Very much so ger

I actually think Martin Carney is an excellent co commentator. Knows his stuff. Knows the players. Knows the game. What exactly are people looking for in a co commentator?

The Trap

If Martin Carney didn't think the game was going to be like this he hasn't a clue

He is the worst I've ever heard and today he's worse than usual. He doesn't need to tell us the same thing ten times. We can see that Dublin are dominant and Tyrone are very poor. It's like he's taped himself and it's playing on repeat.

A f**king dose do he is. Best thing RTÉ could do is offer a red button option to mute him.

Excellent analysis there by Brolly. When he concentrates on the game and not the other nonsense, he's really good.

Still not as bad as Dick Clerkin as co-commentator on SKY.

The Sunday Game panel glossed over the Colm Cavanagh incident tonight with Brian McGuigan describing it as "irreverent"
It was a blatant kick to his opponent and a sending off offence.

Agree scummy cowardly attack.

McGuigan said much the same when donaghy grabbed the Galway full back by the throat.
Just to save Donaghy ,as he has Tyrone blood.

I don't mind his analysis except that he talketh way too much, in excess. He would need to cut out 90% of his verbiage before my nerves could chill out. In regards to Martin Carney, the adage "less is more" never rang more true.

I didn't see the Sunday game tonight but read elsewhere they signed off with the song,

"TOTAL ECLIPSE OF THE HARTE"

A coincidence or a bit of belly rubbing for mickey Harte for no interviews?

While at the same time zooming in x1000 to see AOS standing on Donaghys toe as excuse for the puck in the mouth
Excuse me for talking while you're trying to interrupt me

McGuigan started the case for the defence of Harte stating a 'county board faction' and some people in Tyrone wanted him to go. His only defence was who would want to come in to replace Mickey Harte.

Are you taking the piss?
He might have knowledge but whenever he opens his mouth he certainly doesn't show it.
He certainly does not know the players. He gets their names wrong on an astoundingly regular basis. Actually a lot of the boys on RTE do.
There was a passage of play, maybe a Tyrone kickout (there were a lot of those) when Carney tried to make a point but stuttered, farted, spluttered and tripped over his words for about 7seconds and it ended up a mutter in the end. The man is absolutely dreadful. Plus the tone of his voice is nauseating.
