Whelan and O'Se and Cavanagh are on TSG because they played the game at the highest level and were some of the greatest performers of all time [well, except Whelan  ;)  ]

Valerie Mulcahy has not done so and does not therefore have the same entitlement to comment authoritatively.

She has 10 All Irelands and 6 All Stars. But yeah, she hasn't played at the top level.

Not in the sport she is analysing though.

Racism, Sectarianism, Chauvenism. They're familiar bedfellows. It must always be challenged and called out.

Some people here should think about that.

Some of ye must not have daughters because if you did you would surely be glad to see a sports woman centre stage having an opinion and inspiring other young girls to play sport and to speak up.

I remember the coverage of the golf in the Irish Open a few years ago, it was anchored by a well known RTÉ lady ( who shall remain nameless) , a car crash of the highest order, still can't get it out of my mind. There would have been thousands of club golfers around the country who could have done a competent job.
And yes, I do have a daughter.

Was this because she was a woman or just nervous on the job?

Next thing people will be outraged about the lack of women managers of men's county teams. A bit like the lack of black managers in English soccer  ::)

I thought Valerie Mulcahy did alright and its good to see new faces/voices on the Sunday game. Joe Brolly,Pat Spillane are well past their sell by date at this stage and can arguably be said their style of punditry was never suited to Gaelic football.
Is the ref going to finally blow his whistle?... No, he's going to blow his nose

Thought she was very poor but it might have just been the nerves. Deserves another shot.

None of the above, she just hadn't a clue about golf.
