Darren Fay of Meath was on as a guest a few years ago and he was brilliant.

For me they have to have good knowledge obviously, but more importantly up to date with the modren game. Most important, they have to be passionate about it and be able to get that passion accross in order to fed of there hype. Such as Michael o'Mur or Charlie Collins of Highland radio as someone just mentioned as these boys would have been able to make yesterdays mayo game seem interesting right up to the last kick of the ball.

I would have suggested possible Kevin Cassidy (knows the modren game) up until he done that ridiculous add a week or so ago.

Bolly is passionate (it maybe a bit false as he knows how to play the crowd) and I like him for this.

Spliane is to full of cliches and sometimes confuses himself which is a bit annoying.

I agree that these guys need to start respecting the efforts of the "unpaid" managers and players.

I think i will settle on my final decission as kelly brook!

Ryan McMenamin was just ok last night, not a very fluent speaker, bit of twitch, but what he does says makes perfect sense, no beating about the bush with his opinions. Maybe a few appearances would help him.

I would love to see Pat Shortt on this for a one off appearance!

Out of all the current pundits I prefer Kevin McStay, and think he often gives a realistic and Impartial opinion on teams and football matters. His experience offers a view from both a player and a managers perspective. He isn't controversial, but very accurate with his analysis.

A pundit should never be chosen on the basis of the number of All Ireland's he won, but on their ability to Judge a game or team on their merits and where they got decisions wrong or right.

I don't like Eamon O'Hara as a pundit, as his analysis has been very poor to date. The Dublin v Westmeath game left me bewildered as to why he was talking over Pat Spillane, when clearly he had little worth listening to.

I think former Kerry manager Jack O'Connor would be a great pundit, and Seamus McEnaney too.

I wish they'd get rid of Spillane - I'm not just saying that because he's said anti-Tyrone things in the past, I'm just sick of him saying the same old stuff week in week out.

Likewise. We could even replace him with another Kerryman like Dara O Cinneide or Dara O Se.

I really didn't like him at first, my anti Laois bias was also a factor, but I think Colm Parkinson does a fine job with newstalk.
