Notice again you only mention Tyrone misdemeanours and not that of the other 31 counties including your own - I wonder why that's the case? I agree with Harte pointing out the hypothocracy of Whelan as it needs to be called out. Mick O'Dowd has also spoken about panellists and their antics this week. If these so called experts want to call out what's wrong with the game then by all means do it - but have balance and not use it as an opportunity to settle vendettas or air prejudices.

How do you explain the amount of rubbish joe brolly comes out with? Far worse than whelan

Joe Brolly is a shock jock. He is full of absolute dung and isn't taken seriously by anyone. His personal attacks on players and management should have seen him dismissed umpteen times over. RTE really do need to replace all the deadwood asap.

Great to see US fans watching gaelic games. The article was about Tyrone so that why I referred to their antics

To be fair I think Whelan acknowledged his was harsh on Mccann last year

Whoever said that? Although many more games like last Sunday's and there won't be many left watching the "football" on it anyway.

while were on the subject of pundit's have to give a mention Jarlath Burns at least he called AOS on his diving unlike D Dolan who nearly choked on his words trying to defend the indefensible. jacktheDub (Dublin) - Posts: 944 - 12/07/2016 22:52:26 1882231 Link 0 |
Ciaran whelan went along way down in my book, when he and Des dolan stated on TSG on June 12th that roscommon were going to be playing Mayo in the connacht final, a full six days before galway triumphant storming of castlebar. No analysis of how we could give mayo problems, just a statement of fact as if they had qualified and galway were nothing. galwaydublin (Galway) - Posts: 226 - 12/07/2016 23:08:22 1882242 Link 0 |
No he never did.

Coulple of things: 1) I was replying to Currancake not you so please be more more attentive 2) so you have to live in Ireland to have an opinion? (by the way I do live in Ireland now) and 3) this thread is about hypocracy of CW and the fact he ripped into a young Ulster footballer and didn't do the same to Dublin or Kerry footballer misdeamours - exactly what Currancake was doing hence me calling him out. As an outsider as you like to point out - it's pathetic that this continues like it does by a small number of people on these forums.

Whelan is poor on the sunday game i really struggle to listen to anything he says as its been pointed out he thinks the sun shines out of the dubs arse afraid to say what everybody can see happening when there playing. Yourjoking (USA) - Posts: 706 - 12/07/2016 23:29:09 1882257 Link 0 |
Apologies for patronising us comment gael. In fairness I think curran is saying article is about Tyrone. Wouldn't agree on what he said. Whelan was wrong last year. Should have lambasted Philly actions .

Whelan is only doing what Spillane and Mc Stay were doing for years. Agree need neutral pundits for games. Whelan has a good tactical knowledge of game and one of the few pundits who does his homework on teams.

No, its that he doesnt talk to RTE for well documented reasons. I wonder will Whelan reply or will he leave it to a fellow panelist to have a dig especially should Tyrone lose ... something along the lines of 'MH should have concentrated on winning instead of playing mind games with pundits etc ' I am amazed at how spineless the Ulster Council are still allowing RTE have control over coverage of their Championship when BBC do such a fair and balanced presentation. I say this after a decade of unacceptable very personal abuse hurled at their amateur participants from TSG panel. Then again its possible that Croke Park have the final say. I recall BBC doing a fine job in the late 80s/early 90s before Ulster teams started to win titles and RTE became interested. Curlew66 (Roscommon) - Posts: 507 - 13/07/2016 00:05:49 1882275 Link 0 |
He doesn't talk to RTE for his own very personal reasons. What's more he is right not to. They are a disgraceful institution in more ways than one. You seem unusually interested in Mickey Harte for a Roscommon man.

Whelan not the only one to show bias. Independent had an 'analysis' following a dive by Aidan O Shea of Mayo where they mentioned Mayo 3 times and Tyrone 6 times. Southern Media is not impartial and it is therefore a huge problem that they are allowed dictate who is put forward for bans, what referees should look out for, etc. tyroneed (Tyrone) - Posts: 753 - 13/07/2016 07:07:14 1882294 Link 0 |
