They'll need a bigger chair.

Not a bad choice, fairly neutral and will have the balls to put the hard questions across....hopefully.

It'll be endless Dubs and Kingdom and the Seventies etc etc yawnnnnnnnn

Is it just me or does it look like musical chairs? Nothing really new, fresh or innovative.

[ExiledGael]

Good call IMO. Never going to keep everyone happy but he knows the game and what people want to ask/hear.

[RedandGreenSniper]

Good choice. Not the best choice imho (Dara O Cinneide) but a good choice all the same. Will be an improvement on Pat. Curious to see will I enjoy Pat on the other side of the couch or just want shut of him altogether!

I wonder will Pat turn into a complete caricature now (i.e. a yapping dose) or will he provide insightful analysis?

Excellent choice......knows his stuff....bit of humour with him.....looking forward to it.

The Road to Croker was excellent.

I would imagine they'll use Spillane on the live broadcast rather than the roundup program. It would be awkward I would think if he was to be an analyst with Cahill, at least until Cahill is well established in the role.

Anyway, Just delighted to see Pat gone from the anchor role. 4 cringeworthy years

is it not preferable to keep o'cinneide where he is?

[Fear ón Srath Bán]

Happy enough with that. With what Spillane has had to bottle up over these last four years he's likely to spontaneously combust on his first programme back on the other side of the couch.

Disastrous choice. Cahill is much too lightweight and averse to confrontation to be any good. He's the kind of presenter who'll be more worried about players whose socks and togs don't match and will probably introduce a raffle to win €100 worth of free shopping down at your local Spar.

not a great choice if you ask me. Some young blood would be nice, like everyone was saying, Dara O'Cinneide

As good a speaker as O Cinneide is he showed last year that he's totally unable to be impartial in controversial circumstances involving Kerry, bluffed it totally.
