GAA PUNDIT AND ex-Derry footballer Joe Brolly has attacked the prejudicial attitudes which he believes still exist in the GAA.
The pundit, who is renowned for his controversial views on the game, was writing in his column for the Derry Journal.
Brolly pointed to various examples of this attitude and added:
“When northern teams were winning nothing, coming down to get an annual hammering, we were patronised left, right and centre. ‘It’s great to see ye keeping the game alive up there.’ When we started winning and winning regularly in the 90s and noughties, begrudgery was the new theme. Armagh were robots. Tyrone? Puke footballers. Suddenly, we are British b*****ds who should go back to the north.”
Brolly won two All-Star awards over the course of his playing career, and was part of the first-ever Derry side to win the All-Ireland Championship in 1993.
