Say Your Number

Jesus that thread last night was really angry, hopefully it won't be as contentious tonight, tonight Ray is joined by....

Eamon Dunphy, Evanne Ni Chuilnn and Ted Walsh will be on to talk about Ireland's Greatest Sporting Moment, James McClean's goal against Wales presumably.

TV presenter Amanda Byram will be on to talk about her struggles behind the camera apparently.

Sharon Shannon will be on to promote her new album.

Paddy and Joan Darcy will be on to discuss the secret behind their 55 years of marriage

Last and definitely least Cian Twomey will be on to discuss his new found fame and plug a book presumably

Anyway it's all kicking off in less than half an hour no doubt all of ye are counting down the minutes till it starts.

Snap ..

We started a thread at the same time. There's more detail in yours so we'll stick with it

glenfieldman

Are mr and mrs Darcy the boys folks ?
Tell me no

sligojoek

Staffers up first.

Atlantic Dawn

Hopefully Eamo is well oiled.

That stupid intro they ripped off every US chat show from 10 years ago makes me mad then he says "Its Saturday night and we're live on the telly!" and it turns into pure hatred. Its such a stupid phrase, "live on the telly", its just so redundant.

Stumbling over a couple of words there

sligojoek

Will Eamonn cry? He doesn't seem too dry.

sligojoek

Like the time you "rode her mother" Ted

That half moon table yoke & drawers looks strange & it's makes Ray look even more awkward.

Atlantic Dawn

Those ear rings are gas.

Here we go with the comparing sporting occasions to monumental things in life, to when you got married, to 9/11, to assassination of JFK and to when your child is born and saying it should be that way... ridiculous. Just because it affects you like that doesn't mean it's a good thing, it probably means it's a bad thing.

All of those things could be said about videogames or some tv shows, yet you'd never dream of having that type of adulation about them.

Sport is a waste of time. It's a waste of time... it's a waste of time. Now if you feel you get something out of it, go ahead and do it, but don't preach about it as if it's some amazing thing.

Poignant mention of Jimmy McGee coming up.

Dunphy is jarred

Evening all

I can't seem to find two tassels from my boudoir curtains, somebody let me know if you seem 'em.

Atlantic Dawn

I take it Michelle Smith and her gold medals may not make it in?

It's a total waste of time, but you could say that about life itself. We're all going to end up dead some day. And sport is one of those things that (for many) brightens up those days as we wait for death.

Happy Saturday, everyone.

To be honest as segments on this go this is not bad.

Miserable. I'd say you're great craic at a party.

Christ she's dressed like a traveller

Ol' Donie

Eamon's on to talk about "the greats"?

What next, Giles on to talk about taking each games on it's merits?

Berserker

Ireland's Greatest Sporting Moment is going to be some All-Ireland final, the European Championships in France or Leicester city winning the premier league.

Jimmy McGee is not around any more to champion her.

So some Irish nag running faster than an English nag in a corrupt 'sport' is a great moment?

She still has those medals, you know!

Ah, it's not. If you are an avid follower of a particular team or sport, it can be an absolute roller coaster ride. Great form of drama, misery and joy.

What are those planks under Ray's table. Are they to stop the legs marking the carpet?

There is a massive interest in racehorses in Ireland. People breed them, train them, sell them, ride them. People are attached to them. It's a pass-time and people are passionate about it. God forbid this would offend you.

Grade 1 races involving top class horses are far from corrupt. But there's no point mentioning it to you. You obviously don't have a clue what you are on about.

Atlantic Dawn

There was back in the day a Packie Bonner mural painted at either Killbarrack or Howth Junction DART station based on this...

Patty O Furniture

:P Eamonn to ray, "That's all you can plug at the moment"

breanach78

I’m not a soccer fan but I remember, rehearsed BS

sligojoek

2012 cut off point. That rules out Tipps victory over Kilkenny last year so

Rock Lesnar

20-30 years ago, the last time RTE had a decent Late Late show or saturday night chatshow

paleoperson

"There's people here not even born 27 years ago".... this just made me laugh for some reason.

Interesting to note that. I attended a course a few years ago with a lady who was big into showjumping, training horses and competing. She told us that the training methods that top level horses were subjected to in that sport were quite unpleasant.

No mention of mcgregor v aldo??

BaZmO*

Save yourself the bother of watching it. It’ll be Italia 90

Atlantic Dawn

This time next week step 1 of 2 will be complete for getting to the Euros, hopefully the news is good.

Say Your Number

Very profound by Eamon

No, it's probably the greatest sporting moment that RTE can show. Other sports don't exist.

Atlantic Dawn

I recall at the time some boozers turned off the sound for the English anthem.

older i get better i was

Dross...

breanach78

****, horse man and his best moment is soccer and a soccer man his best is a horse race!

Literally the only enjoyable thing about rugby is playing "spot the prod" during Amhrán na bhFiann.

In what sport? The football qualifier next week is for the WC.

Yeah, I'm an England fan and I remember that. Used to love the reaction in the pub when I jumped and cheered when we scored.

Rock Lesnar

My greatest sporting memory is Rocky beating Ivan Drago, what a fight that was

Might as well be dead on the telly...it's that flipping snore inducing and lack luster
