Forget Joe.  In terms of analysis, Martin Clarke is really excellent.  Great football knowledge with no side-show.

I would agree with that. Marty Clarke and Oisín are probably my two favourite pundits at the minute.
And Oisín is much better in the pundit role than co-commentating. The last person you'd want in the pundit chair alongside those two would be Brolly.

Whelan is GAA punditry's equivalent of Rio Ferdinand. A cheerleader for the Dubs, who offers no insight and hasn't the interest or acumen to do research on any other team.

I think RTE need Joe back. The analysis each week is stale, sterile and dull. I would also suggest that it appears to be very scripted.
I agree that Joe has become a parody of himself but he most certainly gives a reason to tune in a HT, knows the game and is entertaining. At the moment I go put the kettle on and wait for the 2nd half to start.

Cora Staunton and Ciaran Whelan deliver zero additional insight and are a bore fest. PC gone mad.

Dead on Joe. We'll tell the Director General.

A complete knob-end who made his name by slating players' and managers' character and values while sleazing around strip clubs himself.

100% agree.
I think Joanne Cantwell is awful too. She may be knowledgable, but god she'd bore you to tears.
Cooper and O'Se I think are good when they are on.
But there's no comparison to Brolly/Spillane/O'Rourke. You'd tune in just to hear them.

Marty Clarke is the best of the bbc bunch. I don't like McConnville/McHugh/Harte. Though in saying that, I'd listen to Harte more to get an idea of how he thinks about the game in general terms rather than in game analysis.

As long as he is not talking about hawkeye...

The problem is, you can have analysis, or you can have entertainment. It's hard to get both.
