Brolly and Hayes out of order.

Normally I give great credence to the views of Joe Brolly.He was good footballer ,won an All Ireland and is fierce well educated,earning his living as a barrister,as far as I know.Normally his views appear balanced to me.
However his dismissal of Seanie Johnson,the former Cavan player ,as a mere "tournament player"is mean spirited,vicious and below the belt.It is the sort of comment a true Gael might make about somebody amongst close friends over a few pints of stout,in animated discussion but is most definitely not the sort of comment one ought make on the national airwaves. He should do the decent thing and withdraw it a.s.a.p.
And all this nonsense in the media about public disquiet concerning the participation of the same man in a hurling match to gain eligibility is nothing more than reporters with little to do stirring up the shite.
The man is only following the rules .
Liam Hayses comments on Kevin Mc Menamin's football ability were also off the wall.He was instrumental in winning the All Ireland last year for the Dubs and again pulled the fat out of ther fire yesterday.
If I'm not mistsaken his father was Maxi Mc Menamin ,who played with Synge Street many moons ago and who was a good footballer and against whom I often played with Brigids.
Hayes should also withdraw his uncharitable comments and apologise.
