I'll agree with that, but he also was coming with crazy off the wall stuff either so he is alot more tolerable then.

Like the intro to the games as well, the newspaper cutting type graphic was good. The 60 mins thing "How do you eat yours", and "whos your favourite muppet" :p

I thought the quality of the goals in this months competition was alot better.

That much is kind of out of their hands in fairness though. ;) :)

To be honest, and this is a general comment now, there's been relatively very little to be critical of in all the episodes so far IMO, and it'll be a long, long time before I forget what went before.
Just to avoid being a total sycophant though, one thing I could pick out was that they might keep closer tabs on the music over the highlights. The tune for the UCD game was very much in the foreground and distracted from the commentary.
Otherwise excellent again, one of the better ones in fact.

Jacqui: Who's your favorite muppet?
Ger Rowe: Steve Staunton :D:D
Aww its already been said :( Oh well I'm just watching now

Nice goal from Behan

Jesus only 230 at the UCD match

I thought Ger Rowe's answer of "hoops" to the question "hoops or stripes" was interesting given his current team wear stripes.

I was at the game and the tv didn't change my opinion. I thought the initial challenge was a penalty but he stayed on his feet, went round the keeper and then fell down.

No, that is Scully through and thorugh, comes across as a very very rude man. I like Shamrock Rovers, but have no sympathy for their current plight given the man in charge

The show was 100% better this week. A bit of animation about the panel and the vibe was altogether better.

Roddy really does add to it, far too many of the other panelists are way too bland and all sing from the same hymn sheet.

Meh.

Total disgrace he said that. Also Fingal for the first div ?????

Iceman previously mentioned the collins 'i had him at dub city, rovers etc' change the record collins, boring.

I personally think the show would be an awful dull affair without Roddy. He gets everyone talking whether you love him or loathe him. He's good when we are talking about his clothes....What a flamboyant shirt he had!!

Alot of people in cobh very insulted by your mans comments about cobh and the titanic, no need for it really.

Back to TV3 time next week, 11:55, due to EC coverage. :o

I was wondering why he wouldn't give the actual time on the air, he kept just saying it would be a 'later time'!

Oh well, tis only the cup and at least it's on!

and at least its on rtes website for those who miss it unlike tv3 where you were lucky to catch a repeat early in the mornin at six if you were an earlier riser!

That article has been up for ages. I'm pretty sure it was written before George Hamilton made those comments. It's not a bad piece though.

he mentions the game against Serbia in the article so I don't think it could have been up before it. the opening paragraph about the the Domestic Season being over and looking forward to Euro2008 seems to me to be a subtle dig at hamiltons almost identical comments during the match. I could be wrong as when mentioning the Serbia game he doesn't mention if it was fortcoming or Past

Roddy livens up the show but the other two last night don't have a clue, saying Bobby Ryan contributed two the two goals and should get more of a chance. He was our worst player and he only setup one but it wasn't the setup it was the finish that made that goal and he was our worst player.
Some of the panel really don't have a clue, but good programme overall.

I reckon they'll record it earlier in the day or at the weekend and then show it as though it's live, hence why they didn't know the time.
