I'm watching on a dodgy box and for some reason the commentary on RTE is in Irish

Watching on Sky now

I wish I had sky

Why do they not use Ciarán Whelan in the commentary box instead of Carr???

Knock, novenas and our Lord all get a mention. Must have been some private competition going on between O'Rourke and Spilane. Joe on a different wavelength with his "sh1t or bust for Mayo"

Carr thought it shouldn't have been the black card early on for the Tipp guy because it was early in the game & it was 80 odd years since their last semi. Why do we have to listen to this b0llox

+1.
What an appalling eejit.
I would have switched to the leagan Gaeilge but we had some foreign visitors.

God the Tipp full back was poor for the first goal today.
He may as well have made tae for him.

Tommy Carr had always been all forms of dreadful. A great man for telling you that momentum has changed, but never able to pinpoint why. While even the worst soccer commentators (which is quite a competition) do some research on players and facts before a match, Tommy's insights come across as the work of a man who takes the Sindo to the crapper for 5 minutes before the throw-in.

But what the past couple of years with black cards have clearly highlighted is just how little he understands about the rules of the game. I'd imagine that this blatant disregard for his profession might be enough to see him shifted gently out the door.

Tommy Carr followed by Jarlath Burns. The harmless brigade are busy today

Why is 'TOM' suddenly the 'go-to' guy as TV co-commentator?
He was more of a radio man before this year I thought, now he seems to be on telly every 2nd week.
I actually pine for the Marty & Martin show when I hear his voice and believe me, that takes some doing.

McStay leaving for the galaticos probably had a part to play.

Well can only hope wobbler.

I had a feeling the Rossies were to blame somehow.

Sunday game is really getting worse each year. 3 pundits with on the fence views, they each throw out a few boring sound bites either side of the many an ad breaks. Des Cahill just wants to be everyone's best friend and never asks a single probing question. and what's with the flashy suits. Style over substance.
