Pat Spillane..

That's the thing. He was no fool and I had no problem about the stuff he said about my county cause most of it was true.

But Dublin won soft all Irelands, Tyrone were not team of decade(who cared anyway), Kerry this and kerry that. If I got a Euro for everytime he mentioned his eight all irelands. Plus I used laugh when he compare kerry football to national rugby team or soccer team. Kerry were winners but they were not. Sweet jesus.

And fact he is still bitter about 1982 says it all. Man won 8 all irelands, enjoy them. Most would chop a arm off for one.

To be fair to him he did admit on TV prior to his meltdown last year that Tyrone were the team of the 2000s decade because even though Kerry won more All Irelands they could never beat Tyrone.

Jack Charlton type stuff by the Sligo Co board so….?

maybe ‘pits’ young lad wasn’t up to it as if he was surely the KY board wud Ave done anything required for him to stay with Kerry

He only seemed to get going when he joined Judes. The commute to his home club wasn't working and he wasn't even starting on the team when they won the club all Ireland. AFAIK Sligo train somewhere around the Midlands which isn't too bad commuting from Dublin and he is good enough to start for them now when he's probably not good enough for Kerry yet.

That’s Cockiness and hot air talk for you 😀😀

quite impressive time for the 100m though…..10.54 secs…….the Brit /Scott lad Alan wells won the 1980 olympics with 10.25….

Are you sure they reverted to a 100 yard distance for the ‘super-stars’ despite what the report on the web report says…?

he would beat them all in a ‘talk-a-ton’ ……?

Spillane also used to be a presenter, I was watching the tape from The Sunday Game the night of the 2004 semi final and he was presenting along with Anthony Tohill as a pundit.

I suppose I enjoyed him overall but recently I have taken a dislike to Brolly despite him being a Derry hero. His wokeness on Twitter is off the scale and he is obsessed with Brexit, I've never seen anyone who posts about it as much as him. I think Brolly is a massive virtue signaller.

Two of them got inter-county manager jobs.

Did RTE lobby for them to get the jobs ?

Spillane being bitter Spillane as usual by saying his Kerry side were better than Dubs 6 in a row etc.

When i 1st watched GAA as a child in the 90s Spillane came across well, relaxed and good craic. In this social media age he just seems to be a self promoter craving clicks and attention.

Even when Whelan presented him with the Dublin jersey for his retirement he had to have dig at Dublin about how Kerry beat them most of the time.

Kerry never win a soft All Irelands, Dublin won most of theirs softly.

Kerry only had win 2 games to win All Ireland lot of the time and Cork were hopeless for much of it too.

It still pains him that the 5 in a row was done and not kerry.

Having 8 All Irelands and still bitter that's pretty sad. I actually feel sorry for him.

Most would die for 1 AI

Spillane just can’t help himself. Most biased pundit ever……as mentioned above by someone, ky in the 70’s and 80’s had barely any opposition in Munster, cork pipped them once in 1983 up to then they walked through every title. Then when it came to semis in that era Ulster and Connaught were also brutal which left them just having one/two tough games…….yet they could only do four in a row….😀😀

Dublin on the other hand…..probably had it as easy in the last decade but did six in a row so ‘pit’ should drop his bragging shite, but he just can’t help himself…..his ego is up there with Donald trumps.🤣🤣

Spillane used to lose the head at stuff, I don’t think a lot of it was preplanned.

You are right about Brolly though there is no sincerity to anything he says, it is all for attention.

Spillane’s analysis did seem a bit dated at times ‘passion’ ‘hunger’ his main buzzwords. But when mixed with a younger analyst it was OK. From what I remember when Spillane was main presenter he was very awkward. Those were strange days.
