Mark Sidebottom

The pick of yesterday was when someone on about the 14 out on the wing tried to switch the play to the far side (cant remember who it was) - as soon as he kicked it Sidey exclaimed 'thats a great ball....[but as it became clear it mightn't be that good, he added the caveat] if [players name] gets it...'.

He didn't, it wasn't. It was actually a horrendous ball

Hadn't paid much attention to him till yesterday but he is terrible. I hate the nickname stuff.

But fair play to him for commentating the whole game, as it can't be easy been so far up Peter Canavans arse and still be able to see the game.

Lads he wasn't that bad, Marty and McStay were worse on the Dublin match. They are yet to call a ref's decision right and McStay's woowoawooh when Kildare scored the goal was just short of the type of favouritism you get watching British teams on ITV. As for the nicknames sure everybody calls Ricey Ricey, although Mugsy would be called a whole lot more!And sure there have been plenty of mad dogs in around Tyrone in the last few years.

Sidebottom: Sweet sweet sweet point under a lot of pressure there
Joe: That was not a point

"Players turn to face the national flag" - expect a few calls expressing outrage & nelson mccausland to burn his tv licence at the gates of stormont

If he was a river he would be the mississippi. WTF???

When describing the direction of the breeze he called it a "north, south,east, west breeze" while the flags are clearly going in one direction.

hsthompson · July 17, 2011, 05:05:42 PM

Surely Martin McHugh is even worse? I cannot bear him. He speaks 100mph and ALL of it is pure shite. He's usually looking to change rules too
