Who would have believed that Joe Brolly and Kieran Donaghy's twitter back and forths were all pro-wrestling?
During the week, they had another online tiff (manufactured now, it transpires) over that whole Kerry-Tyrone thing back in the first decade of the 21st century.
Well-worn stuff.
At the time we said that monitoring the twitter banter of prominent GAA personalities was a thankless task but that someone had to "man that post."
In his Late Late show interview tonight, Donaghy was asked about he and Brolly.
He immediately referenced his and Brolly's fun on the twitter machine. Apparently, Brolly instigated the whole thing with a text beforehand. He was a bit bored and suggested a mini dust-up on twitter.
Donaghy said they were texting each other throughout the morning.
And he noted that certain fine and august publication had picked up on the twitter exchange and brought news of it to the masses.
Cheers for shout-out @starryboy14 Just to be clear, we DM'ed him beforehand asking for a plug #LateLateShow

Furthermore, Donaghy had this to say of Brolly.
I had my go off of him. But it was pure hop ball. He lets on that he doesn't like Kerry but he's actually obsessed with Kerry.
Elsewhere in the interview, he talked about his late father, his relationship with his wife, and his hopes to be back in a Kerry jersey for next year.
