Mentioned it on the match thread yesterday, Flynn on radio 1 talking about derry's "great run through the qualifiers" - an away win against Waterford ffs  :o

Marty didn't disappoint with the "there are footballers in ......." when Lee Chin kicked the ball, he has been at that shite for 20 years +

Slightly off topic but Eamon O'Hara came out with a stinker on RTE radio1 when covering the match with Carty. After a Kerry player scored a point (may have been O'Donaghue) he said "like the postman, he always delivers."

It was great to hear Henry Shefflin saying the Kilkenny forwards are not up to scratch.

Gotta love the way Michael Lyster announced, twice, that the post match discussion continued on Facebook but didn't tell you which sodding page to go to... I tried RTÉ 2's page, RTÉ's sport page and The Sunday Game page and couldn't find anything.

Gave up trying to find it too, ridiculous. Amateur hour over there under Ryle Rugger Nugent.

Dessie stuttered a bit mid-sentence when making that utterance. I suspect he was worried if there was an associated innuendo to the expression, lucky for him he didn't say milkman instead of postman.

He must be taking lessons from Sidearse on the BBC

The tension does be fairly palpable in my house when I hear Marty is commentating.

Ger Canning is worse. I thought his flippant remark when there was real concern over Fionn Fitzgerald on Sunday was poor. "He'll have a bit of a headache in the morning". That was a nasty bang.

Surely was, could've done some serious damage to himself, great to see him able to lift the cup at the end. Canning is another dose but isn't too bad on shows like Seo Spoirt. Looks like we were spoilt for years with O'Hehir and Ó Muircheartaigh, surely to Christ though rte could come up with a better way to recruit their commentators. Then again I suppose they'd have to be arsed about their GAA output before that could happen.

Yep, find him even less bearable than Canning, and worse again on the radio if he's commentating there.

A continuous loop of him and Carr or Carney on commentary would be an effective torture technique I reckon.

Did you ever look at his twitter? He is a GAA fundamentalist. No other interests
