Must say I'm really into this. Never saw some of that footage in part 1 before. Great stuff. The nephews looking up at the cup in the national school is great stuff.
They can reuse the speech he gave Westmeath before the Laois game for the final against Dublin the next day. #worthchancingit
A great show about a great man..
I'd say that the Cork football crowd are probably thinking ffs last thing we need heading down to Killarney.
Very good show with some great footage
Laoch.
A great man indeed and a gentleman. I met him in Ventry once and he spoke with me for a half an hour about football and his mother from Sligo. I tried to convince him to take over as Sligo manager but he didn't bite.
Great man and a great family
I enjoyed all three programmes in the series. Great TV. That was some belt Paudie hit Dinny Allen. Was just thinking if that was Keano that Paudie hit there would have been some barney. It fairness I don't think Roy would have used the elbow like that.
Found it curious (no paranoia here, honest), that in an otherwise fairly comprehensive programme last night about the great buachaill himself, that they didn't even mention the last Championship game he was involved in with Kerry, as manager, before getting a rather unceremonious boot, with probably not a little responsibility lying with that last game for the Kerry CB's decision.
Plenty about the previous year's final against Armagh (2002)... perhaps Spillane is chief subject matter consultant! ;)

Typical. Superb programme about one of the most decorated players and managers ever in the game
and then you get this shite from Tyrone.
Well.... It's important that the invention of 'puke football' should be acknowledged in fairness. It was a landmark match in our game.

Wind your neck in, so something as significant (from purely
his perspective) wasn't worth a mention? He was nearly decapitated by one of his own on the sideline, FFS.

I have never thought of Paudi and Tyrone in the same breath until now, certainly not in the last 12 years. The interview by the sea was far more signifcant to Paudi than that match. I think only a Tyroneman could see that as a problem with the program.

Full of your usual crap: by any objective analysis events that were as significant as those in his own career were airbrushed out, where they dwelled on the eventual manner of his eviction but no mention of one of the principal factors leading to it. Try and put your antithetical antipathy towards ourselves to one side before coming out with howlers like that.

I could say the same. Let's not make a thread about a Paudi documentary about Tyrone.

Well shut the fcuk up then, you're making more noise about it than I am (or did).
Incredible that he was aged only 57 years at his time of his passing on.
While the programme was about the man rather than chronicling his football career, some mention should have been made to the Tyrone game. The impression was left that the 'animal' comment was the major decider in him getting shoved. They could even have squared the circle on that one by making reference to the physical attack he suffered on the touchline from the looper Kerry fan that day. It was blenket difince as much as any comment that ushered him out.
In 1982 Longford played Kerry in the Nat League QF in Longford (at that time for ye yoiung whippersnappers the winners of Division 4 or 3A or whatever it was then) had a QF place.
While Kerry won eventually Longford gave Kerry loads of it and Paidi got skinned by one Mickey O'Hara.
Years and years later me Da was in Paidi's pub and that match came up. Me Da asks him does he remember the young forward that skinned him that day.
"Indeed I do", says Paidi. "However if I hadn't gone out in Longford town the night before and had 8 pints he'd have got fcuk all out of me"
Good man Paidi and RIP!
The whole series was interesting but was it commissioned by FF?
The O'Sé program was good but a pale shadow in comparison to the Documentary on TG4.

Ironically I usually forget just how much of an all-time great Pateen is with all the shite he talks. A bit like Paudi (not saying he talked shite but y'know) he'll only get proper recognition like this when he's gone.
You'd imagine there is a whole generation (if not two) out there who have no real understanding of how good a footballer Spillane actually was - no-one under the age of 30 probably ever saw him play a game - instead he's one of the lads on the telly who talks nonsense. O'Rourke is in the same boat given they are around the same vintage and Brolly is probably the same for folk under 20.

You could up that age for Spillane by about 5 or 10 years as im 30 and I don't remember him playing at all.
Brolly was around when I was in Primary school..

No offense to O'Rouke and brolly,great footballers but not in the same league as spillane,he was something else in full flight,he basically beat tyrone on his own in 86 and by that stage he was well past his best.

Yeah agreed, 31 yr old and never saw him play in the flesh. My first footballing memory was being on holidays in Clare when they beat Kerry in the '92 Munster Final. Might have been his last game, or was he already done?
Gone in 92. 23 years ago! Unbelievable.
My father always rated Spillane far behind the likes of O'Shea
Spillane was a teacher, had loads of time to work on his fitness could run all day but wasn't in the same league football wise as the likes of O'Shea.
Or Sheehy or John Egan imo. I also rated Lynch, Ogie and Power ahead of him for pure football ability. Spillane had great engine, athleticism drive and a massive will to win.

Bit OTT bringing his job into it! Writing down players for being teachers is a game of dominoes..

Threw them in because just thought it was strange thinking that huge swathes of the country have no real notion of them as actual footballers but as the lads off TSG.

I haven't a clue what that means.
Teachers have a lot more time to get their bodies, skills and mental focus right for championship games
2/3 months off for summer
finished at 3 or 4pm. I'm not moaning about them, just that a lot of top GAA players have been teachers.

You don't actually think a teacher is finished their work when the children are let out do you? It's not the fairies making the lesson plans or correcting homework..
