Carthy snubbed by RTE
By Coilin Duffy
Brian Carthy has been snubbed by RTE chiefs who have looked elsewhere for Commentators for their radio broadcasts of this years Allianz Division 1 Football and Hurling league finals.

The RTE Radio Gaelic Games Correspondent had been expected to commetate on the deciders, as he was seen as the natural successor to Micheal O Muircheartaigh who retired after last years International Rules Series.

Marty Morrissey will commentate on the football decider between Dublin and Cork, a repeat of last years All-Ireland SFC semi-final pairing.

Meanwhile, Carthy has once again been overlooked for the Division 1 hurling decider at Croke Park on Sunday week.

Dublin hurlers return to the final stage for the first time since 1946, where they will meet Kilkenny.

Daragh Moloney will provide commentary to RTE Radio 1 listeners on that historic encounter.

I think Moloney is rubbish

[SLIGONIAN]

Retards, Carthy is way ahead of morrisey or moloney imo, are they not used for tv anyway, never remember carthys commentary on tv. Idiots, do they honestly think the other 2 are better, canning is the worst of them all.

I like Carthys commentary on the radio, id do the opposite and put on tv commentary as much as possible.

I think Moloney is rubbish

You're wrong.
He's excellent.
Comfortably the best gaelic games commentator RTE have.

[muppet]

Imho Maloney is the closest to a non-junk BBB- rating.

The rest are just Moody and Poor.

Carthy is pure Fitch.

They should get the basketball lad (Tim McCarthy I think?) that commentated on the Limerick/Waterford hurling match a few years ago.

Canning, Marty, Carthy, Maloney etc. make every match sound like a wake.

RTE struck gold with Micheal O'Muirheartaigh (even if they gave hin lttle or no TV time) and did f-all to look to the future. Carthy is a parish priest in disguise while Canning is the inoffensive local correspondent that nobody dislikes enough to criticise but don't want to meet him at the local shop either.

Marty is an embarrassment of Louis Walsh proportions - the ex factor I suppose.

God help us - the best we have is Moloney!

Havent heard him (McCarthy) but the second part of your post is spot on.

"Mullane. He shakes, he bakes, he puts it over the bar"

Marty Morrissey is just deplorable.

[Blowitupref]

Is Jimmy Magee still going? he did a few of the online games last year. Canning is by far the worst i usually mute him & listen to the radio coverage instead.

[Rossfan]

Jimmy must be near ninety at this stage.

RTE is poorly served by its current crop of GAA commentators.
They should send for the one and only Willie Hegarty .....

This is a non-story Coilin.
