Prime Time RTE - GAA Special

[anglocelt39]

Balanced enough looking panel for the discussion so lets not rush to prejudge, confirmed so far are Eoghan Harris, the Right Honorable Kevin Myarse of Irish Indo Fame. The more traditional GAA view of things will be presented by Fintan O Toole.

[Farrandeelin]

Prime time should be told to f**k away for themselves. The peoplecwho partake in this show shouldn't bother. There are far more issues Primetime could deal with i.e FG + Labour's shortcomings. I await the rugby special after the team lost to Wales. I know I'll be a long time waiting.

Why all the defensiveness?  Jesus, ye are worse than Donegal in an all-Ireland semifinal

rte eh......................... brazzers last night, now the gaa............................ shame on them

[cornafean]

How many innocent Parish Priests will they doorstep for this programme

[Jinxy]

I look forward to plenty of ominous music and moody camera shots.

[AZOffaly]

Can we have an over/under bet on the phrase 'Cancer in the GAA'? Let's set the line at 4.5

[Jinxy]

That has the makings of a good drinking game AZ.

Leaving aside the fact that RTÉ has a brass neck to continue to trot out nags from the proven corrupt "Prime Time" stable, the composition of the panel doesn't suggest the intent to do a hatchet job on the GAA. O'Toole is a Dublin supporter, often seen in Croke Park and Myers (yes, surprisingly) judging by many of his columns down the years, is very positively disposed towards the GAA. I don't know Harris's attitude. I expect he'd be pro-GAA as well, but it doesn't matter as people pay as much attention to his doolally musings as they do to Spongebob Squarepants.

[Jinxy]

I expect plenty of utterances along the lines of 'This never happens in rugby loike' from Miriam.

[Denn Forever]

Miriam will be getting stuck into the Jee-Aye-Aye on Thursday.
Payments to managers and the rising number of violent clipboard related incidents are up for discussion.

Both happen.

Another chestnut that will be uttered I suspect is  "It is a results business".

Can we bet the Genie back in the box?

[Canalman]

Not Myers' biggest fan by any means but as posted already he is always imo anyway very complimentary of the GAA in Ireland and I think alot of people will be surprised.

[Rossfan]

I hope so because I don't see anything positive coming from the other pair.
O'Toole will say that what's wrong with the GAA stems from it being a "conservative rural " organisation while the other yoke will be full of "the GAA let the Provos take it over " and all decent people left it then so only thugs remain blah blah.

[cornafean]

Myers (temporarily hosting The Last Word at the time) tipped Cavan to beat Kerry in 1997.

Harris' Sindo columns are occasionally good for a GAA yarn, particularly when Cork are going well.

Aye maybe so Hardy, but they're all tossers!
