GAA doing a deal with SkySports

[orangeman]

I find Rachel Wyse's accent tremendously sexy - probably due to something in my subconscious about hearing a lot of similar accents at the Wesley disco, which I frequented in my teens, a long time ago.

There's help for that sort of thing.

Brolly's tweet wasn't that far wrong....

What was that ?

SKY = BBC + Baywatch Babe

Although in fairness, Rachel Wyse was decent

Yeah, a bit of toilet roll.

A bloke from Islington on Twitter commented that Kilkenny may be the first hurling team to declare.

I'm a bit slow tonight lads. I don't get this??

Cricket. A team declares (stops batting) when they know they've won.

Has to be said that Offaly made a solid start on 18/1 in reply to Kilkenny's 32/5.

ha ah ha, thats one class!!

Well done Rachel and Co.   As a starter I think they performed well and presentation attitudes were to promote not to denigrate. Rte Spillane brolly and all are too negative in their demeanour and I do feel they are last years boys.  Are they Finished. Who knows what way they will change.  These new  guys are better at showing our games in a positive way.

[Captain Scarlet]

That's the main difference in Sky they call it selling the product. On this case it's hurling so instead of banging on how bad Offaly were they focused more on Kilkenny and their awesome skill.
To be honest RTE football panel need to cop on a bit it's always a shite match with to much x, y and z.

[Hardy]

I have to agree with those two posts. The two lads in the studio were super-articulate as well, though as someone alluded to, I doubt if any British viewers picked up more than 40% of their 100 mph delivery.

[rrhf]

Even the rte start today showed they have been ordered to pull their socks up.  Lester was focused but pleasant as he opened up proceedings with a smile. Spillane and brolly were direct and well prepared and o rourke had a role as well. Video intro was good.  So sky is forcing the rte producers to clamp down and organise their presentation.

In a game that gave us 6 goals (3 pointers) + an Offaly 'keeper who made some great saves, one of which he threw himself at and getting hit full pelt in the chest it is a bit of a stupid tweet.
"There's no point in a goalkeeper".

Actually, I see he only watched 5 minutes. Hardly gave it a chance.

He also said it was a bit tongue in cheek.

Brolly must have hit the wine at halftime or something

They can clamp down all they like but you can't polish turds into diamonds.  Employ gombeens and you get what you deserve.
