Irish at the Olympics

[pete]

Hioghlight of Olympics so far on RTE has been Marty Morrissey commentating on women basketball. "shes been called back...." "...good shot..." The least RTE could do is give him a Baskjetball for dummies book or something.

Marty Morrissey is perhaps the biggest idiot we as a nation , have ever reared. I saw him on a really busy street in Limerick about 5 years ago with a street map in his hanD, asking people for directions to Ennis. Martys from Clare, yet he stood there like a dumb yank asking for directions to a place on a route he would regularly travel on.........MUPPET...

RTE do good job with Boxing as have knowledgable people on.

Jim Sheridan is obcessed about World Records when doing swimming - he'll often only start commentating on the actual race in last 20m.

On the Craig Doyle subject - Delighted to see Craig Doyle doing so well for himself - RTE must be sickened to see him with the Beeb now, afterall they wouldn't give him a job!

I don't know why - would beat haven't to look at some of the ugly mugs they have on it!

Agreed..good luck to him. But a bit weary, he could turn into someone like wogan, thinking he's a brit!!!

was watching on the big screen in Trafalgar Square... he lost but only just... was behind the whole fight and just nicked a point at the end to level it. Poor lad was gutted but well done Andy! (Shame about the cream cracker there who was shouting JAB JAB JAB repeatedly every 5 seconds....)

He had guts anyway & no disgrace giving 100%. Eventhough knocked out of 2nd round maybe best irish performance so far?

[Metrostars]

Doesnt look good for any medals. Did Ireland win any in Sydney either?

[Schumi]

maybe best irish performance so far?

Power 11th in the cycling the best so far for me.

two greatest moments for me were george hamilton comparing sonia o sulliavn to liverpool fc last season and the irish runner having a go at the the rte panel last night for criticising his preparation
