Well if he's on a panel with Roddy he's probably right.

is his article on examiner a set day or what??

Dunno, not in Cork very often so not sure. Always has something about the Premiership in Arena on Wednesday and I think he always has something about the eL around the weekend.

Lapsed Shamrock Rovers supporter as far as I know.

Writes some good stuff in the Examiner.

Dead right its wrong. Can the rest of Sheridans comments be taken seriously in this thread? Paddy Mulligan seemed to know more than some of the other panelist on ELW, involved in the league or not.

I like Mackey. I find him insightful and interesting and contrary to what others say, the whole show has a laid back feel to it so singling Mackey out for being 'laid back' is kinda like saying that you don't like the show.

I don't buy the Examiner, but if I knew he had an article on a particular day I'd probably make the effort.

I met him once - last season - at Dalymount. I'm pretty sure it was against Cork, and found him to be a gentleman. He was heading away and instead of giving me the short shrift, he delayed to chat for a few minutes. Yeah, I've got a lot of time for him and my understanding is that he has been a regular at eL grounds for years so I suppose as a journalist, he's probably as knowledgable as anyone.

As for Paddy fücking Mulligan. Give me break!

mackey is a class sports journalist, he comes up with some excellent articles on football, both domestic and foreign.
he also is the main football man on the examiner, who produce some of the best european football coverage.the ''champions'' mag is very good. his articles on ramblers and cork city are also very good.
