I think Dave reminded us about 5 times that 'he told us there would be goals' :-) No problem with a biased commentator or side-kick. Kind of adds to the game. Always like the lads at Drogheda and Waterford.
I remember a Rory Gaffney goal up in HArps going viral because the comentator was so slow speaking and depressed sounding as Gafffney smashed in a super strike.
I remember watching it and thinking "did that go in"?

Don't mind a bit of bias, although you'd wonder what a neutral would think. Some clubs go a bit overboard with it, but it's usually exacerbated by the team doing it being a bit **** at commentary in general, and not adding much in the way of insight.
We have the best team doing it imop but Sligo do a good job as well. Derry not bad. Special mention to UCD - cringeworthy enough to be entertaining.
21 leagues and 25 cups.
They are both class. There's a body of work there now that you'd hope could get them a TV commentary job if they wanted.
I like the Galway commentary too.
Con Murphy is a great commentator and generally likeable fella too despite allegiances, when Graham Gartland is on I enjoy his read of a game.
I like the commentators at Waterford. Not for TV standard stuff but they both seem like nice chaps. The co-comm that does most if not all weeks always sounds like he just really loves football and is generally complimentary to away clubs I find.
If there's any LOI game on and Bohs aren't playing I'd generally watch whatever is on. The streams are a great addition.
One of the young lads who did a bit of work for the Wexford FC media team did recently get a presenter's job with RTE. A handy footballer too. So it can happen!
