  • I’m from Tyrone, but the fact that wasn’t a red card is a disgrace
  • @f1fan823
    This trio will be no more sadly. Best pundits on tv

    brolly: 5 star man. is he too honest for some?
  • @foysbar3181
    Brolly is spot on disgrace what Tyrone did
  • @MikeyJMJ
    The referees are more at fault than Cavanagh. Any player in that position would've hoped they could do the same, but to not send him off afterwards was a disgrace
  • @bhchargers
    Brolly is bang on right.It was a disgrace.It was cheating.If your going to foul him at least make it look like your trying to get the ball.What Cavanagh did was a total disgrace and is every thing thats wrong with Gaelic.People like u who condone it should be kept away from sport.
  • @pubkrocknroll
    fucking disgrace well done to brolly for calling a spade a spade
  • @pacohoratio
    Joe Brolly represents the best of what the GAA is about, shame on RTE....
  • @eoinmor
    he was dead right. this was theiry henry stuff. not the first time tyrone have made a mockery of the game.
  • @patoshea738
    I hate joe brolly coz he is always cutting down kerry but he makes a valid point
  • @woodjackson8424
    This was great stuff! Great vital debating which is sadly missing from RTE these days. We only now get the sanitised model of discussion; the cautious, timid, careful-not-to cause- offence formula. It's so bland, it's embarrassing. The new producers mc Bennett and co have destroyed proper debate. Shame on them.

    Why would he have sour grapes, he is from Tyrone. He is right. McManus was through on goal. If an illegal foul such as this happened in rugby it would have been a penalty try. Cynical play should be punished and not just by a black card.
  • @letusplaydarts
    Joe should have let O'Rourke and Spillane speak earlier but he was right. In every sport, people will do what it takes to win, but if the benefit they get from breaking the rules outweighs the punishment they get for it, then the rules are not fit for purpose. I don't think it was anything against Tyrone. There are a lot of cynical men all over the country who would've done the same thing as Cavanagh, (including in Derry) and Joe's point was about them all.
  • @RS-im3mh
    “No other sport where that is permitted apart from the Gaelic games” it was a fuckin rugby tackle 😂
  • @Lord_OTD
    It’s like I was watching Rugby and Basketball at the same time. Could never get used to this.
  • @Driver2616
    Brolly has never been my cup of tea but he’s correct here
  • @markstv40
    I too as a defender would have pulled him down out of pure instinct, but also I would have expected my game to come to a premature end with a red card.
