Same as. Cringe worthy at times but feck it, it's GAA chit chat so no harm done

Marty Morrissey as Indiana Jones WTF?

Dear god.
I'm watching something else, but I'm putting the remote control in the fridge just to be on the safe side.

[Tony Baloney]

Watching this on Sky+. Two things of note - I think Davy Fitz has been at the green room hospitality and Grainne forgot to put her underwear on.

[Jinxy]

RTE Player here I come!

[Stevie g 8]

Complete tripe and they roll out the great Michael, our future president.the show should be scrapped

I didn;t see it, but Davy doesn't drink, never has.

[Ciarrai_thuaidh]

Can't believe anybody watched that drivel..or that it still on. It sounds like it hasn't changed much from the "wheel out the ol fogies and play a few ballads" formula has it?

[Hardy]

RTÉ is still stuck in Din Joe* mode when it comes to the GAA, be it match coverage and punditry or magazine type programmes. They actually think this is what GAA people want. And maybe they're right, since the administration of the GAA itself is largely peopled by Din Joe types and since the rent-a-Din-Joe GAA personalities continue to collaborate with it and the uncritical majority continue to lap it up. If people stopped watching it or the Davy FitzGeralds stopped selling their dignity to it, they'd stop showing it. So that's the only option - don't be watching it.

(* Radio programme of the fifties- specialising in yokelry and rural hokum, with céilí bands, seanachaí and, most notably, the fabled "dancing on the radio" - people doing set dancing to a céilí tune with the clack of the heels rattling out on the wireless and the faint sound of the music in the background.)

It's like I said before Hardy, RTEs GAA coverage is geared towards old folks and people that only have a passing interest in the GAA.
It's the visual equivalent of Ovaltine for the former and for the latter it serves as a kind of historical reenactment of how their turnip-mangling forebears must have lived.
It's like a visit to Bunratty Castle for them.

I have never watched or ever wanted to watch this cringeworthy shite.....

Grainne forgot to put her underwear on.

.....till now...

[Farrandeelin]

Sure RTÉ's main sports man is Ryle 'rugbyball-mouth' Nugent. No wonder GAA coverage is the way it is with him as the boss there.
