Nice to hear. I'm looking forward to this show. I really hope RTE will give a damn this time.

Hopefully that'll be as part of their main panel. That's 8 people so I don't know where he'll fit in. It would be nice to have someone who won't just trot out hackeyed clich�s about the club.

I don't know. I reckon it'd just be easier to offer a �10,000 contract on the life of the first journalist or pundit to use one of the phrases "difficult to break down" or "a hard place to go looking for three points" about us.

If the amount of preperation RTE are putting into this is anything to go by its going to be great!

I'll have to buy that widescreen TV I was going to get a while ago to make sure that Lurch fits on my screen...

Rico mentioned that "The students will have learned a lesson". Groan!

No sign of Tony tonight on MNS. He must be part of the pool of analysts or co-commentators for live games.

That or they'll be rotating the panel to keep them fresh for European games.
