Wide Wide Wide, it's a goal

Brilliant for Port to be heading to Croke Park. What a buzz there is around the town this week!

[Keyser Söze]

Isn't Russell a Laois man? He seems to have a long history of being biased against us....years ago it was Offaly and Vinny Claffey/The Millinnnnnneeeeium Man.
He appears to have moved onto Westmeath in more recent times!

A Clonaslee man I believe.

Another wonder point from John Heaslin😭😭 Gerry Russell at his best.

What's the story with the games in Croke Park. Will tickets be on general sale for it?

[SpeculativeEffort]

Give Gerry a break lads. It the likes of Gerry with his unique style and others like him that make local radio far more entertaining than the national broadcaster with their dull, bland non committal phrases. Long live the local radio commentators of Ireland and long live Gerry Russell. Absolutely!

[Laois man]

You mean his own style shur he loves offaly and westmeath. 🤣

Couldn't agree more! Gerry Russell or Ger Canning??

Agreed on the local commentators. The likes of Jack Nolan, Joe Troy (even for an Offaly man!), Killian Whelan, Liam Spratt etc are brilliant. I just can't agree on Gerry though. He can't describe a game at all and last Sunday his bias towards Lomans was a disgrace for a radio station that is supposed to cover both of the counties involved in the game in question.

Ger Canning is nothing but a dose, I can't bear to watch a game he is commentating on.  Every second sentence is "back once again" or "back once more", constant use of stupid words like, impishly, niftly, latitude.
Should have been retired in the 90's.

Seamus Mulhare refereeing Naas semi final on RTE next Saturday. Double head with Port game.

Canning is a dose alright, unless it's The Munster Hurling Championship, he really shouldn't be commentating. He looks down his nose at every other championship, a right prude.

As for Russell, he's tough to listen to, but not as bad as canning.

The only RTE commentator half decent is Darragh Moloney, can make a poor game half entertaining.

All about personal choice. I wouldn't be a big fan of Maloney, not mad about the sound of his voice. Maybe it's too much fittest family. I think some of the Radio 1 commentators are much better. I like Adrian Eames and Pauric Lodge.
