The Sunday Game

[Throw ball]

McEntee, McGinley and Jordan have been the shining lights of GAA analysis this year. That leaving cert thing must be a loads of balls.

McEntee always speaks well. McGinley was good on BBC. Jordan does not look comfortable yet - bit more experience required.

Is it too much to ask that RTE let Maloney and McStay do the final?
There was a noticeable lack of paddywhackery and mucksavagery during yesterdays commentary.

Thought that was a bit weird alright!!  Tony did well and knows his stuff.  Considering too it was his first time in the hot seat he looked fairly comfortable.   I wonder will the GAA be looking at the long term project here of changing the analysts and getting rid of the grumpy old men?

really? i thought he was biased in favour of Dublin all the way through the game.

I usually like Darragh Maloney, but I was annoyed at the way he kept mixing up Declan and Darran O'Sullivan, Darran and Donnacha Walsh, James O'Donoghue and Declan O'Sullivan etc etc. I wouldn't mind if it was some of the younger lads too much, but Jaysus them lads are on the go a long time at the top level.

Thought the analysis this afternoon was once again a disgrace.
Tyrone minors were torn apart at half time, we were told by Spillane that the Tyrone template no longer works ( well that's another All Ireland final reached) so must be doing something right. Think that's five minor finals since 2000.
Secondly during the Senior game. Prior to throw in and at half time (Tyrone) were again mentioned for negative tactics, f**k me they weren't even playing in the game, and had no need to be mentioned.
Brolly then at the end goes on to wax lyrical about Dublin playing pure and non cynical football (the game was a joy no doubt) - however he made no mention of the most cynical incident in the game, when Johnny Cooper tripped Colm Cooper when going through for a score. It was as bad as the Cavanagh incident but you won't hear a word about it.

The anti Tyrone agenda is shocking, why are Tyrone mentioned during a Dublin v Kerry game?
Hope our minors show that the Template is still alive and well!!

what you're seeing is a changing of the guard.


The senior all-ireland will be won by either of two teams who don't have a blanket defence.

Systems are changing and philosophies are changing.

Donegal will be back next year.

What complete and utter nonsense!

Ah sure ignorance is bliss Screen. Indiana is giddy with excitement following yesterdays match (and so he should be) so we can't expect him to be fully objective here. Like most things in life there is very little black and white, Dublin and Kerry both play blanket defence the same as most other teams. There is a spectrum with teams like Tyrone at one end and then Dublin, and the odd time, Kerry at the other. This gap isn't huge yet certain individuals in the media would have us believe that it's the width of the grand canyon.

Moreover Indy eulogised the one on one marking yesterday which was rubbish as there were loads of occasions where 'pack' defending disposed/stopped the relevant forward. See Nally's pics over on the match thread.

A great game yesterday and fair play to both teams. Will be a great final.

Forgot to record the live game and my God is the RTE player annoying or what - frozen on a feckin ad for Ariel for the last 20 mins!!

[Captain Obvious]

Pretty sure Captain Obvious is McEntee after he alluded to Monaghan's minors 'over-celebrating' their Ulster win. Either that or the Captain is directing him behind the scenes via a hidden microphone.

Great minds think alike and both of us were right. Monaghan showed the signs of celebration against Tipperary and if they only managed twelve points against Tyrone then they would have lost the Ulster final by eight points.

Wankers !!
Had a family function to attend to today so I switched the phone off to avoid the score and watch the Sunday Game as if it was 3.30 all over again.
