Getting a bit nasty.
We’ll give the quick recap here.
- Colm Cooper is having a testimonial dinner that is expected to make somewhere in the region of €200,000
- Joe Brolly isn’t happy with it
- Brolly branded it a ‘very disappointing development’
- He also wrote a column about it
- Yes, Joe Brolly was not happy
- Gooch went on The Late Late Show
- Gooch said Joe Brolly sent him a text to apologise for things getting out of hand
- Joe Brolly denies sending that text
All caught up? Cool.
Well, there have been further developments, oh you bet you.
The Derryman wrote another column about Colm Cooper for the Sunday Independent, this time mimicking Cooper’s upcoming autobiography and it all seemed a little bit frosty.
The column was written in Gooch’s voice and the last paragraph reads:
“Anyhow, with the first testimonial almost upon me (and a nice tax-free €200,000), my sponsors and I are already looking forward to the second one. The testimonial that is, not the memoirs, hahahahahahaha.”
Joe being Joe decided to go to Twitter to share his article:
