    Yeah but it's hardly surprising considering the guys a massive Rovers fan. I think he's actually a member of the SRFC Ultras.
    Champions!

    I know he's an Ultras member, but the slating he's given the Herald echoes the sentiments shared by a lot on here, not just Rovers fans.
    I agree there's a definite Dublin focus in his stuff, but I'm glad to put up with it, it's certainly a step in the right direction by RTE.

    To be fair, it's a lot better then what we used to get on aertel.....nothing.
    As for the Dublin bias, that can be partly explained by the fact that most of the clubs in the top division are from Dublin or it's suburbs.

    he wasn't the only one. it was disgraceful. fair play to aertel for giving him the chance and well done john for what he's written, some very good pieces
