Anyone watching the pre-match debate? BIG SACKS (Tyrone) - Posts: 1681 - 12/07/2015 14:00:56 1751757 Link 0 |
Kevin McStay comes across as quite pro Dublin in my own opinion. THE_SNAPPER (Louth) - Posts: 2019 - 12/07/2015 14:38:35 1751772 Link 0 |
They should have been doing in dept analysis of where Westmeath players needed to be set up to have a proper organised blanket defebce which they keep talking about. At half time Spillane said its an awful game, what did you want? If Westmeath went out and played man to man the game would have been over after 10 minutes. To be honest I'm starting to enjoy watching the Sky Pundits. They analyze the tactical side and show player positioning etc instead of this cliche nonsense on Rte PoppinPoints (Meath) - Posts: 225 - 12/07/2015 15:20:20 1751788 Link 0 |
They're not all bad, but there are a number of pundits on the Sunday Game clearly there to cause controversy and others who just talk jibberish, without offering enough considered analysis. I'd love the RTE to get Jim McGuinness on board. His opinions on just about any subject always seem well thought out and clear enough for everyone to understand. He would make a great addition to the panel, and would blow any ridiculous comments from the other panelists out of the water. Ballboy (Dublin) - Posts: 88 - 12/07/2015 15:29:49 1751797 Link 0 |
You would never hear a Tyrone fellow saying anything if it was Mulligan in the chair 4KHDoneill (Derry) - Posts: 182 - 12/07/2015 17:36:20 1751874 Link 0 |

it's amazing how many times Brolly uses the word "Donegal" during analysis of games that don't envovle Donegal. s goldrick (Cavan) - Posts: 5518 - 12/07/2015 18:56:37 1751975 Link 0 |
To be fair to the pundits it was a hard job to concentrate on such a one sided affair. This is not Dublin's fault but this was awful tv. I know it's not possible but RTE would have better served if they could have shown Tyrone v Meath, Fermanagh v Roscommon or Armagh v Galway.

I thought that Joe Brolly was very negative on the Sunday game last night. In contrast Ciaran Whelan was excellent. Not just saying that because he was full of praise for Kildare's performance against Cork. I like his contributions and his analysis every week. Sound man. lilywhite1 (Kildare) - Posts: 2984 - 27/07/2015 15:13:17 1759770 Link 0 |
Ciaran Whelan is very good. You could see him talking about Kildare last night and Brolly wanting to let loose.... yew_tree (Mayo) - Posts: 11219 - 27/07/2015 15:16:30 1759774 Link 0 |
Yeah Joe was irritating trying to get his point across and interupting Whelan all the time who atleast was offering some proper analysis. Dubsfan28 (Dublin) - Posts: 2509 - 27/07/2015 15:26:25 1759781 Link 0 |
Donal Og? I agree with you. Ðes Cahill made the mistake of allowing him an open mic to bash people who weren't there to defend themselves. What Cahill should have done was to challenge him about the failure of the sweeper against Galway as Donal Og had been lauding it in previous Cork wins. He should also have asked him what he is doing at ground level in Cork to improve things for youngsters. And even ask him why JBM saw fit to get rid of him. westisthebest (Galway) - Posts: 444 - 27/07/2015 15:29:12 1759783 Link 0 |

Never mind that, the coverage last night was shocking. No coverage of the Penalty incident in the Fermanagh game. One of the biggest talking points yet they didn't see it. Does anyone else think Hughes is being lined up for the AI final? gotmilk (Fermanagh) - Posts: 4971 - 27/07/2015 15:38:29 1759793 Link 0 |
The Sunday Game is not a political forum for Cork G.A.A. and its problems. But boy do Cork G.A.A. and its politics/structures have problems! People should keep an open mind about the strikes too and not just assume that it was a load of prima donnas behaving like overpaid soccer players and wielding 'player power'. It wasn't. There was a VERY good reason for those strikes. findra (Cork) - Posts: 40 - 27/07/2015 15:39:39 1759796 Link 0 |
Ciaran Whelan is the best (actually he is the ONLY good football analyst in my opinion). However last night I think was not the best. bennybunny (Cork) - Posts: 3917 - 27/07/2015 15:44:14 1759801 Link 0 |
Donal Og overstepped the mark last night. I like him. I respect him. If the Cork county board appointed him as coach to the senior team, I would welcome him with open arms. They never will and he knows that they dislike him strongly so he has his forum to take pot shots at him. It is wrong and embarrassing. His figures are bland and do not tell the whole story either. bennybunny (Cork) - Posts: 3917 - 27/07/2015 15:48:38 1759806 Link 0 |

Ciaran wheelan is a very good pundit in fairness but joe brolly needs to be got rid of, Kerry weren't playing the weekend and brolly managed to mention us at least 20 times ffs get over it joe, Hughes gave the peno and cork still had 20 mins to win the game it's not like it was a last minute penalty. Joe is very nervous of Kerry this year and of that I am very happy. But his anti Kerry biased is gone beyond a joke at this stage.
