Better than Cork's Neil Prendeville by a long shot Dodge; who for years was the only other option. A lot better. Waaaaay better. Getting the picture?

That sounds like "On the ball" sports prog at 7 pm.Listen out for the Intro each eve at the start (same one each eve) whitch includes a few famous quotes like the " prawn sandwich" one and a beauty from cycling Journo Paul Kimmage about his fellow hacks in the press room welcoming back David Millar (cyclist-convicted doper).

Off the ball used to be fairly good. They had a large selection of journos on and did a crazy amount of interviews. Last couple of months the pool seems to have got much smaller and listening to Graham Hunter tell us Barcelona and all the La Liga teams are the best in the world every night doesn't do it for me.
I also find Mr Paul Parker to be very very annoying and he just comes across as an idiot.
They have some decent coverage of the horse racing if your into that and the Eircom League hour/20 mins is good when they do it. The Friday night Eircom coverage just basically takes a dig at the league for two hours, its squashed into their American hour so when you've heard all about the latest NFL drug story or Basketballs latest rape scandal they will throw in a reference to 'mighty Waterford' or lethal 'Jason Byrne' or a host of other terms which are neither funny or informative.
Although I didnt like Ger Gilroy the show does seem to have gone down after he left.
Rugby coverage is about the only topic they do good balanced coverage of.
The soccer is awful and involves more of what manager is fighting with what player rather than discussing the actual soccer.
Also Roddy Collins is a ****** .........
Three lads sitting in a studio licking his arse for 10 mins every week is doing nothing for football in this country.
Hmmmmmmmmmmmm
and their GAA coverage is way over the top!!
John Giles is good but again they only use him for top table premiership games that get loads of coverade any way. Id love them to ask some of their guests about eircom league teams, especially when we are in europe in the same rounds as the other teams they discuss!
Think I've covered everything
Daft Dave is great![]()
