Better than Cork's Neil Prendeville by a long shot Dodge; who for years was the only other option. A lot better. Waaaaay better. Getting the picture? :)

They actually have a show which involves three blokes sitting around discussing what is being discussed on Politics.ieQuote:

"Off the Ball".;) It's on from 7pm-10pm every weekday, with an Eircom League segment on Thursdays from 9-10pm featuring the insightful Roddy Collins.:DQuote:

I also find Mr Paul Parker to be very very annoying and he just comes across as an idiot.
They have some decent coverage of the horse racing if your into that and the Eircom League hour/20 mins is good when they do it. The Friday night Eircom coverage just basically takes a dig at the league for two hours, its squashed into their American hour so when you've heard all about the latest NFL drug story or Basketballs latest rape scandal they will throw in a reference to 'mighty Waterford' or lethal 'Jason Byrne' or a host of other terms which are neither funny or informative.
Although I didnt like Ger Gilroy the show does seem to have gone down after he left.
Rugby coverage is about the only topic they do good balanced coverage of.
The soccer is awful and involves more of what manager is fighting with what player rather than discussing the actual soccer.
Also Roddy Collins is a ****** .........
Three lads sitting in a studio licking his arse for 10 mins every week is doing nothing for football in this country.
Hmmmmmmmmmmmm
and their GAA coverage is way over the top!!
John Giles is good but again they only use him for top table premiership games that get loads of coverade any way. Id love them to ask some of their guests about eircom league teams, especially when we are in europe in the same rounds as the other teams they discuss!
Think I've covered everything :)
Daft Dave is great :D
Love that ad
I'm liquidising this forum.
Every post must go.
This madness has to end, Risteard! ;)Quote:
