Aisling OReilly on newstalk is very good. She actually comes across as if she is loving the job.

There are a lot of good women broadcasters out there raising the standard.. stag muller runs is the best Cantwell has been poor at times but is generally very good, aisling o Reilly anf thomas no luck are a breath of fresh air to coverage particularly niblock whose approach is very different and very underrated and I would love to see it tried on a bbc Sunday game review show some poor ones and plenty poor men.

Jesus f**k my head hurt trying to read that

The Championship  on BBC Sport NI won an award for their coverage of the All Ireland final

Did bringing  in the big guns (Dara O Briain, Patrick Kielty, Adrian Dunbar and the  other fella) help swing it?

Probably having Sarah Mulkerrin as anchor was key.

Coverage was better before they did that for the final so was well deserved

Coverage was very good. Niblock's good, Harte a good addition to it and sarah mulkerrins is very good as well. Much better than some of the stuff you would see on RTE.

I found on the BBC coverage that the presenters and panelists were excited about the game. Knowledgeable about tactics and match ups. That they were determined to focus on the best aspects of the game while highlighting where teams  were failing or were outmatched.
There were no petty jealousies or personal egos on display.
They cared more about the profile of football than their own.
And absolutely enjoyable to watch.
But while Niblock is a tenfold improvement on Morrissey he can still be a bit boring in his commentary.

What happened to Thomas Kane, thought he was the heir apparent to Mark Sidebottom, only just released this Niblock fella isn't Kane tbh. Two absolutely delicious young men. Phenomenal.

I saw him recently out an about somewhere and wondered the same. It did look like the world was his oyster. He  hosted an event I was at one night years ago and he was some speaker.

[SouthOfThe Bann]

Where is Mark Sidebottom gone; he used to come out with some daft stuff but I used to enjoy him; a likable guy.

Tommy Nibs must cleaned house after that Cross documentary I'd say, has a remarkable spirit about him, a very cunning linguist, phenomenal modern human being/broadcaster

He was on commentary for the Down v Kerry hurling game a few weeks ago on the iPlayer. Was thinking the same when I heard him. Niblock was hosting it.
