+1. He really is brutal. Repeatedly getting names and referee decisions wrong. What hold does he have on RTE?

Wasn’t that why Lyster had to go?

I used to say that about the RTE commentators but then TV3 got the rights for a few matches and all was forgiven!! :pac:

Only for contract employees. 65 is retirement age. Michael lyster had to go as he was contract

Not a fan of the Wexford accent then ? And sure ger canning can see the pairc from where he lives so as much of a pain as he is he was always going to be commentating on this game.

Micheal Lyster was a full time contract RTE staff employee so had to retire at 65.Canning is now 68,so he must not be on full time contract and didn't have to retire at 65.

Bar in certain jobs it's pretty much illegal to force people to retire at 65 even if contract says it.

I thought Michael decided to wrap it up because of his health.

Strange. He’s said elsewhere that he had no choice but to go.

The White Feather

Maybe he was just told to say ill health. Hard to know

obi604

Patrick Horgan is some hurler.

He’s had a heart attack so he couldn’t be in the best of health anyway.

Mantis Toboggan

Must say I like Joanne Cantwell.

Thanks for that..............

Watching League Sunday back, that’s some size of a set they have now.

Also, really like Hugh Cahill on commentary. Was wondering where he want after they gave Marie Crowe his slot on Game On.

grbear

Anyone know what match is being shown live on Sunday?

Out of the three possibilities Meath-Mayo is probably the worst match on paper but it looks like it'll have the highest stakes as it already looks like an all or nothing game for Meath.

JUst checked and it looks like Tyrone v Kerry live and Donegal v Galway deferred

Brilliant again from TG4

Might be of interest to someone here. its the second tier colleges competition, cant remember the name. Is it Trench Cup?

Great stuff, nice bonus on a Wednesday night.

Is there a link for that, I can’t see it.

ShamoBuc

Great start for Carlow. Poor tactics by UCC, passing the ball literally 10 times and still inside their own half.
Their centre back was poor form the first goal, gave away a free, got booked and missed a free-bad start indeed.
Kingston is a beautiful hurler in the corner and has looked very sharp.

ShamoBuc

Great game, TG4 playing a belter yet again.

I'd imagine they might show the kk vs wexford game live now. Hopefully anyway!

Limerick Waterford is off.

big_drive

Probably would have been better if the GAA just called off all games in block. At least then every county would be at same stage

Same As

Clare vs Laois Live

Wexford vs Kilkenny Deferred

is Clare v laois definitely going ahead? seems odd that a game in Ennis would go ahead when games in Galway and limerick were called off. orange weather warning is for West coast isn't it?

The Clare county board have done a lot of work with the drainage of the pitch so that won't be a problem. It's the 70 mph winds that will be the main issue. The GAA are giving the ultimate 2 fingers to players and fans with this rubbish carry-on. I'm raging with anger. Once again the interests and safety of players, management's and fans are not a top priority with the GAA blazers in Croke Park.

Yes that's what I was thinking too. A pitch being playable is one thing but whether a game should be played during an orange weather warning and all that comes with that is another matter. might be called off closer to throw in which brings other problems as people will have travelled already

TheMilkyPirate

Clare and laois shown live ahead of Wexford v Kilkenny? Strange.

Brian017

Do we really need a full production team for a live match? They could've just let the commentary team at Wexford Park handle HT too and show that live instead

Since the featured live game between Galway and Tipp got called off in Salthill the sensible option for production crews was to go to Ennis and with that the Clare v Laois is the live game.

davycc

What time is the Clare game going to start and also the Wexford game after i presume?

I checked the Tg4 website and they have Tipp game first just before two p.m.?

Confusing baxtards!

Several flashes of lightening and gusty squally winds here in Ennis as I post this!
