He said Sarri ?
Frehill, and others at RTE, have a terrible habit of giving loads of irrelevant details and not include the critical bits.
For instance, Frehill announced that they were going to ‘Newry’ for an update. The reporter came on and spoke completely about Armagh (I was surprised that Armagh were playing there - but they were), how they had missed chances, their injuries and eventually how they were leading by one. Then onto the next match. At no point was it mentioned who Armagh were playing.
To me, such carry on is a sack-able offence surely.
I’ve almost given up on Sunday Sport. It is dreadful. It usually reaches it’s annual nadir on the final day of the National Football league whereby all the permutations of promotion/relegation are decided. They inevitably make a cock up of it and promote/relegate one or more teams incorrectly before more confusion is played out live on air before it’s left eventually to some halfway competent person like Pat McAuliffe to say who is actually up or down.

That day is gas ok . From 2 pm the references to the “ pocket calculators “ .
It’s just so bad.
If there’s two matches that will decide promotion they never make allowances for something like, God forbid, one of those matches ending in a draw.
And the whole working out the scoring differences if three teams are locked on the same points may as well involve Einstein.
Morning Ireland in general can be a farce
the amount of telephone conversations that don’t connect or have interference on the other end is very frequent and then this phenomena of where the wrong audio clip plays - one time during a commercial breaks the ads were on and in the background there was Ciaran Mullooly cc @Bandage talking away about some cycle he was doing along the banks of the river barrow
oh yeah
" and at 4 minutes to 8 and it’s the weather with Harm Luyx"
delay, turning to longer delay , off he starts talking

yes that an an inability to read out GAA results properly - instead engaging in this type of description of the result where they explain it to the audience
“and a win for Fermanagh is it against Roscommon… Roscommon 11 points, fermanagh 1 9 so that’s 12… so it looks like Fermanagh, yes Fermanagh have got the all important win there in Brewster Park, sorry no i mean Dr. Hyde Park would you believe haha, 11 points to a goal and 9, ana away win for the ernesiders”

“So that’s Fermanagh promoted it looks like, that’s a great win for the FARNEY men there… but I’m just looking at the table now and it actually looks like it’s Armagh who could pip them by virtue of a superior head to head. Last time we checked Armagh trailed by a point away to Cavan. We’ll just check up on that now as we go for a quick break. Ha ha where else would you get this drama!”
Resumes after the break - “would you believe it, it’s actually Cavan who will go up!”

That sounds exaggerated but the terrible thing is that it is 100% true.
This thread is very entertaining.

Its a pity all the hurling didnt go ahead today as it would have been a giant clustercuck trying to do the qf permutations. In any case they’ll still mess it up when the 3 remaining fixtures will be played.

Aberdeen were playing Inverness , aash Rangers in the Scottish Cup
Was listening to rte 1 out for a drive there. Its a terrible format.
Martin kiely hasnt a notion what is going on. They cut to dublin laois as dublin scored a goal. Cut back 5 minutes later to say no goal but no reason as to why. *that wasn’t Kiely
Frehill called out the points in the league. Limerick seven, KK 4, cork 4 etc. Oh and Clare have 5!!!
Sequencing wasn’t his mathematical forte .
Justin Treacy just commented that Leitrim have been promoted to Division 1.
He makes a mistake each time that he does the news.

Not the biggest fuck up though. The one reporting on the weather said to reduce distance between car in front of you.
