RTE World Cup Gatecrasher

i like the idea of it. think it would be a lot better if it was longer. not much insight to behind the scenes WC can be fitted into a few mins. they would have to uncover something pretty spectacular to make any kind of impact in such a short slot

So we are all agreed then. It is a brilliant insightful little gem of a segment and hopefully RTE will do the right thing and give it a full hour long show.

With you presenting it Bill

Nobody could replace Ger Gilroide.......
Maybe Ger should log in and answer his critics and leave his phone number...?????

They should have given the camera to gspain, seems like he's having more craic than Gilroy!!

It was an interesting concept and a good name - judging by the reaction here it hasn't been a success. I just saw the interview with Staunton which I enjoyed but haven't really watched the rest. I flick over to the other stations to see how Gabby Yorath is looking and what Drunkphy's twin brother, Ian Wright, has to say.

I didnt realise saying something was ****e four times in a row was symptomatic of the fact you read rubbish magazines. The point I was getting across was that it's such a short and absolutely empty segment that it's hard to explain why it's crap. It just is

he was actually on it there last night! - surprised he hasnt caught up with more irish fans over there - does anyone remember his comment about irish people wearing GAA tops abroad? I could have it totally arse ways - but i thought he was kind of laughing at them for it - again could be totally wrong

**pete** · 02/07/2006, 11:17 AM

Saw my first gatecrasher clip last night. Woeful is not low enough.

3 minutes interview in a pub somewhere that was almost a week old so Argentina already played their next game and lost. LMAO.

Bad form there in my view, Gspain is one of the best posters on this site and his diary the other day made very interesting reading.

Something about it being the most embarrasing thing about being Irish - Irish people wearing GAA tops when abroad.

Not strange at all - they're a fcukin embarrassment.

And Meigh Eo are the biggest offenders, I find. Personally, I'd want to keep that one quiet, but then...

I meant your comments on Ger Gilroys fashion sense. Who gives a damn he is a guy could not care what he wears.

**Beavis** · 04/07/2006, 10:20 AM

Dub and proud so I wear the jersey. Is it any different than wearing an eL jersey abroad?(which I've also done)

Not really, wearing any football top abroad is sad if you ask me. But at least people know what the fook football is, as opposed to GAA that means nothing to them.

**Beavis** · 04/07/2006, 10:47 AM

I'm not seeking attention or trying to make a statement everytime I wear a Dubs jersey (maybe sometimes ie match days or when in some boghole). People wear them daily in this country why do you need to do any differently when away? I find its useful abroad for identifying other irish people. I dont understand the cause for embarrassment is.
