The Sunday Game

[yellowcard]

i wonder will sunday game bring up the diving incidents in 2 games today? Some shocking stuff from McManus and Oconnor

Didn't see the O'Connor one but McManus was embarrassing. This culture needs to be taken out of the game. In hurling you would be ridiculed by your own team mates if you had perpetrated such an act. It happens too often now particularly in the latter stages of matches as players attempt to break up and slow down the game by feigning injury or fouling cynically.

Was watching the Mayo/Galway game but with Clare/Kerry looking interesting stuck on Radio Kerry, Christ the difference between knowledgeable passionate commentators and Dessie "I can see it right there, watch his lower arm"* Dolan was day and night...

*It was a knew in the balls Dessie....

Reading the reports there sounded like Kerry just about hung in during the first half, but were far too good for Clare in the 2nd half, even with 14 men. Could be a nasty one for Cork in the final.

9 points from O'Donoghue with 5 from play a fair old haul.

Sunday Game showing Kerry Clare. Finally learning lessons and not showing games already shown live earlier.

I watched first half of Monaghan game on RTE and second on BBC. Thomas Niblock and Marty Clark actually a very good duo, particularly enjoy Clarke's input to the commentary.

I should have switched over to BBC than listening to that clown Carney

Carney doesn't bother me, but nobody is worse than Ger Canning. Commentating by numbers.

The commentator on the Wex v KK game reckons it was a "good save" for the Wexford keeper for the balls up for Fennellys goal

[From the Bunker]

Fennelly catches the ball and drives towards goal!

How do you legally stop him?

He definitely takes more than 4 steps and has his head down.

Not sure of Hurling rules. Can he do that?

Dessie Dolan had a great one today, "Galway are playing a zonal defence in that everyone is marking their own man".

Dessie is the Michael Owen of GAA commentary

he usually gets advantage as the back is 'fouling him'.
not only that, but he runs into lads and just ploughs on
power hurling.

There are a number of ways to stop him.
Get between him and the goal without putting your arms around him or pulling the jersey off him.
Stay with him until he needs to play the ball and try to dispossess him when he tries to play it.

The two lads just hugged, pulled and hauled at him.

The Wexford lads should have got black cards

Nice bloke but a very bland pundit and co commentator.
