The former Derry corner forward will not be getting tickets for next summer’s Croke Park takeover.
Joe Brolly has embarked on a rant about Oasis, describing them as ‘awful’ and recounting a story in which he told one of the Gallagher brothers to ‘go and f*** yourself’.
The GAA analyst and former player opened up about his unsavoury past experience with the band on his Free State podcast, which he hosts alongside journalist Dion Fanning.
In his expletive monologue, Brolly said: “I would not go out into the back garden (to see them), those two wee small boys, who have only got one song and they repeated the same song over and over and over. Banal lyrics.
“Our Maeve said to us one time, I was on the Late Late Show and Pat Shortt was on,” the 55-year-old broadcaster continued.
“He’s great fun. He kept doing “that’s right” to me, “that’s right”, I couldn’t stop laughing.
“Anyway, she said ‘oh would you get his autograph’. I don’t know which of the wee ones was on. He was a wee tiny person.
“Anyway, he was on first and he came out and I said ‘Oh how you doing, my daughter would love your autograph’.
“I was with Pat Shortt and he didn’t even dare to speak to me, so great a person that he is, and his security says ‘Sorry mate you have to write in for permission to get autographs.
“And I says ‘go and f*** yourself you wee s**** and calling yourself Irish and calling yourself from Mayo, what the hell is wrong with you?”
Brolly added: “You call yourself Irish. Come up to Mayo and behave like that and see how long you get on. You know the wee runners from RTE, they were all like ‘Jesus Christ of almighty this is going to kick off’.
“Pat Shortt and me had a good laugh about it anyway. I says ‘Aye run’. But anyway, the idea that you would, that anybody would be interested in that…. I’ll tell you what it is, it’s like a cult thing. People are so easily manipulated.”
The All-Ireland winner joked that he should have given the brother, who he can’t remember which one it was, “a slap” before adding “except I’m not violent.”
Many fans of the band will be hoping Noel and Liam announce more Croke Park dates, after general ticket sales last weekend turned into pure and utter carnage.
Thousands of fans failed to secure a ticket to the group’s already-announced gigs at the home of the GAA and are worried that they’re going to miss out on one of the biggest events in music this century.

A report from The Irish Sun suggested this more dates at Croke Park could be announced soon.
Quoting an unnamed showbiz source, the outlet states that the band are “very likely” to be back at Croke Park the following weekend on the dates August 23 and 24.
