Aye, O'Connor would be there too. Good shout

**Charlie Darwin** · 27/08/2013, 2:41 PM

Sean O'Connor is an angel.

Not this year. Too busy with his charity work and volunteering down at the kids hospice

Our own Derek O'Brien has been a historic diver. Obviously in the last few weeks, since signing for us, he hasn't done any of that but I'm sure he'll become a serial offender again when he moves on.

Gary McCabe but he learnt it all in Sligo obviously

And shur while we're at it an honourable mention for Stephen O'Donnell (GUFC days) - got sent off one time (2nd yellow) for diving near the half way line

Derry are one up on Bluebell into the second half. Reported 400 at the game.

It will probably end up going to a replay and that's the last thing we need with a title challenge to take care of.

Although in saying that, I'd rather you beat us in the QF than the final, every cloud and all that.

I watched the MNS cup thing on RTE playback, that commentary style which tells you what happens before it happens, is a big irritation.

Whoever sews Dolan's jacket button, deserves special mention.

I suspect they aren't watching the footage while they record the voiceovers. It's like they're reading a news report at some times.

Well, they obviously just read it off a piece of paper. If you listen carefully, you can hear the hesitation in the voice of John Kenny (I think it was him) as he is explaining what happens in Harps goal against Cobh.
Was about to say Kevin McHughs name, but instead hesitated over the name Ciaran Coll, and ended up calling him Kevin Coll, who passed through to Kevin McHugh...

At 28 minutes.

The "commentators" write their own scripts AFAIK (with team sheets provided)

Surely all the team sheets can't have errors in them.....

**Dodge** · 28/08/2013, 1:35 PM

No, and if youwatch carefully it's usually the same commentators who make the same mistakes.

**Martinho II** · 28/08/2013, 8:07 PM

watched mns earlier and it was John Kenny 100% that said that!

Quite a few of the images of teamsheets that I've seen posted online do contain a lot of errors.
Match programmes often get players' names wrong too (and clubs' names and crests for that matter!).
