All the good boys & girls will read from their pre prepared cue cards today. The first aid room at TSG must be packed with injuries from sitting on the fence, some will need reconstruction down there soon. moc.dna (Galway) - Posts: 1212 - 14/09/2019 09:08:46 2235152 Link 1 |

He's not a questioning voice, he just thrives on the attention. He's more than capable of doing good analysis, having the craic but allowing presenter and fellow analysts a say too but prefers his own voice. I agree with everything else you say though. But it's RTE and will remain conservative and boring until someone shakes them up. The Sunday Game factory gets the raw material of an ex-county player who might look good on TV, put a suit on him and stick him on the show, regardless of how he comes across to an audience. Seeing as they're guaranteed the bulk of the licence money and get government subsidies, despite losing money, their cosy arrangement means that won't happen anytime soon. It needs good analysis, a sense of humour and probably a few gimmicks to entice the next generation to watch it and actually make money for RTE through ads. Buff Egan hit the nail on the head when he says most young people today have no interest in how GAA is presented. The GAA should also have an interest. In business terms the kids today are their potential customers and The Sunday Game is part of their marketing strategy. Looking in at a few auld lads squabbling won't entice them to buy what the GAA is selling. It's 2019, who knows if there will be a Sunday Game or RTE in 2029.

Joanne is boring, panel is boring, hope the game is decent, rare atmosphere about it by the looks of it, Dubs could give them a hiding here. How many times has Pat mentioned there were 13 Kerry debutants the last day? Tirchonaill1 (Donegal) - Posts: 2746 - 14/09/2019 17:27:38 2235222 Link 0 |

Bland - Uninteresting, boring, tedious, dull, monotonous, dry, drab, dreary, wearisome, unimaginative, insipid, lacklustre. Just some of the words to describe the Sunday Game now. Ulsterman (Antrim) - Posts: 9701 - 14/09/2019 17:58:31 2235235 Link 0 |

What do you want Morris dancers and eunuchs? What would you do to liven it up? Imagine if you were a panellist.. Talking about a sports game and going through tactics, scores is not comedy. There's only so much you can do without turning analysis into farce. Colm O'Rourke seemed nervous as he approached the analysis pad tonight. Feeling a bit of pressure from all the talk of clearing out more of the old crew. He shouldn't. There's a role for a man of his experience in his early 60s as there is for the 30 somethings with the flashy suits. Hearty congrats to Dublin on the 5 in a row. Serious achievement. Ciaran Kilkenny's speech from the hotel was excellent. His pride in his heritage (language, games) and remembering those who helped him in his formative years. Class player, class man.

Got that suit on hire from a 70s vintage store

I loved Sean Cavanagh as a player but just can't warm to him as a pundit...maybe it's his constant jibes at Mayo (again last night) but he comes across smuck. I'd have Brolly before him ;) yew_tree (Mayo) - Posts: 11230 - 15/09/2019 15:09:59 2235635 Link 8 |

I find it irritating all the people from other countries praising Dublin. Almost latching on to them. Have you no pride in your own counties? gahfan (Wexford) - Posts: 636 - 16/09/2019 01:12:19 2235893 Link 4 |

Let's be honest and cut the bulls*t. The Sunday Game this weekend was a bland, boring, dull, grey, yawning load of mince. Brolly, Spillane and O'Rourke together in tune with Michael Lyster was the only thing that made the programme watchable. Political correctness and gender quotas have destroyed it and I don't care who that offends because it is the TRUTH. Ulsterman (Antrim) - Posts: 9701 - 16/09/2019 01:40:23 2235899 Link 4 |

Sounds like you're talking about yourself. Automatic response to defend him because he's from Ulster. He's a clown. Look at me I had 4 pints before the match yesterday, I'm a great lad, then some fella he name dropped let him into the snug to write his article. John McCarthy, James' dad, gave him a shoulder dig and they had great craic. He's an attention seeking little gombeen. BliainanÁir (Laois) - Posts: 598 - 16/09/2019 12:33:12 2236049 Link 4 |

Nail on the head. But it is driven into them by all sectors of the media. People that question Dublin's success are considered cranks and sore losers. The aul chesnut 'the GAA needs Dublin' used to be wheeled out by every barstooler when they'd be beaten (remember those days?) Now Dublin's dominance has seen attendances fall leading to the GAA top brass scrambling to make up the numbers with an utterly useless super 8 series. The replay will inflate the attendance figures this year however and all will be rosy for the top brass in Croke Park. The penny will drop some time Halfdinnerandraspberrycheesecake (Leitrim) - Posts: 48 - 16/09/2019 13:30:02 2236078 Link 2 |

Praising a great team irritates you? I bet you're fun to live with. And what has that got to do with pride in your own county?

You sound easily irritated though to be fair.

Yerrah it's been great fun winding you up! You posted that the Dubs perform fellatio on the GAA recently to get more money? Beidh an Riocht ar ais... Is treise dúchas ná oiliúint. Defaulter1831 (Kilkenny) - Posts: 40 - 17/09/2019 21:51:14 2236867 Link 3 |

So now you're a Kerryman. Well most of the Kerryman I know here are passionate and defend their county but you are just a nasty piece of work. Lynn publications have the evidence that you doctored that. And you know what you did. I reported your post and got an apology. I'm surprised they continue to allow you to post on here. As for being wound up. Cop onto yourself. Sorry pal but you're the boy that absolutely lost it and forgot to switch accounts. avonali (Dublin) - Posts: 1974 - 17/09/2019 22:15:43 2236882 Link 9 |

Shouldn't this be removed. Is Lynn publications allowing casual references to felletio on here now? Wake up moderator. Family friendly my eye. avonali (Dublin) - Posts: 1974 - 17/09/2019 22:21:52 2236887 Link 8 |
