So now we know why he retired.

Nice to hear. I'm looking forward to this show. I really hope RTE will give a damn this time.

[Poor Student]

Hopefully that'll be as part of their main panel. That's 8 people so I don't know where he'll fit in. It would be nice to have someone who won't just trot out hackeyed clichés about the club.

I don't know. I reckon it'd just be easier to offer a €10,000 contract on the life of the first journalist or pundit to use one of the phrases "difficult to break down" or "a hard place to go looking for three points" about us.

If the amount of preperation RTE are putting into this is anything to go by its going to be great!

I'll have to buy that widescreen TV I was going to get a while ago to make sure that Lurch fits on my screen...

Rico mentioned that "The students will have learned a lesson". Groan!

No sign of Tony tonight on MNS. He must be part of the pool of analysts or co-commentators for live games.

That or they'll be rotating the panel to keep them fresh for European games.

Looks like they are going to rotate the analysts, Rico + 2 others. We might get to see him next week...

[DmanDmythDledge]

He's on tonight.

He said on MNS that he plays with St Kevin's

Yeah, he does. They were his schoolboy team, and I think he's playing with them to stay fit as much as anything else.
