Stephen Kelly

[Razors left peg]

Is it just me or is he absolutely dreadful on co-commentary?

I actually thought he was excellent, I commented on it with some mates

[backstothewall]

His voice hasn't broken yet, give him more time.

This is it. It's not what he says so much as the voice he says it with. It sounds like he's there on work experience.

[Acornvilla]

He is always very high tempo, perhaps speaking too quickly, generally very excited. Could probably do with taking a breath every now and again, I'm sure it's a much tougher job than you'd think, at least he sounds happy to be there, I'd take him over Ronnie Whelan any day.

[Drummerboy2]

I think Kelly is one of the better co commentators. He is very insightful.

[CraftyToePoke]

I think his observations are the obvious ones and really weak.
& he's a dose to listen to.

I was on a commentary-free live stream (ViaPlay Interenational on Youtube) which I synced with RTE radio commentary. It worked well. Cunningham was the in-game co-comms and Pat Fenlon was the studio analyst. It was good quality discussion.

[backstothewall]

He's not much better in the studio as it turns out. Bring back Duffer.

[seanfhear]

He's not much better in the studio as it turns out. Bring back Duffer.

And Duff Beer.

[Jolly Red Giant]

He's not much better in the studio as it turns out. Bring back Duffer.

Bring back Johnny bloody Giles - even at 83 he is sharper than any of the current crowd

[backstothewall]

Darragh Maloney does a decent enough job as a presenter when he's in the studio but he's a dreadful commentator. Peter Collins is competely wooden. Houghton is awful. Kelly is awful

It's a bad show. More bad parts than good. At a time when other broadcasters are making a point of giving opportunities to women it's hard to imagine things would be any worse if someone like Niamh Fahey got a chance. There has to be somrone from the 2023 squad who can talk on camera and would be interested in doing media work.
