QuoteDidn't think Marty mouse was a Boez supporter, although he does look like one!
Marty Morrissey and his entirely unfeasible hair were on the panel tonight, and he was asked what his sporting highlights of the year were: Harrington, blah, blah, Munster, blah, Kilkenny.......
What other country in Europe would a domestic football double win and record league points total not be a highlight? whinge, whine.....we are so beneath the radar that no one even thought to mention it.
A patriot is someone who knows how to hate his country properly.

He is a bogball person. LOI doesn't even cross his radar. Some people would moan about anything.
The LOI was such a washout this year even fans of the league can't remember who won the trophies...

My favourite season in years. Pretty sure fans of 2/3 clubs were happy. same as every season. As it is in every league
The less MArty Morrisseys we have in LOI circles the better. Anyone remember the interview with Frankie barrett's mother?

I like high energy football. A little bit rock and roll. Many finishes instead of waiting for the perfect one.
In fairness, I accidentally overhead Des "Ah-Sure-I'm-Just-A-Likeable-Eejit" Cahill's show earlier. He was asking the panellists for their hopes for the year ahead and George Hamilton, of all people, made a point of bringing up the LoI and said he hoped the quality of the football in the league wouldn't be overshadowed again next year.
A leading authority on League of Ireland football since 2003. You're probably wrong.
I don't think Boh's double set the country's collective heart racing in all fairness...
i think thats the point sonofstan is trying to make... it didnt even warrant a mention in a national discussion about the Irish sporting year. Therein lies the problem.

Thank you. That's it exactly. And its not (just) because its Bohs either - any team who did what we did this year would be exceptional.

The bohmeians Keeper Brian Murphy has made the moninations for sportstar of the year along with the likes of Katie Taylor and Padraig Harrington and Bohs themselves made the team of the year list along with the aforementioned Munster and Kilkenny.
Would have thought that excellent recognition?
Just because some oaf from Clare doen't mention it on a comedy show - doesn't mean anything really.
I was at a cup replay in the Iveagh Grounds St James's Gate v Derry City circa 1995 and Marty was there apparently off duty. Never saw him at a football match before or since.
In fairness I don't recall him ever being bigoted about Irish football. He may have little interest. We all have different sporting highlights. I'd have said Pats v Elfsborg anyway for domestic football.
He probably thought there'd be free Guinness on the go.I was at a cup replay in the Iveagh Grounds St James's Gate v Derry City circa 1995 and Marty was there apparently off duty. Never saw him at a football match before or since.
I'll get my coat....................
I don't think people will lose to much sleep over Marty's blithe neglect of the game. His endorsement would probably be a liability anyway.
But isn't it the by-now embedded serial non-mentions from oafs from various parts of the country that is the problem? On that score, fair play to Des Cahill for trying to strike a balance.
Hang on, he wasn't there to strike a balance - he was asked his opinion and he gave it.
Ceci n'est pas une signature
Exactly.
To be honest, this is nit-picking of the highest order.
A presenter who, as is well known, doesn't particularly like football, never mind LOI, gives his personal highlights of the year and they don't include Bohs, so what?

more bass
Maybe he was drinking out of a Derry City mug

Didnt see the programme but if he was asked for his sporting highlight,
and he has no interest in LoI football, then I dont see why people think he
should mention Bohs (or any other LoI achievment)
It's be like having Rico or someone on and being surprised he didnt mention
St Patricks Handball Club Cavan winning the Intermediate final and being promoted to senior!
Yes it is a momentous sporting achievement ... but only for people who give a
hoot about the sport.

Which, as I said, is no loss, either to Bohs or the national league.
as far as im concerned drogheda drawing 2-2(never mind 0-0) in Kyiv is a bigger 'sporting moment' than Bohs winning the double.
I'd apply this logic to any league and especially when the league won in question was not exactly hotly contested.
marty is not a soccer fan so i dont get what your going on about.
