The Sunday Game

[maigheo]

Ciaran Whelan is an excellent analyst but why do Rte persist with the other two who sound like 2 old men in a pub talking about a game they have not seen

[vallankumous]

Only lad on RTE interested in analyzing the game, as opposed to spouting off.

He spouts off less but he is capable of it as much and will progress like the others.
A big part of the problem is RTE pushing for banter.

Brolly and Whelan were at a panel chat show thingy on Sat night in Dublin which i was at and they were sitting beside each other chatting and laughing all night. There was also Tomas O'Se, Jack O'Shea, Barney Rock, Anthony Daly and was hosted by Marty M.
Brolly was quiet enough for the first 5 mins but then of course as usual he took over the show and tore strips of Kerry and called them the Donegal of the South. He said Kerry have sold their soul to the blanket defence brigade and are no longer playing the game like they used to but are too worried about the other team.
Joe as usual made some excellent arguments and held nothing back but I'd say it set the agenda for him and Whelan the next day.

He gave Sky an awful going over and even did a wee "take the piss" skit on their show. He uses humour very well to wind people in to like him but then also cuts very close to the bone many times with his clever remarks. I'd say Jack O'Shea was ready to punch him a few times as he sat there with his 7 AI medals to Joe's 1 and listened to Joe criticise Kerry football whilst singing Dublin's praises.

The amount of times he talks over other people though and not let them finish their point is a disgrace and MM wasn't able to control him. At one stage Whelan took his mike off him to shut him up.
Was a good night though.

If RTE annoy you's lads so much, use your remote control. The game was on Sky as well, why not just press a button and switch it over.

Good to see the highlights last night actually do analysis.

[twohands!!!]

Watching the 6 o'clock news on RTE last night and they didn't even give the result of the minor semi-final never mind any footage.

1 not everyone has Sky
2 , while  RTE get the TV licence  money they are fair game for every one who pays the license whether they watch it or not . It pains me to think im paying for the privilege of not watching Gobshites like Joe brolly, t carr, and O rourke  at the Sky provide a skybox to FastForward Peter Canavan

Did sky have a camera on the goal line for Kerry's second goal? The RTE pictures were inconclusive.

[joemamas]

Just watched Sky version of Sunday game.
What exactly is Senan Connell adding to the equation.
The post match studio analysis was cringeworthy,
Connell was stupidly smirking as nausium.

Tomás O Sé is some Dublin lick arsheen in fairness to him.

[straightred]

whelan tried his best to get the spotlight on keegan for the incident just before the 1st goal (should have been a card of some colour) and then the indicent were the ref booked both of them. The others wouldn't let him make the point as they are obsessed with equalling these things out. He is spot on when he talks about the the cop out of the ref booking both. It happens every week and it is really frustrating. Keegan clearly started it so he should have been punished on his own.
