"The show is a liability to the GAA and now a liability to RTE too," the Kerry man wrote. "If the powers-that-be in Croke Park and Montrose have any vision they will get together, take it off the air at the end of the season, rebrand it and relaunch it with new talent in a new direction. "The current offering is reductive, agenda-led and has been mired in a culture of bias for 10 years."However, Joe Brolly hit back on SportsJOE Live.
"If RTÉ offer him a job, all that disappears," Brolly said before going into a broader point. "Graeme Souness once said there was a huge difference in working for Sky and RTÉ - you have to be positive all the time on Sky. You couldn't criticise anything, everything is rehearsed. "I discuss the game as if I was standing in a bar with a pint of stout talking to you about it. "Nobody ever said to me on RTÉ that you ought not to say that."Of course, the Derry man was pressed on matters by Wooly, especially about his comments on Pat Spillane but Brolly was unrepentant.
"Sometimes I just like to have fun on TV," he smiled. "Francis Urquhart said on the original House of Cards, 'it's time to put a bit of stick about'. "Pat's an acquired taste. My father has a great line, 'he's alright if you like that sort of thing'. "I wouldn't be a great of fan of Pat's - I'd be a great fan of Colm O'Rourke."It all kicks off from 24:47 below.
