He's not really blessed with much of a sense of humour tbh. Obviously very capable guy just not on a humour level.

If anyone in RTE is reading this, Cavanagh ain't an analyst, best to be left off for the future.  Couldn't believe it when he came on today, surely you assemble your best panel for an All Ireland Final, that definitely wasn't it today by a long way.

I don't like Cavanagh as an analyst but Spillane shouldn't have been there if it's based on punditry skills or more importantly since he had skin in the game.

Similarly on Sky, Donaghy shouldn't have been there. Too many Kerry in the media.

Switched to Sky after Cavanagh's comment on Paddy Russell and Dublin.

I'd say you are only saying that...not a bit of you switched over...

Well done Paddy Tally...it took a Tyrone man to go down there and sort their team out for them ..

I only watched RTE for a short time before Sky started their coverage and i thought cavanagh was a disgrace. First he tried to pick a fight with Spillane over which point was better, O'Sheas or Rian O'neill's when in actual fact anyone with an ounce of wit knows they were both superb points under pressure. Then he made a snide, childish and distasteful comment about Dublin's 1995 winning team. He should not be allowed near a tv studio again.

Yes, could Cavanagh please follow Spillane out the door please.

I did actually. Could listen to Canavan all day. McGuinness not far behind. Even Donaghy a massive upgrade on RTÉ panel.

It wasn't specifically because of that one comment; just the realisation there were likely to similarly banal ones throughout the analysis. And life's short enough.

Though there were times during the game that I had to turn back to RTÉ as Sky picture was dropping. But that was ok because Darragh moloney was commentating.

There were definite and persistent problems on Sky, they even had the onscreen apology message. I had to switch to RTE as it was unwatchable

I think Sean will improve with Spillane not there. He seemed too concerned with trying to wind him up and I think it started to grate with even Pat by the end.
I wanna have my kicks before the whole shithouse goes up in flames.

You'd get better analysis from a 12 year old child than cavanagh. He thinks he's funny and seems to be thinking of what would provide a laugh to his mates rather than actually thinking about the game. He comes across as extremely immature and unlikeable. He's not funny at all and his analysis is pathetic so I'm not sure why he's there.

I don't think he has the right personality for the role he's just not watchable...

Along with that do we need 6 opinions on the game today?? Surely 3-4 is plenty?
