The Sunday Game

[thewobbler]

Less is more with pundits.

Eamon, Oisin and either Rory/Colm would be enough to get a proper discussion going.

Gooch is useless. There's no need for a ladies footballer.

She has most research done and knowledge among the pundits tonight.

Sure get a journalist in then.

They do research and know the game.

Plenty of the national journalists struggle with the correct spelling of names of players outside of Kerry,Dublin and Mayo.

Sorry, did the Dublin lady pass a spelling test that I wasn't aware of?

She has as much right to be sitting there as someone from a league of Ireland team.

[An Watcher]

All looks a bit awkward, 6 of them sitting in a semi circle looking at each other

[screenexile]

I have no problem with the female perspective just don't know why they need 6 people there.

If she was doing badly as a pundit you might have a point.

[smort]

She has spoke better than the two colms and rory

[Sportacus]

Why do they need 6 people on the panel tonight

Two Kerry's tonight and one Kerry earlier. Yet no one from Galway. How can you give fair analysis with that type of representation.

Token broad has to be factored in too

The one who's a medical doctor and has five All Ireland's.

Not sure how being a medical professional is relevant.

Really not sure how winning trophies in a completely different completion is relevant.

Just calling out the shitty term "broad".  She's a top class person in every sense and is adding to the panel.

Not sure how being a woman is relevant - she can watch the game and analyse just as well as the next person.

[thewobbler]

And that's my point.

If all we want is someone to research and speak well, get in a journalist.

Don't pretend to me that someone who played ladies football has the right to be sitting among all Ireland winners, discussing the all Ireland final on national tv.

[Gael80]

Good show tonight, they dealt with that free discussion well I thought, even introducing a bit of humour to it, best linking it to another free. I'm sure there isn't much humour in the Galway camp over it though, it led to Kerry's late surge. You could sense the awkwardness in the studio with the two Kerry lads there.

[Mayo Border]

So will Dublin Des circle his panel and solemnly ask each one "Will Galway win the All Ireland next year"

Haven't watched clip again, was the initial 'tackle' around the neck like someone said earlier?

She has spoken as well if not better than most on the panel why shouldn't she be there? Who makes the rules on that? What right does having an All Ireland medal give you to commentate on a game?

Communication skills and voicing your opinion eloquently is much more important in that scenario rather than medals won!

Then what's stopping you from being on?

Some shocking attitudes here

But it's not. 30 seconds of Rory Gallagher describing pitch invasions and a county getting behind their team from an internal perspective, is great to listen to.

The Dublin girl can't do that. She could talk perfect sense for four hours straight but cannot produce nuggets like that.

[ONeill]

You want people on who see things you don't, and aren't afeard to express it.

Oisin, McGinley, Brolly and Spillane have it.

The rest you can sort of predict their answers.
