Felix Healy

How this chap has lasted so long on Setanta I'll never know. Setanta are great for listening to their viewers and they got rid of their SPL commentary team of last season because the fans didn't like them. Setanta could really do with letting Felix go and getting Pat back as a pundit rather than presenter. Does anyone like him?

Yer man Hamilton is brutal!
Talk about being limited!
The guy simply hasn't a clue and makes no effort to research something about the eLoI players.

Yes, I like him. He's not always right, but he says what he thinks rather than giving us a heap of cliched banalities.

If Setanta are listening (reading), I vote Felix Healy No.1

However, I am somewhat disappointed that Billy Hamilton has stopped using the expression 'Walk The Chalk' which we named our website after. We probably should have called it 'I always say to players know your distance' as this is his favoured phrase this season it seems.

Bit of banter between Pat & Felix is amusing.

It's Bryan, not Billy.

And I've always thought "pass and play" was his favourite expression.Count how many times he uses it during the Setanta final next week. You're right about "walk the chalk" though. I hadn't noticed he'd stopped using it.

I actually enjoy the banter between Felix and Pat. I thought they were good tonight as well.

Think the commentator on Setanta was excellent as a presenter on EL Weekly and he knows his stuff.

Would prefer the 2 boys as analyts. There is a good chemistry there, but too many awkward moments in the current format.

Can't stand the two. The Christmas debate they had was a classic example of their roundabout opinions and contradicting views. The sooner they're demoted to panelists, the better. Bring back Des!

That was pretty awful.

Especially when Felix went on a rant about EL and Irish League and the next topic of conversation was the Setanta Cup.

I switched channel pretty quickly that day. The cringemeter was shacking violently in the corner!

True! Maybe they'll show the studio stuff in Black & White, to add more authenticity.

But who'll be Laurel and who'll be Hardy?

Felix is a prat. He hasn't got a clue.

Done nothing as a player and done even less as a manager.

Are you only counting what he did in your two bit League or what he did when he moved up in standard to the EL where he won the League as a player and manager?

And got capped internationally as well.

But he's still an ar se.

I don't know, I could never tell those two apart anyway!

He's only there for a bit of balance, since they have Hamilton on too.

**Soper** · 04/05/2007, 8:52 AM

Felix is amazing. He even brought up that Greg O'Halloran video a few weeks ago!

Both teams are getting it down on the ground to pass and play, and both managers will be aaabsolutely delighted with their players at half time and that was a simply fantaaaastic effort by the (eL) right midfielder, whatever his name is, and there's some real commitment being shown by both teams on the park tonight, and (following filthy tackle by Linfield/Glens/Dungannon stalwart) I think in fairness the referee is wrong to have awarded a free kick on this occasion as there was nothing in it, so there wasn't. But overall everybody is just delighted and it's fantaastic so it is!

**Peadar** · 04/05/2007, 8:59 AM

The rubbish coming out of Hamilton during the drogs v linfield game at drog park was unreal! Pure drivel and unashamedly biased!

So what you are saying is, your super duper league he was great but in our two bit league he done feck all?

I see your logic there
