As I'm sure you all know the old Sunday Game theme tune has been replaced with a new, utterly crap one. So do something about it:

The BBC would never replace the Match Of The Day theme tune, don't let RTÉ get away with this one.
And should you need any more convincing, read this:

Any chance they'd replace Marty Morrissey, Colm O'Rourke, Ger Loughnan and a few other gobshítes on there?Quote:

If he didn't have that job, he might attempt to manage a hurling team again - that would be a fierce imposition on the unsuspecting public. At least you can choose not to watch The TV Show Formerly Identifiable as The Sunday Game. If he was managing once again he'd be everywhere.
Did Marty Morrissey escape from a lab? :confused:
is marty morriseys head a potato?
Is michael lyster still hosting?
Yep. Personally, Marty Morrissey can be annoying, but the rest are usually grand. Best of the lot is Joe Brolly (though maybe it's because I'm from Derry), he's refreshing and down to earth.Quote:

Gggggaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh !
Feck off, it's better than 'soccer', well, at least at inter-county level. There's nothing like an All-Ireland Championship Sunday. Whether it's Celtic Park, the 2 hour drive to Clones in the pouring rain (and the 2 hours getting out of the place), or heading down to Croke Park with the sun blazing.Quote:

And at the end of the day you're either talking about 'this day fortnight.....' or saying "ah sure, there's always next year". :D
Much as I love the eL, it'll never compare to AIC.
Derry for Sam!
Wibble wibble :eek:Quote:

Fair enough, write Derry off, suits us grand. :D

Aye, true. Though Tyrone and Armagh are particularly bad at it. Thing is though, if it wins games, it's hard not to use it. Slowly but surely it seems as though other counties are figuring out how to get round it, keeping the ball moving all the time. Mayo and Fermanagh did this well in the quarter finals. And you couldn't really accuse Fermanagh, or Derry indeed, of using the same blanket defense tactics of Armagh and Tyrone.Quote:

It's the taking part that counts.
Ye just didn't get a rub of the green :D
Sure it's still a young team. Least we got beat by the eventual winners though. And it could be worse sure, we could have been expected to do well, and we could have went out in the qualifying rounds, losing to some wee Ulster county a tenth our size. ;)Quote:
