Does anyone have a good word for Tommy Lyons?

That would be Willie Hegarty. He is as mad as a box of brushes. His cummints on the radio on the day Longford played Clare, Leitrim played Monaghan and Roscommon played Offaly were so funny I almost forgot the tension I was experiencing. He is a cross between Andy Gray hyping some auld shite Premiership match and every mad bollox you've ever met.

From The Western People from a while back:

Shannonside radio commentator Willie Hegarty has established a very loyal 'fan' base for his commentaries on football matches around the region. While people are often quoting Micheal O Muircheartaigh and other well known broadcasters, there is no doubt that Roscommon's own Willie comes up with some remarkable humourous gems when in full flight.
He brings excitement and entertainment to his match commentaries and it is the entertainment 'factor' that has won him a sizeable audience, especially among female listeners, who enjoy the off-beat comparisons that light up his match coverage.
If Willie ever gets a chance on RTE, he will be an instant 'hit' because he is original, passionate, and highly entertaining. A winning combination any day.

On another matter I see Blessed Luke Dempsey has gone in with the elbows on the Mayo/Offaly/Dublin windbag Tommy Lyons.

Lyons claimed recently that Dublin had an easy run in Leinster last year and also slammed Longford for the 'Offaly-ken Casey-dropped point' saga. Lyons claimed it was the lowpoint of the league and blamed Longford. Even though Longford were told by the GAC (or whatever they go by now the ZZZ or the ABC or the CCC) that they HAD to lodge a formal appeal or else they would be setting a precedent.

Lyons also said that the opening live TV game should not be Longford v Westmeath which, more or less means, unless you are in the top 12 go along to be fucked.

I have been assigned the armchair role for this one so I will relay to the lads in Pearse Park the views of the panel on the telly.

Shannonside will, no doubt, be coming live from a Roscommon training session in Dr. Hyde Park

Won enough for a nice bottle of red!

Paul Williams back on now rehashing yesterday's dog's dinner.

Whatever about Williams the fact that this sc**bag, Fatpuss, had the rule of the airwaves "I deal in just a few aul horses" along with some of his scummy cronies is one of the lowest of low points for Joe Duffy, alongside his Bobby Robson humiliation.

The thing kicked off with Dublin long time SF stalward, Christy Burke, now canvessing for Mary 'Where's Gerry' Lou, ringing in with his gripe that Paul Williams was an anti-Shinner and was being "unfair". Williams came on and went on a rant (justified or not, you decide) on the IRA network in Dublin, docks heist, shielding paedophiles, intimidating good decent folk who wanted to speak out etc etc.

Burke soon got sidelined when 'Fatpuss' came on and soon Liveline sounded like Adrian Kennedys Late Night Phone Show with liberal usage of "fucks" and "cnuts" etc.

I am sure it's streamed on www.radio1.ie if ye can be bothered.

 Some Liveline today.

All the innerciddy villians ringing in slating Williams and making out their brudders etc to being one step away from sainthood. One villian even rang in from Portlaoise before the mobile was whipped offa him.

Depressing radio   

Why used the refill for a flask be more expensive then a new flask? Used to love tay that had brewed for a few hours in a flask. Almost made footin turf bearable.

Football: Leinster semi-final
Hurling: Final of Rackard Cup

The thought alright of Harnan, Foley and Lyons in a front line in Eye-Rack would frecken a horrid lock of Fundementalists.

Shur freckened a horrid lot of Dubs 

Good man Damaged piece a timber.

Please try and intall an early anti-Cork vibe in him.

I am also wary of an Armagh slant so split the difference, distance wise, and bring him up as a Longford man.

Could all the feckin Royals (no, not Meath folk) be sent out there.

I look forward to a night in Moate or Athlone after the Longford game

As do I.

In any such referendum the law requires that equal time be given to a contrary view, thanks to the little Green woman, Patricia McKenna.

Oh I am sure you'd get some to pontificate. The Sunday Indo Party perhaps!

Jesus Billy, even I don't remember that
