McStay is the best com-commentator in football or hurling.

I'm not sure Kevin's hurling knowledge would be the best to be honest.

K-Mac can do anything he sets his mind to.

He stroked his wedding ring like gollum last night as his prostate twitched with delight at setting his anti dub agenda loose

Whelan has no balls and is obviously enjoying his new payday

Think you're being a bit harsh, would be very easy for Whelan to get a reputation of being blinkered towards Dubs if he tries fight their corner too much.  He's still relatively early in the job and just trying to set an appearance of being as objective as possible, unlike Mc Stay who was very obvious in his bias last night. There was the Philly Mc Mahon headbutt instance where he used the attempt to headbutt as a straight red yet was ignoring the fact that O' Shea attempted to strike Mc Mahon in another incident and that's a red too  ;D

Whelan had an opportunity to express an opinion on the Connolly incident and McMahon etc, but instead decided to sit there like Mr Potatoe head and let brigadier mc stay set out his Mayo top trumps

McStay played for Ballymun Kickhams ffs lads, he hardly has an anti-Dublin agenda.

Did a good impression of one last night.

The simple answer is for RTE to try and get the sky panel across to The Sunday game, lock stock...

The only one worth keeping would be ML.

Analysis v gossip.

Tyrone people have a bias against the sunday game. Sunday evenings show illustrates that there is no agenda against tyrone from the sunday game. They highlighted a number of incidents and called for retrospective action. I think Ciaran Whelan is excellent and is improving all the time in the role.

::) ::)

They didn't call for any apologies for far bigger indiscretions than in the Tyrone-Monaghan, namely Coopers. They didn't drag up Dublin's past incidents of biting and brawls which have all taken place under Gavin's tenure in the past three years. They talk about these things following Dublin around like a bad smell.

They talked about the incidents and in many ways excused them, "Johhny Cooper is not that type of player", this is the guy who collapsed, deliberately, into a prone man on the ground with his knees. Whelan was the guy who asked Tiernan McCann to apologise, a clear case of double standards that he didn't think Philly McMahon had any case to answer yesterday. They talked about the main incidents yesterday, their analysis in the Tyrone Monaghan game was picking out minor incidents to have a go at Cavanagh, one where he was kicked in the back.

Funnily enough, they mentioned nothing about Cillian O'Connor being the first player over in front of the match officials every time jump and gesticulating at them over what action they should be taking. Just imagine it was Sean Cavanagh who did that, if you look hard enough at any of the big teams in the big game then you'll find as much, if not more dirt on them than you would Tyrone.

Some of these teams are now starting to copy some of the tyrone tactics and when it gets to the stage that all teams do it the game will be unwatchable and impossible to referee.

None of this is new.

That means he is even more anti-Dub or it doesn't mean anything. Lots of Dub haters play in Dublin.

McStay, along with McGee are the most anti-Dublin humans on the planet, McStay should resign from the Sunday game from his agenda on Sunday, or should be sacked, agenda drive, anti Dublin bias. McGee is worse, the rest of them are alright though.

Just remember the Sunday game is a t.v show, its not the GAA or CRC etc.

f**king hell, you got off nearly scot-free on Sunday night. Given the number of unsavoury incidents Dublin have been involved in now it was crying out for the sort of bashing Tyrone got but nothing about bad smells or calling for public apologies. Whelan's complete double standards in looking for McCann to apologise and dismissing McMahon's out of hand, his mealy mouthed excuse for Cooper who committed the biggest act of thuggery this season and in the season before as "not in his nature" when 2 games ago he produced a similar nasty act where he collapsed with his knees onto a prone John Heslin.

McMahon's two punches to Boyle's head didn't even get a mention.

It would seem both teams were at it and I agree that O'Connor should be getting a ban as while it was understandable his arms would flail when impeded and fouled, he did in with such force that he was intending to cause damage. But neither side have had their reputation bashed or torn to shreds, their past transgressions have been ignored in the context of this. What this proved was the Sunday Game have an obvious agenda in place and the double standards from Whelan was scandalous if not expected.

I agree about Whelo, he was poor Sunday night and shouldn't had let the most bias human McStay slander one of the great defenders on the modern era. I hear he has been given an ultimatum, resign or make a public apology, only time will tell what he will do.

McStay, but im joking of course, he has been like that for years in studio and co commentary, one match sticks out v Kildare a few years back when Dublin got a late free to win it, he let out huge moan groaning noise saying you cant give frees with seconds to go, blatant free, Dubs won, he was sick.
