For all the stick they get that was beautiful tonight.

Not very often you watch a football highlights show and get a few tears in your eyes. Thought that was well put together tonight, a fitting tribute
I am pleased that SR devoted considerable time to paying tribute to Ryan and I hope that the McBride family got some solace from it.
I am less than sure about the "beautifully constructed" comments - Dave Barry is one of the most inarticulate people on TV and Stuey Byrne is not much better. The rest of it was excellent
My thoughts exactly, surely they could have found 2 pundits (Cawley for example) who is able to construct a basic full sentence without lobbing 'you know' after every third word. That aside, a lovely tribute to a player taken far too soon
"Billy Corgan, Smashing Pumpkins."
"Homer Simpson, smiling politely."
I'd assume that Barry and Byrne were scheduled weeks ago in whatever rotating schedule exists for 'expert analysts'.

I had a look at the website what i'm looking for is just more of the games. Not just >1min per match but a decent amount of clips that give a proper idea of what happened.
All that said, well done SR on the tribute. Very well done and i'm sure much appreciated by Ryan's friends and family.
I have to agree. No problem with the sentiment, but I thought it got a bit arkward at times, like they were running out of things to say and started to get repetitive. The filmed interviews were good though. The Kenny Shiels one particularly moving, and Stephen Kenny too. A genuinely shocking thing to happen, especially poignant with him being a local lad, growing up within sight of the ground etc.
Out for a spell, got neglected, lay on the bench unselected.
Very tough for Byrne and Barry - a difficult situation for them; not a position anyone would envy. I was wondering how the programme would cover the goals from the Derry Drogs game. They managed it very deftly indeed.
That young fella Cawley really irritates me with his silly bluffing and fast speaking ability. A pity he can't state the obvious, telling us teams need to get wins on a Friday night when the weeks games were played on Saturday!!!
Also just noticed, the two "English guys are were a tie and the "Irish" guys are not. Great dress code RTE....
Pats didnt have a shirt sponsor v Rovers what is the story there, have been abroad so did i miss something?
Alan Cawley is growing on me as a pundit. I hated him at first, but he's certainly not the worst of them out there.
Just noticed on commentary there, Mark Salmon is now the Limerick captain. Handy move for him.

"Ian Turner laid the ball back to his captain Mark Salmon..."
Truly, these guys know f**k all about what they are watching.
Ha ha, thought I heard that too
Cawley must read Foot.ie as he quit with the 'so it is' after ever sentence when it was mentioned here and slowed down a bit too. He must have taken some media training. His knowledge was never in question but his presentation wasnt good but has improved a lot. Not an issue with this years studio panel being on a sofa but last season with the stools I half expected Cawley to do a full spin at some point as he swing side t side. Clinton the boy has improved too and isnt so totally Suof Landan and chatting to his mates, but he still irks with the fidgiting and even licking his lips after every sentence
I like to think that Pats jersey is sponsorless because nobody wants to be associated with their new Shels cast off kit.
