Great show Marty,
Well done with your panel of Kevin, Cian, & Kieran,
Hope to see more of them on your show again.
Aye, I enjoyed that alright. Short, to the point and didn't try to make it too magaziney.
Same awful low budget show as last year hosted by an annoying little sh*t
Enjoyed this myself, though would like to see someone other than Marty Morrissey present it!
Why haven't RTE made an approach to bring Dara O'Cinneide on board? He should be presenting the Sunday Game also in my opinion.
Enjoyed it bar Marty of course....................cian ward spoke well on the SJ affair, bar the banging off the chest and pointing at the american eagle crest on his top ;)
Yeah agree about Cian Ward....didn't know Meath men did articulate! ;)

Spends 99 percent of his time in Dublin ;)................................. civilization found in some parts
Ach leave Marty alone. We need something for the housewives.
Sex sells.
He's not human, just can't be.
awk, jeees, martys a great fella, sound. cut him a bit of slack ffs, there is an AWFUL lot worse out there, seems to be a proper GAA man as well
He's still better than Ger Canning.
Everyone is better than Ger Canning :D
This show was better than I expected. Hope it continues like that.
I saw him chillaxin' outside the stand at the Hyde before the Galway game. I was too wracked with nerves to actually approach my pint-sized hero.
martys my hero too, for no particular good reason, other than seeming to be a good chap. Kieran Mc Geeney has been relegated (unfairly) due to the seanie johnstone affair.
RTE have obviously tried to replicate Seo Spoirt. Central presenter with 3 knomledgable guests. Looking forward to the next episode.
Don't try and make this look more professional.
Only got round to watching this last night.
It was actually pretty good.
Good panel, interesting topics, minimal Marty.
They need to keep that formula.

+1
Cian Ward put his points across very well.
In fairness to Cian he's a very articulate lad and doesn't speak in soundbites or cliches.
I just wish he'd stick the ball over the bar a bit more often!
Credit where credit's due...just got around to watching the latest show..very good...McEnaneny was excellent...keep it up Marty..
BTW anyone else hear him calling Craig Dias "Cameron" last Sunday??? I thought Bernie Flynn was gonna choke ;D
Where was Sean cavanagh?im getting sick of pat mc Eneaney,he loves himself

Yeah, heard that 5 Sams, fecking ejiot is Marty and he thought he had gotten away with it till Flynn pulled him up. Wouldn't take much to get Flynn excited, thoughts of "Cameron Diaz coming through the middle" must have sent his pulse up a few notches.
Championship Matters isn't as bad as I feared. Now if they could only change the presenter.

Aye, Sean would have made a refreshing change from that point of view ::)
They did a great piece on the late Kieran McGurk in fairness
The small man has redeemed our race
It's a good idea to have a referee view but they all went for Galway

That show was excellent tonight.
Anthony mcintyre spoke the truth there tonight and didn't hold back; great insight. Ye could also listen all night to brendan cummins; great hurler and he commands respect.
Marty to Jason Ryan "should Conor Mortimer be invited back on to the Mayo panel for this All Ireland final" ???
Great analysis there....ffs, shocking. 30 mins of my life I'll never get back
Such shit. No disrespect to con houlahan but with 30 mins to discuss the ai final could that 10 minute tribute not have been done another time, like 6 weeks ago. The analysis - Donegals corner back runs unchallenged to the half way line, meets an opponent turns around and hand passes backwards. Amazing.
Galvin had a pair of pink kacks on and Jason Ryan looked like he was dying for the gick of death........poor stuff
A shocking attempt at previewing the biggest game of the year. As someone said the tribute should have been done at another time. There was no life about the show or no build up of the game at all. No in depth look at where it would be won or lost. No look back at how the teams got to the final or clips from around the counties. RTE could do so much more to build up the game - don't seem to have any interest, strange given the ratings it gives them.
I know nothing about making a TV show but I am certain I could do a better job organising that show with only zig and zag as host and guest. Terrible.

I was listening to Newstalk previewing the final with David Brady, Colm Parkinson and yer man Moyles from Meath.
A great discussion, funny in places but they also got into the possible tactics as well as the mental side of things in an All-Ireland final, referencing their own experiences (well, not Parkinson!).
Then I had the misfortune to turn on RTE2. Absolutely shocking stuff. It was neither light-hearted nor in-depth, it offered nothing. A complete waste of airtime. Montrose haven't a fcking clue what people want to see.

Agreed.
The show last night was insufferable.
Billy Keane had me reaching for the remote to turn it off.
was it a hankerchief or a red card in Galvin's top pocket?
He really has become a curious specimen ???

Just came in here to say the exact same thing happened to me! I was listening to Off the Ball, was absolutely excellent and someone said Championship Matters is on now as well. Went out to watch it, what a load a absolute shite. The Off the Ball lads are way ahead of anything else that is out there at the moment.

This is way way better than what was served up on Championship matters. It's not rocket science rte.

Why can't RTE simply do an English version of this?
Watched CM. I don't know what the purpose of the two different segments were? The first was on Con Houhinan, who now has passed away quite a while ago. (No disrespect to the man but) Why was this covered this weekend. If it was maybe a Dublin/Kerry final which he was greatly associated with then ok. Then we had the story of the Mayo 50/51 team. Yawn, and i am from Mayo. Then in the studio we have no representative journalist/player/manager/chancer from Ulster or Connacht. I often feel that provincial panelists will have a closer knowledge of their neighbours. Anyway dead rubber!

Arrah stop that craic. She was the best analyst of the lot, better than a lot of RTE's permanent ones.
Shane Lowry's off the Christmas card list, anyways.
In 'de quizz' last night, Brian Carroll was asked which Offaly hurler, as well as Johnny D, won an allstar in 2000. BC coolly answered "the great John Troy" and the answer was accepted as correct.
John T didn't win an allstar in 2000. Nor did any other Offaly hurler bar Johnny D.
So. Was the piece edited? Carroll didn't appear to the thrown by the question. Did Carroll get the 'answer' wrong but got credit for it? Or did BC interject, the cameras stopped rolling and then restarted?

Im moving my electricty to Bord Gais
The show is called "championship matters", if it matters so much why spend so little time talking about it? The show is 30 mins long. This weekend we have a feast of football with 4 top 1/4 finals on at the business end of the season - there is no need for filler, just discuss the games. But no, what does this idiotic program do, dedicates the first 10 minutes to a piece and a discussion on how much money teams spend on preparation. Totally pointless and even if it weren't the piece and discussion were wishy washy anyway. Then we watch Aidan o Shea take up 5 minutes answering GAA questions. Boom - half the show gone and not a word about the games this weekend. Finally we get the same old analysis of the games ahead with none of the guests having anything too inciteful to say, in fact if I headed down the local there would be more debate. I could sumarise it as follows. Owne Mulligan thinks Tyrone will win because he is from Tyrone. Kerry will win because there hasnt been a peep out of them this year. Donegal and Mayo almost brought a bit of debate - almost. Monaghan are on cloud 9 and wont be down in time for the match. Depends which Cork team turns up to play Dublin (I suppose they dont want to accidentally send their minors)
Why do I bother watch anything RTE do around GAA?
I don't need another show or publication filled with simple match previews. Whatever about execution they have the right idea.
Its pathetic is what it is, i'm not watching it again. Half hour is too short, everything is rushed. They just don't have a clue and have no desire to give GAA enthusiasts what they want.
Could Owen Mulligan be anymore bias towards Tyrone, jebus..

It's a magazine show so it combines filmed segments, interviews and discussions on topics effecting the sport. If anything the parts where they directly preview matches with an in-studio panel is the part that doesn't belong in that format. It's trying to do too much.

What it is, is a big pile of shite.
Imagine football focus, on the day before the FA cup final, having half the show dedicated to a bizarre topic like the amount of money being spent of transfers? Why is it always GAA programs that get this crappy treatment?
Caught it tonight for the first time - won't be going out of my way to catch it again. The level of analysis was pitiful - well below gaaboard standards!
That money bit was a pile of crap. Yer man harrington gave us only two reasons why money makes teams better which he produced evidence. The rest was all just gibberish talk about money being the be all ande end all.

That's what I mean. I'd hate for Championships Matters just to be a another me-too. It's certainly nor great but it's a format that if they removed some of the clutter and had less of a rotating cast might improve immeasurably. Do think Marty is likeable, which is more than can be said for most presenters.
The weird thing is the first few CM shows were quite good. Was Marty the first compere?

seo sport is the best - though I cant understand the half of it !
rte is shocking , but its still better than tv3's effort that seems to be a race to get as many cliches into a point of view as possible, yet still offer no actual insight into anything at all.their guests are usually inarticulate and unknowledgeable (but cliche layden) ex players or hacks that dont seem to have a pass leaving cert between them !!

CM Is a nice wee entertaining Gaa magazine show. Leave it alone. Mugsy's is brutal though. :o

CM is dross, all about Marty and his smart comments and what's worse is him laughing at them when it cuts back to studio. At least TV3 discussed the grudge match this week (although it is their highlight match of the weekend to be fair).

I'd not disagree that marty is a joke - a GAA man, but that doesnt mean he should be presenting a tv programme about it !
if it is a race to the bottom between tv3 and rte on who can put out the worst GAA programme, then its a hell of a competition.
cliche central with tv3 and its participants way worse imo at this juncture of the season for brain dead non-analysis and rubbish.
Couldn't resist, enjoy the weekend.
the Second Captains guys from the irish times do a great podcast a couple of times a week.
Not exclusively GAA, but their analysis and pundits are generally very good.
mcconville, david brady,anthony moyles & jason sherlock all on in the last couple of weeks.
Mcconnville & david brady come across far better on the radio for some reason than when they are on the telly. The whole thing is far more relaxed and the ex players seem to more comfortable saying what they really think rather than the usual cliches
on last nights championship matters i thought sean armstong was quite good, whereas mugsy talks, but never really commits himself to an opinion on anything
Very good the night there. Paul Flynn impresses me every time I see him. One of my favourite hurlers too. Very good to hear the amount of time players sPend at intercounty training and the difference between the mid kinetics and now when Flynn said they would go for a few drinks every Sunday after NFL game. He also said there use to be a break in April for them!!
