Off the Ball on Newstalk

[QUOTE=“dodgy-keeper, post: 898433, member: 1552”]That Joe lad is beginning to bug me. Asks the most stupid questions, like tonight when interviewing a US journalist about the story of a fella who was blamed for planting a bomb at the Atlanta Olympics and who died recently. “Tell us about the reaction, was there a big reaction?”

He also started a piece with Gizzy Lyng about Hurler of the Year Tony Kelly a few weeks ago with the words “so tell us who Tony Kelly is?”

Parkinson actually comes across as alright some times.[/QUOTE]

No Joe is allright really,
Gilroy makes a complete eejit of himself during those 30 minute long “matey” conversations he has with yer man MacDonell on the football show as they are talking about a game on TV, especially when he tries to put on a “funny” voice saying things quickly and loud like " oh look at Moyes growling on the line as Robben scoooores" or “take that Mourinho” … of course he has nothing on George Hamilton who brilliantly stated " take that Dick Advocaat" after the Czech Republic beat Holland in Euro 2004, that was a classic.
Who is the other WOOF! merchant @Bandage who calls in via Skype some nights , he is called a "spanish football expert " by the lads… Corrigan or something is his name?

Dermot Corrigan?

Brian O’Driscoll joining as co-presenter from September.

Found his level. Right up there with Woolie Parkinson and Gizzy Lyng.

Seriously? More rugby football propaganda is the last thing that show needs. They may as well add Jackman and Thornley to the “presenting ticket.”

Looking forward to hearing “Drico’s” take on Clare’s tactical alignment under Davy Fitz, if so.

Actually it’d be good to hear him talk about other sports. He is an actual gent. It’s a surprising move though. I’d say he’ll be inwardly rolling his eyes when he has to listen to Thornley waffle on about go forward ball.

he is his fuck a gent

Awful awful show from Day 1.

Download the podcasts, pick and choose what you want to listen to, they have some good pieces alright. Don’t understand the acrimony against them tbh, a daily sports show on the radio in Ireland, not to be sniffed at and doing no harm to anyone really. More competition in this sector to rte the better.

woeful show, listened to by tards and quislings

Game On is a far superior sports programme imo.

Newstalk’s coverage of GAA matches isn’t a patch on RTÉ either.

Seamus hickey was on last night.

Shite must have missed that, on the early part of the show? Listened in on the drive back to Dublin but it was all highlights pieces.

It was early enough. Just caught it as I went into the kitchen to get a tea refill.

Game On is awful shit, The Daily Mail of Sports Radio.

Available on website and podcast

He was on about 7.30/7.45-ish. Spoke fairly well as ever.

I like listening to Daithi Regan on OTB to be honest, a lot of people don’t like him but I find him pretty decent. He’ll tell it the way it is, usually find myself agreeing with him.
