The Sunday Game

[James Gatz]

Martin Carney and Darragh Maloney should be on commentary for the final, both very good. TSG should be getting on more people like Ciaran Whelan who actually know a bit about the modern game and don't waffle on about nonsense. Spillane is a very poor analyst who thinks he can get away with a few sweeping statements backed up by a couple of random facts (he loves to quote which forwards have scored). In my opinion, the best analysts tell you what you don't already know and give you a different insight into the game that makes you interested. Most Sunday Game analysts, especially Spillane, McStay and Davis don't. There should be a radical revamp of the Sunday Game in my view as a lot of the analysts and the time give to the coverage of each game throughout the earlier rounds of the Championship is of a very poor standard.

Anyone catch "Up for the match" on Saturday night? I think I'll download it for the laugh. I'm hoping it's still as bad as ever.

How could RTE label that 5 minute aside last night at the end of the show as a preview of the AIF? Donegal apparently get players back and Mayo have a decent midfield, that was about it and some chuckling about sheep, farcical.

I particularly liked the continuity between what the analyst was saying and the video clips being shown  . You'd swear that they threw it together in the 10 minutes before the show.

I know the lads that quit the game years ago get plenty of slagging for being out of touch, but i've always thought that yer man dessie dolan was a bit of a spoofer considering he's a current player, like a future tony davis almost. Just sits up with a smily head on him saying nothing of note

In fairness to Dessie, he has played for Donegal in the New York Championship. So he knew something about one of the two teams in the final.

aye, seen he was out in boston playing with cass and the lads.

Say it again, mcstay is hard to beat, i think people are starting to realise that now. Hope martin carney is doing the game as well

Ye won't have much of that gib when he single-handedly unseats the Power Rangers in deep mid-winter.

I switched it off when Davis said that "Mayo would have to play well to beat Donegal"...................Christ on a bike, brutal stuff.

I think it is a shame that the GAA have given the rights to TV3 for the minor final.  TV3 cannot be picked up on Sattelite TV in the North, and most people in the north cannot get it on analogue either.  When analogue is done away with next month then absolutely nobody in the North will get TV3.  Will they still be given matches?
