The Sunday Game

[RedHand88]

Woolly would stir the pot

Wooly, Ewan MacKenna, Dunphy.

I'd watch that show.

[imtommygunn]

He's stirring plenty today I notice on  that Meath game. I dunno much about those two Meath teams but that team in white looked horrendous. All kicked off after one of their played seemed to feign a strike on the face.

Also I wouldn't in a million years watch a show with those 3 boys. McKenna is toxic. The other two aren't that bad but McKenna shouldn't be let near anything professional.

RTE could learn a lot from the modern day podcasts, and try to totally revamp the show with something more interactive and with free flowing conversation rather than stale, rehearsed commentary on games.  Plus Des has a point, too many games to fit into one show.  If you want to do the games justice, there probably needs to be a second midweek show of some sort.  Would love to see a Wed or Thurs night preview show of the upcoming weekend games.

They need at least one midweek show, perhaps one to show longer segments of games and one preview magazine type programme. Half the stuff on RTÉ is repeats, this is novel content that they own the rights to, why do they not use it?

Edit: Des on Newstalk with Pat Kenny now. He said that they did not have the rights to show games during the week, only Sunday night. The GAA need to look at this. They should encourage more coverage, for instance when UTV had a programme they couldn't proceed for lack of rights, the GAA should have encouraged them not stopped them.

Yeah I think rte are seriously missing a trick with this. Surely you'd get more viewers for a well run preview and highlights show every week than the usual rerun shite you have now.

It would only last a week so you'd probably stick it out for that length of time.

Joe Molloy is excellent on OTB

[Captain Obvious]

Des son can take over, looks just like him.

It's great to see all these old fogies gone. The Sunday Game has been stale for two decades at least.

Jackie Hurley really wanted the TSG job that Cantwell got. Now she does the rubby.
I think it would be better to get someone from outside RTE.

When he qualified himself to discuss the Hurling was my highlight.

I have no problem with the old fogies going but the problem is they are replacing them with boring robots. Its often not the pundits own fault though as they are constrained by what they are allowed to say without veering off script.

Oisin McConville, Aaron Kernan and Peter Canavan- 3 of the best to ever do it in their position and probably the 3 most knowledgable and straight talking pundits I've seen. Throw in Mugsy as well for a bit of craic.
