I’d like to see a Venn diagram of water protestors and Irish rugby supporters. Paul Murphy would be on his own in the middle.
I was about to come on and post the same. In the lengthy piece about the protests, all she seemed concerned about was where the different protestors coming up from the country would be watching ‘the match’.
She must have mentioned ‘the match’ about 30 times in the first 20 minutes. At least, I was consoled by my girlfriend asking is there some big match on today. Not everyone lives in Marian’s bubble

I had a listen to a “Second Captains” podcast last night and while I’m increasingly coming to detest the presenters, I was encouraged by Eoin McDevitt mentioning that some people he was talking to during the week didn’t know the Ireland rugby team had to play another match today after their defeat last Saturday, mistakenly assuming that it had been a knockout competition.
I’ve grown to dislike those Second Captains lads quite a bit too.
Wouldn’t be like you to grow to dislike something you used to like when it seems the opinion of the board is shifting that way.
I thought it was ironic that Ken Early mentioned the classic Stewart Lee Top Gear comedy sketch* on a recent programme, because they have descended into Top Gear-style smugness, and their television show is clearly modelled on Top Gear.
In Early’s defence, he appears to be uneasy with this editorial direction and “Murph” (followed by McDevitt) is by far the worst culprit and is clearly driving it all.
*McDevitt hadn’t ever seen it, which is telling.
I miss the programme since leaving Ireland. I don’t miss the rugby tittle tattle though.
My New Year resolution was to avoid her on Saturday and Sunday. Have managed to do it quite easily.
True but couldn’t avoid it this morning as we weren’t in our own house.
I’ve made the resolution to stop listening to George Hook’s show on a Friday. That Ciara Kelly one is an unbearable stuck up cow. She’d even make Marian seem bearable
McDevitt was on twitter a while back ridiculing Mick McCarthy’s best XI played with selection. His main gripe was Big Mick choosing Paul McStay over Roy Keane. While Big Mick should be above being questioned, anyone with any knowledge of football would acknowledge McStay was vastly superior to the square passing, faux hardman, Walker’s Leprechaun. McDevitt is the type of chap whose first “sport” is rugby football.
Nice one glas
I notice there’s no aggressive retort either
He knows when he’s beat I suppose
I meant Marian’s show.
I listen to Second Captains irregularly. US Murph is someone I enjoy listening to.
As another aside my main sporting regret is being totally on the wrong side of the Keane McCarthy debate. Would like to see McCarthy manage our country again partly so as I can make amends and help lessen the guilt.
I believe his first sport is association football but he does seem like the sort of chap who would have decided not to support Ireland because Roy Keane walked away from the World Cup.

The quicker that Cork cunt retires from all broadcasting the better. Awful cunt of a man.
Pat McQuaid on now. In fairness, Marian has done her research and has some tough questions lined up. No accounting for the fact that McQuaid’s standard interview strategy is to just outright lie which is hard to prepare for.
Terribly sad story Pat had about not being able to go to the Olympics after he raced in South Africa. If mental gymnastics was an Olympic sport he would surely have won gold.
He’s now comparing GAA club players dropping dead on the pitch to cyclists dying in their sleep from EPO use. Fucking hell. Surprised he didn’t lump the likes of Carl O’Malley in.
Great line up this morning.
i) Doping in cycling.
ii) Media coverage of the Paris supermarket siege.
iii) Irish Water incompetence.
iv) How to make Robert De Niro’s favourite chocolate cake.
Belated apology noted but not yet accepted.
Blake O’Donnell and Jerry Beades have dropped in for an Americano, which coincidentally is also what Blake’s voice sounds like.
