Listening to it here. Heartfelt stuff from Ronan.
Ronan Collins seems an alright sort too.

Another fella staring down the gun you’d imagine.
In running
Des Cahill 4/5
Ronan Collins 10/11
Richie Sadlier 50/1
Bound to be a bit of that but I’ve always liked Ronan since being on the end of a bad minded personal attack from Louis Walsh and refusing to lower himself to that level.

Are those odds for the “Next to die” market or just to die in 2020?
with the cadence those eulogies were posted on RTE you’d anticipate they were written previously and ready to go once it was showtime
maybe they have a gamut of material pre written for all their elder statesmen?
Marty whelan would wanna look both ways when crossing the road.
yeah Ronan Collins is sound
does an excellent job commentating on olympic weightlifting cc @Sidney

Marty is a lot younger than you think. Early sixties. He’s got plenty more years in the tank.
example of the above
this wasnt written off the cuff
I hope you skipped the part where Gonzaga de-listed him after he negotiated his own Warsaw pact.

I know nothing of his personal life but Larry always seemed like an alright sort to me. RIP
He was sick by the sounds of it
yeah - that would explain it - its a dismal enough assignment to be given tho all the same
There’s someone in all major newspapers who spends their time updating obits for famous people. It’s a bit like the celeb deaths thread I suppose trying to guess who’s next to go
I’d imagine celeb obits could be interesting in itself. You’d uncover a lot about a person you probably didn’t know before and given the individual you could probably knock some enjoyment (possibly not the best word, but its early still) out of it.
I’ve a feeling rte won’t do their nuts over Larry like they did Marian. He’ll barely get ten minutes on the late late this Friday I’d say. He was a man of the people and just wasn’t woke enough.
