:

Louth 1-11 Wicklow 1-7
Laois 2-10 Longford 0-7
Carlow 0-8 Wexford 0-7

Connacht SFC result:

Mayo 2-14 Sligo 0-11

Didn't see that cork result. They were 3/1 with the bookies. Great fucking game mind

Second half.  Rebels.

Second half.  Rebels.

Great win, to be honest I never ever seen that coming.

[Billy The Kid]

Hopefully we can build on that result. Nice to see a big Cork turn out today. Much more people than I expected. Considering it was a first round game and we were going in as outside underdogs, it was a pretty good turn out to be fair. Looking forward to the Waterford game now.

[Dougle]

Cork City, Munster, Cork Hurlers and Liverpool ... doesn't happen too often nut what a great day (and weekend).

[KERRYKOP]

Embaressing watching the reaction of Cork players and supporters after the game. A pitch invasion and tears of joy,  like one of Ireland's minnows on the very rare occasion they they topple a giant. Cork hurling really is in the doldrums.

C'mon man, these are Cork people you're dealing with, not AWWYC or didi. You need better bait than that.

[Sarge]

So Ulster football never fails to deliver, Tyrone v Derry was gash. Fancy Galway to beat us handy enough here but what the hell, C'mon Dublin.

[Sarge]

Dublin Hurling in trouble looking at that, surely we aint that bad, Galway very very good but Dublin GAA Official need a rethink going forward. Lads on RTE Panel telling us what the problems are without actually saying it, players not on panel that should be why are they not? Word is Cunningham is very unpopular in the dressing room and many want him gone.

[KERRYKOP]

Surely the most noteworthy performance of the weekend was by the Cork footballers who only managed to scrape a 1 point win against arguably the worst team in championship football. Shocking stuff really, almost one of the greatest upsets in recent memory if not the greatest.

Not bad. A slight improvement on your last attempt

Cork footballers clearly don't have access to the performance enhancing drugs that the Kerry lads have.

Hah

Shur Mick O Connall was on the same stuff back in the day. Rowing a boat from Valentia to training in Killarney a dead give away.

[Sarge]

Expecting a right handy run out v Carlow for us tonight, think Limerick will do Clare tomorrow but should be a belter.

Leinster SFC quarter-final

Carlow 0-7 Dublin 0-19 - FT

Blanket defence has to score too they should remember.

How many months will Connolly get ?

How many months will Connolly get ?

He's a dub, so not too many I'd imagine.

What did he do now?

[Dougle]

After a slow start the Down-Armagh match burst into classic northern GAA life in another marvellous exhibition of brainlessness, brawling, blanket defence, topped off with a 20 man scuffle to give us 10 minutes of injury time in the second. Somebody won, who cares.

It's insulting to the game that regularly he gets included as a player to aspire to

 Brollyesqe stuff from you there KK.

 Not taking the bait though😄

[Billy The Kid]

The way its being portrayed in print media you'd swear he shoved him Paolo Di Canio style and put him on his arse

Having watched it, it's all much a do about nothing really, isn't it?

Still, the rule is there for good reason and he undoubtedly broke it.

He'll be banned for sure.

I agree, it's so minimal. I was actually really disappointed when I eventually saw it! Still, it would set a precedent if they didn't ban him. The bollocks. 

Some good games over the weekend looking back, Down v Armagh and Meath v Louth were very competitive with a lot of quality.

Clare v Limerick on the other hand despite the high score was a bit of a bore, far too nice a match between those two.

[Sarge]

How many months will Connolly get ?

3 at a guess.

Bollox talk.

It was a dreadful game.

[Billy The Kid]

If it was up to me, I'd give Connolly a 15 week ban

12 for touching the linesman, 2 for having an unmercifully slappable face, and one for just being a bit of a bollox in general

[my usenme changed?]

Bollox talk.

Why?
