One that I'm always looking out for is "enormity". I once read some language expert say something like 'we must tackle the enormity of the use of the word enormity to mean enormous'. I thought, hmmmm, interesting, looked it up in the dictionary and discovered he was right. Now it does my head in especially as it is so over used by journalists and the media in the wrong context. Not in relation to football though. Everyone loves a bit of error-strewn football speak.

To keep on topic - I'm at home in Ireland visiting and I caught the last half of the programme tonight for the first time. I was fairly impressed and reckon a decent little programme like this, on at a great time, will woo a few more to the games over the course of the next season or two. BTW are rte planning on keeping it going long term or is this season a tester?

on a similar note, i recently saw some entitled english toff lord on some bbc grammer show point out the idiocy of the phrase "a big ask" - its absolutly everywhere now, and everytime i hear or read it, i think of that toff's wonderfully jowel-ly face

First time I saw it, had class every Monday night until now. Thought it was average enough. Set looks alright, the Prunty story was interesting. And while I'm sure it's been discussed it here before that 60 second interview is one of the worst pieces of television I have ever seen. :eek:

Did anyone notice Roddy saying that the league hasn't improved, the fitness of players now means the game is played at a frenetic pace but then he said, el players or lower english division players need to play in divisions where the game is played at a high tempo. How can someone use that argument twice and not contradict themselves?

It's easy if you live in Roddy's fantasy land. Sure doesn't he always say he's never got a club relegated?

EDIT: 500th post. That fills me with a deep sadness.

He also states that he never lost at the Brandywell as a manager. Which is wrong.

Roddy is a grade A Gowl. I cant listen to the p***s. I cant understand why RTE persist with him. As for his idle ramblings on Newstalk :confused:

Well we could start a campaign; instead of 'kick racism out of football' we could have a 'Kick Roddy out of Football'

Have to say though I enjoy MNS & even colleagues in work with no interest in football never mind the league are talking about it.
