Pet was doing a fair bit of knee toucing of Whelan
Des's hair will soon get its own show - it's unreal. How is it so black and the hoor the wrong side of 50?
He can't do outside broadcasts in case the rain causes an oil slick... Morrissey isn't 100% natural either by the looks of him.

Whelans accent is annoying..

He obviously dips the head into a barrel of inkbefore the show.

There be's rows from time to time between himself and Marty back in the green room as to who dips the head first. Saw Marty in a car show room in Belfast once. The sales guy asked him what colour he was thinking of and i'm nearly sure Marty said "touch of gray" (R)

You can sing that.
If you were any use you'd be playing.

Why are they showing (Late on a Sunday night) a mini documentary on Leitrim winning a Connacht title in 1994? Are they afraid to give time to the games that did not get live coverage?

To make way for a feature on cynicism in football...

Why would you want to see the games when you can listen to McStay and Spillane talking shite.

Probably the best bit on the Sunday game tonight, they should show moments like that more often.
The key to success is to be consistently competitive -- if you bang on the door often it will open

G that crossmaglen accent a strange one but aside from that he`s impeccable dressed

Missed the games today so didn't want to know scores. Pre Dublin meath they advertise Meath Laois qualifier.

That and probably about a third of scores in games shown due to 1994 and big amount of crap being talked - poor show.

Don't know whats wrong with people, mcstay is a top pundit, fairly good to listen to. Spillane adds nothing to the table

imtommygunn

Mcstay is far from a top pundit.

McStay loves Kildare, he's bought into the hype.

Can barely remember the last time RTE produced a proper GAA documentary, they do a five minute interview segment with a few former and current players and then thrown on extended highlights of the AI final at Christmas and call it a documentary but that's about it. There was a decent one going behind the scenes of Croke Park on AI final day but that had little to do with the sport itself.

I know TG4 do some good documentaries but would it really be that hard for RTE to do something like what America's Game (chronicling a season of a team through a rapid mixture of interviews and quick-cut highlights and archive footage of different angles, not just offering up the tv broadcast in repeat) for gaelic football? Even the TG4 stuff are as static as a headstone, there's just no verve to them at all.

The sad part is RTE already did a fantastic job of exactly that type of documentary with Reaching for Glory, which told the story of the Irish rugby team's 2007 season.
