The Sunday Game

[Jinxy]

I can imagine Indy in a Tom Carr style co-commentary role.

IF Sky and RTÉ had to pick panels exclusively from posters on here, who do you think they would pick?

My guess:

Sky:

(From) Croí, brokencrossbar, J70, Jinxy, AZOffaly


RTÉ:

Indiana, Syferus, Stew.

Anyone else?

I can see you chairing the discussion muppet in a little black number and a blonde wig

'The fact that Tommy Carr is making money from commentating gives me hope of one day becoming an astronaut..' Jack McCaffrey, hardly known for being sensationalist, tweets what we all think. Any chance RTE Sport might consider opinion of his fellow Dub and current Footballer Of The Year.

Carr is a poor analyist. I can see why he wasn't a  success as manager with Dublin,  Roscommon  and Cavan. Luckily Tipperary didn't appoint him as manager last year  ☺I thought he was very bias against Mayo last Sunday too.

RTE would definitely have Tony as the new Spillane, they'd probably also use him on the soccer as the new Dunphy and on the Rugby as the new Hook such is the depth of his knowledge and talent.

Tony could present the angelus after it.

After announcing himself as the winner of the 5-night trip to New York with $1000 spending money.

On the general subject of media/games promotion, I have to say recent campaigns by sponsors like Lidl (ladies GAA), AIB (club championship) and AIG (the Dubs) have really shown up RTE for the lack of effort they put in to 'selling' our games in a modern, engaging way.

This AIG feature with Denis Bastick is brilliant and I think a lot of the ageing warriors of the board will identify with him.

Mad man. Chin ups are tough enough without adding more bleeding weight.

[Jinxy]

Fair play to Bastick, he's in some shape.
I remember a game years ago where he was on his back after a tackle and he did this kind of ninja flip back up onto his feet.
Are himself & Cluxton the last surviving members of Pillar's regime?

it was the AI final v Kerry in 2011

B Brogan played in Pillar's time too

[Jinxy]

Yeah, I had it in my head Pillar left in 2006 for some reason.

Frair play to Bastick, he's in some shape.

Connolly, Flynn, Andrews and Philly all given championship debut by Pillar in 07/08. O'Gara played a couple league games in that time

[Jinxy]

Think Andrews started out as a corner back, didn't he?

[AZOffaly]

Think Andrews started out as a corner back, didn't he?

Paddy Andrews? I know Peadar Andrews was a back, but I always thought Paddy was a forward.

[Hound]

Paddy played in the forwards at minor and U21 for Dublin. Moyna at DCU thought him better as a corner back so played him there in Sigerson. It was only the once or twice he played there under Pillar I think. I remember him getting sent off while playing there (along with at least one other) in a league game in Parnell Pk against Meath.
