Bohs v Derry

[sbgawa]

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"?

[Larry 'da' Wyse]

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.

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.

Id agree with ourselves and Drogheda being as good as any of them
Both are commentated on by the same people who have been commenting on both teams games on local radio stations LMFM for years, which helps

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.

I must say the lad at Longford who does the BTW podcast is decent too, although he gets very excited when Longford score
Id say since loi TV started I've watched more Longford and Sligo home games than anyone else as they are always on a Saturday

Cobh commentator is the king of getting excited for goals, or it's a gain/proximity issue

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!
