Austy is terrific - All round great bloke. And Oisin McConville takes the hotseat from Jarlath Burns this week. Check the BBC website. Should be a good watch. Hope the game is better than last week's at Casement!

Total shite yet again. RTE is much better and that is saying something. The aussie rules commentators could show the gaa how to do it.

Have to say I was impressed with O'Callaghan's handling of the show.....funny eyes though

...McHugh was McHugh...McConville was dire

who was that with Sidey? Kevin ?

Sidebottom is some plank..
He said a couple things that I drove me mental today. Someone else made reference to the fact that he always, when giving out the scores, sais 'plays'. Fermanaghs 1-03 plays monaghans 4 points. Drives me bonkers. Other quotes today went something like 'the games ebbing, flowing, rocking and a rolling!' and some other reference about a shot being like honey dew??

I heard this aswell, drives me f**king nuts. I think the honey dew one was about Paul Finlays score near end of 1st half. How the f**k does this man get on TV.

Yes Madden was analyst alongside frontbottom.

McConville is not a man for the TV. Fr Stone would've been more entertaining.
