Joe Brolly RTE commentator GAA Ulster Bias

Sceala Philosopher Location: Dublin

Like most impartial viewers, I wanted Down to win today. And the signs were positive right until the half-time RTE panel and Joe Brolly's views.
I liked Joe Brolly as a player, he almost had it all. But as a RTE commentator, Joe Brolly provides the most bias sports comments and views around.

Match Half time he totally wrote Cork off. Joe Brolly was not commentating, there was no objectivity, he was talking about his wishes. I have never heard such ridiculing of a team at half time. There was only 3 points in it, to hear Joe Brolly going off on one, you would think there was 15 points, and all goals.
When ever a Ulster team are on the pitch, Joe Brolly is the same. Joe Brolly must think he can talk up a win for his bias.
Well done to Cork. I do not think they were the better team all year. All of Dublin are hurting, we know we should have kept the Sam maguire in Dublin this year.
We should be kicking ourselves, as dubjimmy said, we had it won and were the better team overall in the semi. Down were not the better team for 70 today, it was not a unlucky loss.
In the end and for the final 30 minutes, it was watching GAA minors v seniors. 7 -1 Cork in 20, totally turned the match. Down had no strength in depth, or the experience to respond.
Cork win in control, then as usual Joe Brolly does his back-tracking. Joe brolly tried to make out he was only joking about writing Cork off at half time. Even Pat Spillane felt he had to put Joe Brolly right on that. Pat Spillane said Brolly was writing Cork off. Pat Spillane who was even a better player in his days, is someone Brolly should watch. Spillane is someone who can commentate with a even mind,
Good game by Down, maybe one to watch for a few years time.
Roll on 2011, it has to be Dublin's year to win the football All Ireland championship.

We are going to Miss Micheal O'Muircheartaigh, he is the voice of The GAA.
