Joe Brolly apologises for the second time to Marty Morrissey over ‘ugly’ comments

How many times do you have to say it?

Joe Brolly has kissed and made up with Marty Morrissey after his comments about the Clare man on RTE's live coverage of Cavan v Monaghan on the Sunday Game. The Derry man compared Cavan's so called ugly tactics to the visage of the Clareman during the broadcast and received some pretty serious heat for his comments,

Brolly did apologise at half time but it seems that it's not quite enough and after a stinging article from Jim McGuinness about Brolly's behaviour, as well as some criticism from former teammate Anthony Tohill, today RTE have issued a statement today to say that Brolly has once again offered his contrition. Ryle Nugent,Group Head of Sport with RTE has declared that Brolly has once again offered his apologies to Morrissey for any offence caused and realises the error of what he said.

'I have spoken with Joe Brolly about the comments he made in relation to RTE Sport’s GAA Correspondent and commentator Marty Morrissey on last weekend’s Sunday Game Live broadcast. Joe is acutely aware that his ill-conceived attempt at humour was both inappropriate and extremely hurtful and had no place in any broadcast. Further, Joe is fully cognisant of the fact that similar comments in any future broadcast cannot and will not be tolerated.' 'Joe Brolly has spoken at length with and offered a heartfelt apology to Marty Morrissey which was graciously accepted.' 'All parties now consider this matter closed.'

Now,can we get back to some real sport please.
