Did anyone actually find that Mortimer Crawley bit funny? WTF? :confused:
What I don't understand is why he was pretending to be a Dundalk fan and was putting on a Drogheda accent. Weird....
.:music:
I had a chuckle at it anyway.

Fair play to Tony McDonnell for his comments on the Man U friendly. I thought he was spot on with what he said.
I'm also surprised by finding myself agreeing with Roddy Collins on the same subject.
i actually found it funny enough, better than some of the other stuff they've tried.
Also agreed with McDonnell, and slightly agreed with roddy. thought dave barry went a bit ott :D
What did he say? I missed that bit.Quote:

Collon/Ardee direction perhaps.
He said the match was pointless from an LOI point of view and that people shouldn't get upset about the performance of a quickly-assembled side with two days of training by a manager who doesn't currently work with any of the players against a team who are one of the best in the world.Quote:

Basically, he said on national television what most people who post here already know.
Yeah more of an ardee accent. We drop our Rs in Drogheda but in the mahhs bahh, stahh bahh, fahh side kind of way. Here more Dundawk people talk like the video than drogs.Quote:

Credit where credit is due.
And well Dave Barry, the usual incoherent bumbling rantings of a man that shouldnt be let near any form of television show.
Im sure hes a nice guy and a hero in Cork but he cant string one sentence togethor, if you are going to have a Cork man there stick in Morley because hes arrticulate and doesnt go down a cul de sac of inane incoherent rantings like Barry.
Thought Dave Barry went off on a mad little tangent allright by the end of it I wasnt sure if he was pro or anti that friendly last week I not sure he even knew.
i found that skit funny have to say
Exactly, it was just a stream of mumbling incoherent rants, not good for a show to do with punditry.Quote:

' A necessary evil' I presume. Point is though, barstoolers (not the most subtly minded of people) won't take into account the lack of preparation etc. They'll just see: 7-1 - proves LOI is rubbish. That's why it was so deeply damaging - and people are quite right to be angry about it.Quote:

Thought it was funny. But got the urge to play a little bit of Footall Manager now.
