It’s possible he knocked it back previously. I know some others have, before eventually taking it.

I know the point of Laochra Gael is telling stories that aren’t always obvious, but they’ll have their work cut out with one or two of those.

I wonder if Vincent will go on about how he made money out of the Ukrainian’s.

3351

He should have ducked it for another year or two

The new hour-long format will be meat and drink to Cyril. You could devote the opening 15 minutes to footage of matches and the rest should just be Cyril being himself. A few oul’ yarns and his opinions of a few hurlers he may not have been particularly fond of. Cyril is a gem…

The Noel O’Leary one was a good one I remember.

There should be a barrier of about 10 years between retiring and doing the show.

I’d agree. A montage of him co-commentating stuff like ‘Nuts to monkeys Ger’ and ‘Game on Ger’ is a must too.

He’s a very generous spirit and i don’t think he will lower the blade on anyone (john denton aside)

Dublin footballers, each one more bland and monotone than the last one.

Nah, Kevin Mac has a personality. Was playing trad in Temple Bar the night before All Ireland Finals.

Harsh no? He was a serious player but playing with Antrim limited the exposure. In a stronger setup he could easily have become a household name. The Laochra Gaels are moving well down the list anyway most of the obvious names have already been covered.

Theres a case to be made for going back and redoing the half hour ones, but not sure the stomach would be there for it all.

I reckon its more because McManus comes across as a stones on The Sunday Game.

That I wouldn’t disagree with

Another head patting for Antrim. Sambo did one last year. At least he has a personality, and a story to go with it.

3362

It is what it is.

3363

Should the laochra gael pivot slightly and get the likes of Big Rob Ryan, Frank Murphy and Spike Riordan on. They’d have stories I’d say.

Tom motherfuckin Ryan

Hear more cliché’s.

If he was from Kilkenny he’d have X amount of All Ireland’s.

Anytime he went out, he played like it meant something.

C’mere like. If we want to go down that route, might as well do one on someone like Nicky Horan.
