The Sunday Game

What a wonderful and rare glimpse into the knowledgeable depths of Dessie Dolan's intellect. In this preface to the Mayo Derry game he explains on live TV in crystal clear fashion why he expects Mayo to win. Among the reasons were the fact that Keith Higgins got sent off the previous week, while Colm Boyle was demoted to the bench that day. Relevance to the Derry game which was about to commence I hear you ask? You won't understand because you haven't been blessed with Dessies superior insight. His eloquence of speech is up there with Joyce and his tangled masterpiece Ulysses. You didn't understand that either did you? He goes on to the subject of Aidan O'Shea and reveals that there are many questions surrounding the man. For obvious reasons he doesn't actually go into Aidan's questions but further explains that there are wider questions about the Mayo team. Such brilliant ability as a punter, what a masterstroke by RTE to have procured his services, it enhanced the whole experience. I eagerly await the next installment Saturday evening.

Good man Dessie. Brilliant stuff

The man is not too swift, that is for sure.
I am beginning to believe that RTE couldn't give a sh*te about what they dish out in relation to gaelic football. Hurling is pretty decent, if you can mute Marty and Ger doing the commentary.

Yeah not one for conspiracy theories but watching RTE and the utter dreck they are putting out I'm reminded of the line from James Bond  "Once is happenstance. Twice is coincidence. The third time it's enemy action"

When you look at all the various issues around RTE and football, a lot of the time it's hard to shake the notion that it's not enemy action, when you have inept commentators and pundits who have been in situ for years.

Rte have the same set up in soccer. 3 miserable aul b**tards gurning for this last 20 odd years.

Their head of sport has no balls.

Oh, he's got balls alright, oval shaped ones.

Given they've lost most of the rugby that joke is well past its sell-by date.

In fairness to the soccer boys, they've had about twelve years of hoof ball to put up with. How do you analyse the same rubbish differently from game to game?

[Targetman]

Ah no, Dessie Dolans' on co commentary!!

[armaghniac]

The Sunday game graphic video preview designer is a lunatic.

No harm to see someone trying something different.

Some crowds at the hurling this year.

Brendan Cummins was excellent today with Marty for the Munster Final.

[Main Street]

Marty was excellent, he was pitch perfect.

[Kilkevan]

Henry waited in the long grass to get Donal Og for trying to show him up on The Sunday Game a few years ago but when he got him he got him good!

[tonto1888]

There is some difference between the football and the hurling pundits

[ONeill]

Far too nice though.

One of them even looks like a woman!

What's this bollocks with camogie players on every week now ?

[OgraAnDun]

RTE pundit in complaining that RTE don't have all GAA games shocker.


Whatever your views on the Sky deal, the place to air those views is not on one of the two broadcasters' highlight show.

Seriously - there's about 40 people at the game, why are they wasting time showing a game nobody has interest in, when the weekend was packed of top level hurling and football games.
