You can't beat the local commentators. Contrast Ger Canning with Midlands Radio 3 Gerry Russell on that goal from last year.

If you were any use you'd be playing.

Was it the audio or the video you didn't like Jinxy?

Ah in fairness now, you can't really compare someone on a local station, with someone on the national broadcaster, who has to appear neutral all the time. I'm no fan of Canning, but the local lad has the freedom to go bat shit crazy when a goal is scored, that someone on RTE doesn't. They'll be accused of bias if they get too excited.

Go back to the point of the impression that if they weren't being paid to be there, they'd be there watching anyway. I don't think MOM or MOH were ever accused of bias.

One of the best bits was, among the joy and hollering of WM getting the goal to go 4 points up deep into injury time, there was still the "...but it's not over yet", because of the hoors they were playing

Are you joking me? It's been a long time since Meath had the they are never beaten tag. They now have the we never have a game won tag!  ;D

From a westmeath perspective what Hound said is true. Even when Westmeath should have beaten Meath in the past they couldn't get over the line. That All Ireland QF back in 2002 or 2003 was brutal.

2001?

Maybe. I thought it was later.
