RTE Radio 1 - Sunday Sport with Con Murphy and Jacqui Hurley

[This Years Model]

I've only listened to this in patches over the last couple of Sundays, but it seems to be a complete disaster of an experiment. They keep talking over each other, yer one doesn't seem to have a clue what she's talking about half the time, and keeps getting tongue-tied - not ideal for live radio I would have thought. It can't be contrived, because there's no way this could pass as chirpy cheeky chappy banter. These two are simply not getting on. Con probably has his nose out of joint for having to co-present something he reckoned he was doing fine by himself ....

Did anyone hear yesterday's show? She reckoned Antrim's win was somewhat of a surprise considering they were 4 goals down at half-time. Excuse me? For the last half-hour the two of them were all over the place.

Bring back Jimmy Magee I say.

RTE, will you please get that woman off the radio. Any time she runs down through scores or updates I'm none the wiser afterwards. It's worse than relying on Aertel. She announced that Cork beat Clare 2-13 to 1-16, after which I had no clue where the points had gone ....

Poor Con must be pulling his hair out. He should try pulling hers. Now I would tune in to hear that.

If this was intended to stem the flow of listeners to Newstalk, they must be going in their thousands by now ....

I think she's from Kilkenny too. Nuff said ....

[GalwayBayBoy]

She's from Cork.

[AZOffaly]

It's brutal stuff.

'We're off to Tralee now'

'No we're not, we're going to Mullingar'.


It's car crash stuff.

[heffo]

She's from Cork.

Originally from Oz AFAIK...

Poor Con must be pulling his hair out. He should try pulling hers. Now I would tune in to hear that.

Con was all over the shop himself yesterday. He got caught out not knowing the result of one particular game when doing a results round-up, even though the same result had been read out minutes earlier. Con then said he had missed it as he "was doing something else at the time" or something like that. Pathetic stuff.

If this was intended to stem the flow of listeners to Newstalk, they must be going in their thousands by now ....

Now there's an idea

Listened to a bit of this yesterday in the car after the Kildare Armagh game. No harm to her but she made a complete balls up in her introduction to the Cork V Wexford football report, saying the Corkmen had returned from strike action to-day. In fairness she apologised aftrewards and said that she was referring to the hurlers. Also she has a voice so deep that she makes the singer Rose Marie sound soprano like.

Thing is she used to do the "SixTy seconds with Jackie Hurley" last year on Monday Night Soccer (where she would ask a player or manager a load of questions in 60 seconds) which was quite funny. Think she is more at home with soccer

[magpie seanie]

She was in Limerick on Saturday reporting from Young Munsters club and interviewed a couple of lads after the Grand Slam win. There was a lad with a devilish smirk on his face the other side of her and sure enough when the interview was near over he grabbed her and planted one on her cheek. She didn't know whether to go with it or resist for fear he'd go further!

I noticed that too when were driving home. Seemed like a real amateur operation.

I've have to mute or switch channel every time she comes on, she has a voice that would cut steel. I'd rather have tinfoil on my filings than listen to her!
