I listened to one of her preview pieces for the Leinster club football semi finals there back in November; she must have just studied the GAA cliché handbook and got this role on Off the Ball. Absolutely terrible.
@peddlerscross would be great in the role
I figured he was her.
She’s very poor.
I’d make a serious ‘broadcaster’.
Ais is one of the best female commentators around, fairly low standard that it is.
There’s something very likable about Ashling
Aisling plays for Ratoath. We’d have fierce time for her in the local.
Over exposure is an awful thing. Once upon a time she was the forum’s Fenian princess.
Who’s this fellah doing the gah now? He’s like a Woolie tribute act, I thought Woolie had a bit of a speech impediment but it seems to be an accent???
Slagging a top broadcasters accent…… poor Wollie
What’s this?
Woolie doesnt pronounce his Ts a lot of the time, I thought it was just him, maybe he couldn’t? But this guy sounds the very same
I’m old school. Despite speaking with an accent where I fail to pronounce my Ts quite a lot and say “me” instead of “my” as a possessive adjective, I like broadcasters to pronounce their Ts and say “my” instead of “me”.
This is a matter of basic professionalism.
It’s also why it’s very hard to take people with a League Of Ireland accent seriously, such as, say, Stephen Kenny or that League Of Ireland fan who keeps saying “fuck” when he’s a guest on the Second Captains podcast.
The simple fact is thick variations of certain accents make people sound, well, thick.
I’m nearly certain it was Michael Verney heard a bit in the car earlier
Woolie’s 17k lodged in AIB Portlaoise every month crosses all the T’s. It’s all good.
I am not sure if the Dublin crowd think having some fella with a thick country accent appeals to GAA people on the radio. I agree though that they should be able to “talk proper” on thon radio. You can still keep your accent while pronouncing your Ts. That accent / Woolie accent drives me mad.
Midlands accent rather than any kind of speech impediment I would say.

THere is a football bogger accent like there is a horse racing accent
