I watched some of the RTÉ coverage back last night and I was struck by the make-up of their broadcast team:
Con Murphy - Corkonian
Kevin Doyle - Ex- Cork City striker
Dave Barry - Ex-Cork City player and manager
Pat Morley - Ex-Cork City striker
Tony O'Donoghue - Cork City fan
You forget Roddy Collins - **** (must be some corkie in him)
I noticed it too. particularly at the end of the game when Morley said he was "delighted as a Corkman"

Chalk it down.:)
A bit unprofessional alright.
Was Doyle his usual "Everyone's great, best of luck to referee and both sides involved" self?

christ, no thanks.
If we were to take every touting jackeen eL chancer, the place would be over-run.

More or less, although he made no secret of the fact that he wanted Cork to win. Understandable though. Didn't seem to know any of our players names, except Dessie Baker.
I believe the population of Longford County is 20,000? Population of Cork County probably 500k. On those odds it is 25 times more likely to have Cork person working for RTE. When ex-Longford Town player is playing in the EPL he will get on RTE panel too.
Roddy Collins was there to represent the Longford Town Dublin based players.
Seems fair to me.

Is Con Murphy from Cork? I thought he was a Shams fan? Not that the distinction matters to anyone except taxonomists of subhumanity.

About 7k i would guess.

not a great return when you think Longford beought 3k out of 20k ??
Biggest team in the country eh ?? a percentage of population i'd say you were badly let down. By your calculations you should have had 25 times the support we have, 75k then from cork at the game;):D

The Sports Editor of the SIndo is a Longfordman. (John Greenan or something like that?)
and as for Tony O'Donoghue being a Cork City supporter...he may well be from Cork, boy, but my view is that he is a Tony O'Donoghue supporter - end of.

John Greene is the sports ed in the sindo, you are correct sir.

3K seems about correct. I never criticised the Longford support. Then again Longford is 90 minutes form the RDS. ;)

Easy to get to the RDS. Can have your lunch in Longford, hop in car & still make the match. Cork City (not even mentioning West Cork) is 4 hours away.

gettin to the M50 is one thing, it takes the same again to get to the RDS and a silly time of year as well.
