Has anybody ever noticed the amount of times Michael Lyster says "Oh well I don't think there's any DOUBT about that!". He usually throws it in just as he wants to go to an ad break!! If I'm ever in the pub with a lads watchin a game, we have drinking games over it the same way soccer lads do with Chris Kamara on Sky Sports "Unbelievable Jeff!!"

Gas stuff.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

You're actually incorrect there Derry_ledd! A rectangle IS a parallelogram! Therefore the area you refer to on the football pitch may be called either a parallelogram or a rectangle!

On a similar matter - why do they call the area around the goal 'the square'? It's not a 'square'! It's a rectangle!

Mike Finnerty on Mid-West radio."And he is the meat in a X sandwhich"

The reading of pointless information from a page about what club a player plays for, how many championship matches hes played in his career, how many points hes gotten this championship so far, the fact that he won a schools medal in 1994, where hes from and other useless rubbish designed to mask RTE's inability to excitedly commentate

GAA Clichés Surprised no one mentioned this one; A draw was a fair result. Ps In my opinion Marty M is the most annoying person ever to commentate, and he has extended his expertise to include many other areas of sport including Boxing - he makes me cringe. When he's doing the commentary if possible I turn down the telly and listen on radio, although there is a gap between sound [commentary] on radio and picture on the telly.

In fairness to Marty, I'm sure he knows what he's on about having played most of these sports at the top level himself!!!

Heres a headline thats becoming more cliché than news. 'Young Laois talent heads to down under to be snapped up by AFL club'...

Ger Canning has to say during every commentary' Returned with interest by----' or 'this game is there for the taking' Very annoying.

Some poor sod is dropped like a ton of bricks and both sides launch into a pitched battle on the field. Come the match report, five minutes of mayhem is reduced to the comment "there was some argy bargy"

"He took the right option there" whenever anyone fists a point. A ridiculuosly overused phrase, a player one on one with the keeper should always go for a goal.Fact.
