Joe Brolly is Marmite – half of you want to smear him all over your toast, while the other half seemingly want to punch him in the face.
The 1993 All-Ireland winner, The Sunday Game pundit, barrister, organ donor and all-around raconteur was the special guest on SportsJOE Live on Wednesday night and he did not disappoint.
Seriously, look at Ronan O’Gara’s face.

Bowing at the feet of All Blacks legend Zinzan Brooke, lying off in the sun with Colm O’Rourke, defending Diarmuid Connolly, suicidal Japanese tennis players, his feelings on Pat Spillane and the alleged inconsistency of his punditry… all were up for discussion during a rollicking show.
Seriously, look at his fellow panellist O’Gara’s face… he did not know what to make of the loquacious Derryman.
It goes without saying that Brolly’s performance divided opinion.
Some were loving his heated debate with host Colm Parkinson.
Joe Brolly v Wooly Parkinson is probably the best thing Joe.ie have ever done. Great entertainment on @SportsJOEdotie.

But, love him or hate him, we cannot seem to stop talking about him. As a nation we are divided, with approximately 50 percent thinking Brolly is insufferable and the other 50 considering him a legend in his own lifetime.
