Apparently he also has the best 6 pack, must have been that belgium lager you can get down in aldi !

I know I am not the target audience for that 60 thing but thats wearing thin now too. RTE need to freshen up the format as can't stick with same for an entire season. Event the punditry is getting TV-esque. Dare I say maybe they need Roddy on more as at least provokes debate.

**WoodquayBoy** · 10/06/2008, 10:22 AM

That 60 is real hit or miss. I mean 'jumpers or goalposts?' - what the hell kind of question was that? You could see her struggling for questions about halfway through.
Can they not show team line-ups as part of highlights of game??
Also, the penalty that Waterford didn't get. The game was on Friday, The highlights were Monday. A total of 72 hours to get the name of the United offender correct, and they couldn't even manage that (it was Vinny Faherty, not John Fitzgerald as stated).
By the by, presume that means Mark Gough can expect a few weeks off now. As stonewall a penalty as there ever has been.

I agree. Maybe its just me but even if I do not read match reports in the paper I always have a glance at team line outs for other teams.

I might have misheard but during the Pats-Longford game did they say
that full back Alan "Chunky" O'Riorden filled in when Gallagher was suspended???
I was half asleep so they might have correctly called him Chucky, but sounded
like Chunky!

**Longfordian** · 10/06/2008, 11:34 AM

Yeah yer man called him 'Chunky' alright, I doubt he'll be impressed.

**gufcfan** · 10/06/2008, 12:46 PM

I heard "Chunky" aswel.

**rambler14** · 11/06/2008, 9:57 PM

Yeah I heard Chunky too!

What about that Pat Jennings? He's absolutely awful. He's been on the last 2 MNS' and each time they've showed him fookin up. His attempts at kicking in the Shams match were disgraceful for a footballer.

Richard Brush is surely better than that waste of space???.............which I personally think he is!

I only seen one good thing from that man in the match he made 1 good save I mean come on both of his failures were on the good, the bad and the ugly section! and why wasnt the thing with Seamy Coleman on ? would they have ran out of time to show it ?

**Derry** · 12/06/2008, 1:44 PM

Very dissappointing that they didn't show all the cup games.

He made one decent save and it was offside when he made it, terrible goalkeeper.

So,its not as if he knew he was offside. He had a few good saves against pats on the first game of the season. But as said he can't kick or catch the ball,hopefully derry will take him back but I can't see it happening tbh.

was raising the point that when he does make a decent save it doesn't count. i think personally that he is focused on pressure he feels is there and expectations because of his father. well derry will have to give him a home because we don't need a liability in goals and it will get to our defense if we have him protecting the goals. I'll die of shock if brush isn't in against ucd. hopefully no more coverage in the too bad section

Wexford Youths v Killester

They never made any secret of the fact that they wouldn't be showing all the games.
Didn't show Fingal v Cobh either iirc.

**Magicme** · 12/06/2008, 3:41 PM

Monaghan United - v- UCD but like Wexford we will get another chance at that being shown!

They didn't have cameras there (I presume) so they couldn't show highoughts, but thids was the one game I was surprised they didn't show, effectively the shock of the round given Athlone's lowly position.
Great win for them, and would have been nice to see the Lissy as well. Then again, looks like we'll be making a couple of trips there next season, so time enough I suppose!
