Ha! I've literally said this to four people in the past hour or two. And the NFL show isn't on for bleedin ages.

I'd be interested in hearing Billy Walsh, even if it does mean I'll have to whinge about the awfulness of boxing as a sport.

No. Not at all. I find it very hard to watch sometimes.

The "fun" bits feel like they're designed by someone who's just ticking a box for their boss, and are presented by a fella who acts like he has one eye on his watch for home time.

Ash.J.Williams

So Irish... We owned amateur boxing for about 5min based on a solid system, good people and a hefty budget.... But they had to stick their nose in.. Undermine the boss and feck up possibly forever.... Unless Bernard Dunne is the Messiah

Ol' Donie

Oh, and I don't care what anyone from Westlife has to say about anything.

I don't care.

TheRiverman

Markus or whatever his name is must be doing well in the music business,I have never heard of him since Westlife broke up.

Skid X

I saw Markus Feehily live when he was supporting Wet Wet Wet and I thought he was very good.

Evening all.

Not a word out of ye about Mark Feehily. His father and my late father in law were first cousins so he's related to my children. I did a few jobs for his father and I was always well looked after.

Skid X

Splendid OP, by the way.

Way better than this programme deserves.

TheRiverman

Just watching the weather forecast on RTE1.Evelyn Cusack was talking about the latest hurricane with Texas spelled as Texax on the weather map.Was it a spelling mistake or can it also be Texax ?

''He's big in Asia.''

Oh, evening all.

Atlantic Dawn

Wonder will he ask him if he likes De Donald?

It is always that way.

The company here makes the program bearable.

What's with the little desk?

sligojoek

Who has the biggest hands? Off to a good start.

Vorenus400

Wonder will the Irish rowers outdo the boxers in future olympics if they get enough teams qualified

Berserker

Evening all. Wow, cheering a win over Moldova. Comparing hand sizes, great start. Reminds me of Jack Kelly in It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia

I imagine its the opposite of Tubs big desk. To show that Ray likes being near people. It could just be a random design choice though

All my Xs live in Texas.

And the obligatory "How did you feel?".

Skid X

I am mostly watching the Darts at the moment, it's anyones to win.

Well, when I say anyone - Whitlock or Gurney.

RobertKK

The small desk is there for an optical illusion to make Ray look bigger.

Berserker

Sounding Americanized. Jaysus Ray, hes only been there a short while.

Atlantic Dawn

So a country with only 60 times the population of Ireland wins more medals than us, what a shocker.

How did it make you feel...

Ol' Donie

On the one hand, I really admire this guy and his teams. What they've done takes exceptional commitment and ability.

On the other hand no one should ever get a medal for punching people.

sligojoek

How did you feel watching that?

Atlantic Dawn

He must be on a nice dollar over in USA.

TheRiverman

Schwarzenegger and a waxwork of Stallone in Escape Plan on Channel 4.

Atlantic Dawn

Will Ray ask him what is his favourite Rocky filum?

Mena Mitty

Is Theresa May in the audience one wonders.

Can it be a draw?

I hate darts. Only because I'm staggeringly bad at it. And I don't think I've ever playing it without sticking at leaston dart in at least one of my fingers.

My favourite? Rocky IV

Will somebody hand Ray a P45 live on-air?

walshb

Ray yet to mention Bernard on last week and his being the official high performance director..

Ol' Donie

Did he mention Kevin Doyle earlier?

Would it be fair to ask him about Doyler's reasons for retiring and the dangers of brain injury?

I want to vote for plain old Rocky Road, the cake yoke.

No wait, the ice cream flavour.

That's a 21st. Birthday ruined.

sligojoek

Jaysus, he's spending more time in the audience than on stage.
