Quality Aertel headline:
SHELS WIN SEALS EIRCOM LEAGUE CROWN 222
"friday night is eircom league night".....if only george, u get to say that bout twice a year
If Gabriel Egan or Eoin Hand had said that on radio they might have been justified in saying so.
cant believe they got doolo on the commentary team cud anyone understand him?
I could but then I know him for years
George Hamilton is a legend. It's hardly RTE's fault that they've shown so few domestic games this season. Shels refused to let them screen a game some weeks back. So stop the whinging.

listen pm stop disagreeing just for the sake of it, hamilton knows NOTHING about el, did u hear him in amy games this season. he hasn't a clue who the players are and it shows in his commentary. shels were given 36 hrs notice by rte and that simpley isn't god enough......
whinging, we have every right to, they are the NATIONAL BROADCASTER, but yet show more of a foreign league than thir own national one.

Im not disagreeing for the sake of it. That's my genuine opinion. Hamilton is a great commentator. If an EL club really wanted a televised game, 36 hours notice would hardly be a problem. I think these clubs only think about the short-term. All that was bothering Shels is that the attendance might have dropped. If these clubs want more exposure, that is the price thay may have to pay. George Hamilton was only doing his job by announcing that Friday night was EL night. Nothing wrong with that. BTW, the reason our national broadcaster shows more football from foreign countries is that there is more demand for it. Unfortunate as it is, not everyone in this country is as passionate about the EL as me and you Max.

Words can not explain how much I disagree with what you just said.Not just for his commentary in el matches but his commentating in general.I despise him
If you can keep your head when all around you have lost theirs, then you probably haven't understood the seriousness of the situation.
if an irish international game is on skysports ,i watch that rather than listen to the man who quoted "the baggio brothers"as players for italy.
i hate his commentary style.
Now in fairness, the full quote explains everything "The Baggio brothers are, of course, not related".
I like George Hamilton, he may not say the most sensible things at times but at least he's not dull like pretty much every second commentator out there, he can make a match seem interesting unlike TV3 who would make a 5-4 game seem dire because they haven't got a commentator with any personality.
George Hamilton is a legend and a fan of the eL, he's a Bohs man as far as i know.
hamilton is a glentoran fan..(so that probably does mean he follows the bohezzz in the EL)
and he is a useless tosser of a commentator.please dont disagree.christ hes useless!
My Unionist cousin from Norn Iron supports Bohez too. Is there some connection between them and up North?
well bohezzs history isnt exactly something to shout from the roof tops.theyv shameful roots really.
they were founded by students of bells academy (a british military school). they were staunchly amateur up til 1969. an all-amateur ethos in dublin of the 1890s-1950s (or longer) is a blatant attempt to keep the club for the ruling upper classes (those who had professional careers and could afford to play for an irish league club for free) - ie the occupying british and their cronies
also they got their colors from trinity college ,another unionist protestant british institution
Yes except for one slight omission, when they left bells academy the founding fathers also darkened the corridors of Trinity College themselves. Otherwise an excellent account of the origins of the species ... Trinity.. SH1te!
Only a Longord fan would have the brutal audacity to stick up for George Hamilton and that motley crew at RTE....sure they show youse in the Cup!
You claim to love the EL yet can't comprehend the fact that the National TV station funded by you (yes, not me as I'm a dirty nordie!) fails to cover the National League 'til such times suit. Would BBC/RTL/Canal+ get away with doing the same ? Probably if people as lethargic as you Mr.P.M lived on the continent!!
I'd rather die laughing than trying!
eh it was a Longford fan that stated how bad he is in the first palce
Ignore Max Power, he is no more, the future is Ron Burgundy. I'd love to be Ron Burgundy but they won't let me........
