MNS- best analyst

**DmanDmythDledge** · 06/05/2008, 11:23 AM

Could we get a poll going on this.

Rico- very good when he doesn't waffle

Roddy- only their to provide entertainment and an alternative viewpoint. Doesn't offer much insight into anything

Sean Connor- decent enough but a touch of Roddy about him

Liam Mackey- best so far imo.

Richard Sadlier- very good too. Was wondering what he would be like.

Colm Foley- seems decent enough but not as good as some of the others

Tony McDonnell- same really

Of the others that have featured I thought Neil O'Riordan was good and would like to see him again. One gripe I have though is that firstly the pool of analysts is too large and three on a programme is too many as each person ends up saying very little (apart from Roddy).

Some are better than others, but the policy of varying guests is a big plus. They should invite Paul Osam and his mask in for a Halloween special!

rico is the best i think, daniel mcdonnell would be decent if they could get him as well he usually talks alot of sense in his articles on the league from what ive read

sean connors talks a lot of crap knows nothing about football

Defo Sadlier if you ask me, very professional and knows what hes talking about. Plus hes alot easier to listen to than Dave Barry.

Colm Foley's been my favourite on it. He's the most genuine character there. He doesn't put on a show, he's not forced, he's not there to get his face on the telly. He just acts naturally.

foley and mackey are prob the best, rico is that bad by talks ****e some times others are just muppets

I seen a few of them now and it reminds me more and more of an Arts review programme. Especially the clothing and regional accents.

Liam Mackey is the Tom Paulin character obviously.

Not unless one of the major newspapers employs a female journalist to cover the eL. I can't think of any, offhand. 'Tis a shame, as there are several female eL fans I know who would be absolutely fantastic panellists. I wouldn't count myself in that number, though - I probably belong to the Rico school of rambling.

Richard Sadlier surprised me with how astute an analyst he is, he is very direct and his statements are generally spot-on.

I really like Philip Quinn as a writer but it has to be said that television is not his medium...

Fella on the left last night with the d4 accent

**RedRebel32** · 06/05/2008, 5:43 PM

ya the guy who had his legs crossed last night was actually excellent imo

roddy is roddy, a complete idiot. con defiantely is the better host and i think rico being a recent ex manager of a club in the league is a great bonus.hopefully a few great quotes over the year in store

i think there should be a fans part added to the show. an insight into the life of a EL fan from a different club each week.maybe a few days on the away day supporters bus

**micls** · 06/05/2008, 6:45 PM

Rico
Foley
Mackey

**neville neville** · 06/05/2008, 7:06 PM

i like Roddy. never thought i'd say that but he's entertaining. similar to dunphy really. an idiot but an entertaining idiot

Here's a great Rico quote from his MNS website column from 25th April:
