Jason Byrne and the Cork Tom thing was good! Thunderstrike was Wind assisted this week! Very poor this week!

Spome of the things that happen on it are very ameteur, like the incident with Ray Houghton goal. Richardson blabbering on is very annoying at times. But on a whole its been a big improvement this year i think with some of the new things a success.
Some ideas which i think would make it better would be to have a guest come on the show every week or on the phone to talk about some things in the league and matches ahead etc, eg, A manager come on and talk every week and chat.
The replay thing should be addressed. We are always watching them as they speak, when we should be looking at highlights of contentious decisions while they are talking over it. Otherwise thumbs up.

He thinks Oman should be in at centre half and one of Shelly/Heary at right back.

It was a clip from the previous weeks show. Someone at RTE pressed the wrong button.

I still have no idea what type of football Bray, Drogheda, Derry, Pats and others are playing this season because they don't show us in the highlights. All we're getting to see still is goalscoring chances. Not enough.

Although, I can't remember now but I think TV3 show showed more of the highlights and everyone found it boring so maybe RTE have the right format.

Yeah, I know, and he's wrong. I might have Oman ahead of McGuinness, but dropping Shelley makes no sense when you have two ball-winners in midfield and need width.
