The Sunday Game

Did I hear carney say that one team executed a choke tackle on a player in possession ?

[bridgegael]

"it must be said"

RTE's coverage needs cleaned out. Commentator and pundits. It's still stuck in the 80's.

Yeah the 1880's! They seem ruthless when it comes to Brendan O'Connor or Marty Whealan (every half decade or so). The only theory is that these guys are cheap? If they are they sure live up their price.

He sure did  He's one that definitely has to go for me,during the game there were actually times i floated off in my head writing out in my mind the complaint i was going to send to Rte sport that this stuttering and mumbling fool is somehow still getting paid to talk absolute drivel.

Seriously, something has to be done about the RTE commentary.
How many red bulls is Carney drinking before the game?

Carney was insufferable today. He spent the whole game praising tyrones style of play and their determination and barely gave kerrys qualities a mention.

Canning must of thought he was watching some sort of movie the way he constantly used the word "stroking" today

Nothing wrong with the 80s, a great decade.

I really miss the days when you could turn the sound down and listen to Micheál.

I just turn to Sky. The three lads on RTE in their shiney shoes all trying to shout over one another to say their pre-scripted spiels. Switch to Sky and they're saying things like, " I actually have to disagree with Jimmy because X,Y,Z ".. Almost civilised.

For years I thought doing this was called 'canning'.

When we were kids and sat down to watch a match, the auld fella would suddenly shouts expletives at the TV along with 'canning, canning!' and then do the above.

Sky have just continued with the TV3 template and added a bit more.
BBC NI pundits also have decent discussions, albeit in a more minimalist traditional setting.
It's easy for them both, they just look at rte and see what they shouldn't do.

On rte,  Whelan and O'Rourke  were considered in what they 'pundited' and didn't shout over each other, it's Brolly who's the fox in the hen house.

Hawkeye really should be called on to decide on 45s

Like Carney. Wonder how he will react if he ever comes across some malice in a tackle.

Camera work/ angles/ replays of major incidents  not good enough today imo.
