Just watched it on the player there. Not bad at all.
Well I could keep it above

I haven't seen this show, but I'm glad to hear it seems to be good. Credit where it's due.

I dunno - I've just watched it and I didn't see much that was special about it. It presented articulate contributors who avoided cliché for the most part. There was no sitting on the bridge below the town and "I suppose"-ing and saying how Aughrim is always a hard place to go, Laois can put it up to any team on their day, etc.

But the presenter/voiceover fella (who is it - Daire O'Brien who does the Rabo rugby?) is a cliché machine tearing downhill with the brakes gone. And the content is nothing new. I did enjoy yer man from de paypur talking about zombie apocalypse and unbridled debauchery in Porky Kweeve. But is it good or are we just grateful to get something from RTÉ that isn't fronted by Marty Morrissey doing Donncha Ó Dúlaing in orange cladding?

That is a good point actually Hardy.
I dislike that Daire O'Briain lad intensely.
For a number of reasons.
If you were any use you'd be playing.

Tell us about it.

A set-to outside the chip shop in Duleek? A disagreeable squabble over a young wan from Kilmessan?

Of course it's good. There's an art to getting a good interview and the production crew clearly know how to. You can get good material and then make a meal of it because you don't ask the right questions.

Daire O'Whatever is the only problem.

Did he ever pay up and if he didn't I wonder where he bets now?

Nice wee piece on the Antrim 21s who won the AI in 69. Good show.
