Jewel?!!! Bwahahahaha!

Portlaoise is a hole mate.

I see what you did there. Isn’t LINKe from Inistioge? Shur it couldn’t have then, he would turn the car over every weekend.

Fuck me. All this media attention about the cats nearly beaten is only going to fire up one team.

Killkenny is a lovely county. Quite gentrified.

389

It is, and Inistioge is a particularly lovely spot as well as being the home of one of the best ever hurlers. Strange comment from the usually sensible MBB. :grinning:

They do a great interview. Richie powers opening four words on sundaywere, and I quote, “yes, no, ah , absolutely”*

  • may not be 100% accurate.

I think there’s a few younger pundits , recently retired types, that need to be used more . You can keep the older cliche crowd for match day
 But I like JJ Delaney and I think Seamus Hickey will be good too
 But these types need to be rolled out in a slightly more engaging show on a week night, not a highlights show per se, but more nuts and bolts with an emphasis on tactics etc etc
what we currently have is half amateur hour half tripe and it’s led by the same pipers.

JJ is excellent. Has everything you need for it.

Fact is sky have the most suitable lads.

Hickey was good on Newstalk as a half time pundit on yesterday’s game. He’s a fantastic speaker in fairness to him and read the game superbly.

394

Inistoige is a fine spot. There isn’t many around the place would pick Portlaoise over it anyways!

395

This is it, we live in an age now where we should be listening to these guys a bit more now rather than bit parts 
 Ger and Cyril are fine for a few laughs on match day but as forums like this show, we’ve long moved on from that in the information age.

Some man to sell insulation as well

JJ should be good at analysis, Martin Fogarty and Brian Cody always say he was the best in-game reader of a match they had, not just reading his own position but the match as a whole

Good interview with Derek McGrath on Newstalk - prior to Sunday’s game
