I'm a rugby man but decided to give their new podcast 'Free State' a lash. As a result I ended up here wanting more and ended up watching this. No I am completely sold - Joe Brolly what a man and so interesting. Dion so smart to let him just keep going. Thank you for this amazing interview.
Joe Brolly is a gentleman. I admire your straightness your honesty and your willingness to help human beings. Your pundit ability is top class. You a true gentleman and I am proud of your accomplishments. I hope you have a brilliant future. Thank you for so much enjoyable TV and other programs.
My first time to view anything on this channel. At last a return to journalism as it should be, and a stunning revelation on the character and humanity that is Joe Brolly.
Joe really is a storyteller by heart in the age of short shift headlines this is something that we really do not want to forget or lose in our small little nation.
Probably the best interview I have seen in a long long time.. Joe Brolly is so honest, and infectious.. What an incredible bloke... Fair play Joe... u are one of the good ones..
Wow as an Irish Man living in Australia I learnt so much about the GAA in this interview from a truly passionate wonderful human being Joe who is just brilliant. Community, empathy and strong moral values. I hope Joe gets sleep and works through his CPTSD childhood issues which plague him as he doesn’t deserve to suffer in anyway, and those that are near him, look after this man he’s fragile and longs for his community. Hug him mind him cherish him, and listen to him.
Joe brolly is one of the coolest people on the planet...he will get a sainthood no fkn doubt...amazing show along with all the rest of them on unfiltered. This is proper journalism...keep this up please xx
This is the way 'tv' is going. Mainstream tv would not get away with this. Check out Triggernometry on YT for something similar in the world of wokeness. Mainstream tv is over.
An instinctively mature expression of an altruistic mode of being while simultaneously portraying the truth of his own human lack and difficulty. Delivered with humour and forthrightness with a small “f” Thanks Joe for sharing your experience and wisdom so honestly. Well done interviewer for staying out of the road while continuing to drive the bus. Thank you
Superb as always, Dion does such a good job of teasing out a guests story, he always gets guests to relax and as a result gets some gems, for my money the best interviewer on the Island and in a superb format.
Excellent interview. Could listen to joe all day. A great story teller, can hold a audience captive for hours. Very intellengent and heart warming induvidual.
Lads..absolutely great shoe..Joe brolly is one of the most interesting people on the island of Ireland and that's the perfect interview..Joe knows when what and how to ask...exceptional interview 👏 👌
"The last time I stood on this stage, I quite literally brought the house down", said the Guildhall Bomber during his maiden speech (as a political representative) in the Guildhall
Just had a beautiful hour and about watching this.thank you Dion and joe.it can be a lonely time in this world at times.people like Joe s taughts and mind make it bearable.thanks again Joe
So funny eh? Maybe she was bitter, angry whatever after her father was twice attacked by scum republicans but how this clown dismisses her "get in the que" shows his blatent hatred & bigotry towards those attacked & his support for the attacker, guys an idiot !
Football & Boxing Nothing Else Matters like he said,, what age are you? Catch yourself on you bitter prick. You’re a stubborn loyalist who doesn’t know facts. You’re a keyboard warrior , everyone has a story to tell in the north. No ones actions are excusable
@@glasgowstyle6263 Do some proper research this man talks the talk and walks the walk and gave a kidney too a person that needed one let’s hope you never need a transplant lose the tuff man image and you might get more respect
Joe is such a good speaker and storyteller. Wasn’t a bad footballer either. Will never forget the All Ireland final of ‘93. Brolly, Tohill, the Downey brothers, McGilligan, Scullion etc. Was a decent team!
That's very true the UDA and UVF godfathers rule their communities with an iron fist and make tens of thousands of pounds a month by selling drugs to their own young people and extorting businessmen that operate in their areas
Poverty does not discriminate its in all places that have used and abuses and taken for granted let’s stop doing that to each other and take what good from our cultures and tro away what not useful
Inspirational and extremely honest. At times I’ve disagreed with some of the comments about Tyrone over the years. He was just expressing his opinion. The way he has spoke in the interview about everything right across the sectarian divide was brilliant. RTE a disgrace anyway letting Joe go was a joke. Hope Sky get more viewers next year.
Best interview I've heard in years genius is to leave Joe flow not like wat Joanne cantwell done cut him off every time he mentioned anything slightly controversial. The Dublin charity vs the Kerry Charity story was a superb example. As soon as she got the hot seat that was Joe done. Sad times
There is no bit of devilment in Jo Ca and I would say too politically correct about who says what on the show. Joe is (and the viewers are) better off really moving away from the sanitised version of the Sunday Game. At least Michael Lyster would throw a few grenades in and leave them at it. Bill O H used to do the same thing in the soccer. Boring times ahead methinks.
@@25pappy she looks well in front of the rte camera but that’s it rte can’t afford there one sided view the winds of change are picking up and the national broadcaster aren’t carefully some other group will soon fill the voice for unification
is the truth? Don't think your opinion constitutes the truth...in my opinion she's far better than what went before her! But hey, everyone entitled to one and all that...
Great interview...RTE dont want people who can question them and call them out...Great personalities and RTE will lose out in the long term with boring bland people...Public dont wants bores.
Brollys a class act. Could listen to him all day. Eloquent, introspective, intelligent but a blaggard. Always high entertainment. Why in the name of God hasn't he got his own podcast?
Joe is seemingly a man of contradictions himself- warm, measured and thoughtful in a one-on-one interview like this (and also capable of great generosity, as his kidney donation shows) but caustic, personal and bombastic when he gets near a laptop or a TV studio, especially towards amateur athletes who generally give lots and take little in return. He is also a bit self-serving here when it comes to the RTÉ stuff; they stood him down because he alleged that the ref in the All-Ireland senior football final had been influenced by a media campaign by one of the teams, not because he was controversial per se.
@@jackietreehorn5561 Did you rev up the Delorean on this thread? 😂 He got sacked from his position at RTÉ, which was probably enough for the person defamed, who after all is still an active match official.
@@TheLastAngryMan01 joking lol..... should never have been sacked. Imo mainstream media in all governments in the west are extremely censored and getting more like old red Russia
Brilliant interview. Joe is a great story teller and whilst I might not agree with everything he says he has a good heart and the right intentions. 100% agree with his view on punditry on live matches. It should be debate and discussion, not cold analysis of statistics - leave that to the video analysts. By all means do the stats attack in the Sunday Game if there is a demand for this.
I stumbled on this interview - how I got there I don't know but!! I have been transfixed for the complete time - brilliant ,intertaining, educational and so enjoyable. Wm Maguire.
I have never heard of this guy but he certainly is very confident that he has all the answers. He has an arrogant opinion on everyone even though he doesn't actually know them. He dismisses Arlene Foster without considering the trauma she must have gone through as an eight year old child, when the IRA attempted to kill her Father. He talks about the EU as if it is God's gift to democracy. We will see how it works out for Ireland when they have to pay their way in the EU and how their people will react when they realise they will become a minority in their own country. There are a lot of people in Ireland who do not want to give up their Sovereignty to be ruled by technocrats in Brussells. They are being conned by their own politicians who are planning for the population to double within the next few years by mass migration.
I have to say that I usually find Brolly (Whilst his time as an analyst on the Sunday Game) a complete dose of a man without any sense of decorum. However! I found him to be completely compelling in this Interview. I think I will have to revaluate my opinion on him. From a Donegal Man.

A breath of fresh air he gave his kidney how good is that
the GAA are basically the irish equivalent of the NFL

@@jackietreehorn5561 And was the only time to be Irish and speak Irish. Nothing like the NFL lol
I could listen to this man (Brolly) for ever!
I was not a Joe fan. UNTIL NOW. You can say what you like about him, but he's intelligent.
He's runs for president I'll be voting for him
Brolly one of the last characters on RTE been shown the door, no wonder no one wants to pay the TV licence
RTE despise the IRA and Joe is one of the IRA's most high profile supporters
@@longmemory1620 your oul hole, Joe is no IRA supporter and anyway the IRA is gone years ago.

Once RTE sport had Eamon Dunphy, George Hook and Joe Brolly. Three great Irish characters. Look at the blandness we are offered nowadays.

Enjoyed Joe’s interview immensely and loved his quote about the Democratic Unionist Party Leader “she was perpetually enraged”.😄😄

And he doesn't pretend to be something that he's not...
an honest man who fought tooth and nail to keep Liam Adams out of prison
Absolutely fabulous brilliant I love Joe
Great stories Joe and well done Dion Fanning for letting him talk
Could listen to this man all day, great story teller!👏👏
Joe is such a good speaker and storyteller. Wasn’t a bad footballer either. Will never forget the All Ireland final of ‘93. Brolly, Tohill, the Downey brothers, McGilligan, Scullion etc. Was a decent team!
How that team didn’t push on to win more I’ll never know
Brilliant Joe Brolly interview
Spot on joe glad you mention the poverty of the Protestant people of Belfast they have been intern for years by gangsters

Absolutely fantastic.
Brilliant as usual dion.always have been a brolly fan even more so now.keep the great interviews coming lads
What a lovely listen .
George Orwell was right ....
Be careful what you think......or else ....!
