QuoteCanavan is doing very well this year for BBC and could see him being offered a regular slot with RTE. If he takes it or not is another thing.


Is Canavan not a pundit on TV3?

Was last year. Works with BBC this year. Maybe TV3 as well?

Canavan is/has been on TV3 and is excellent in my view. Would agree with squire there except for the last bit. I think RTE are limited and Des Cahill annoys me (though he is obviously way better at the job than his predecessor). RTE's commentators with the passable exception of Moloney are simply shit. Also, haven't seen Whelan enough to comment.

I suppose if its one thing the football lads over the hurling lads is they create talking points.

The hurling pundits would knock you to sleep. They are cat altogether.
They get momentum, they go mad, here they go

In fairness to Des Cahill he let Brolly and Davis go at it..... if that hada been Spillane he would have been buttin in and would have ruined the whole thing. You have to laugh at Brolly....... if u didn't the TV would be out the window.

In fairness, Tony Davis won an all ireland final single handedly.

Just a pity he won it for Derry!!

Some posters probably don't know the story of what happened Davis that week imho he deserves great credit for even lining out.

I wouldn't have been there if it were me.

RTE need a complete clear out of pundits. Canavan is very good, spot on with his reading of a game and doesn't try to hard to be funny. Conor Deegan is on Newstalk and is also very good and Senan Connell on TV3 isn't bad.

I don't see why they have to be ex players either. Kieran Shannon who used to write for the Tribune used to provide excellent analyis on a weekly basis.

Both TV3 and Newstalk have Liam Hayes for some reason, he is a good talker but it is generally crap.

Bertie would be a good laugh. Even better with a sozzled former colleague beside him arguing.

If Spillane and Brolly though people were annoyed at them, imagine how they would react to Bertie.

We should start a petition.
