Des Curran seems to be sharing lead commentary duties with Darragh Maloney these days. If Maloney’s presenting in studio then Curran does commentary but every other game we’ll be inflicted with the Maloney/Whelan combo & Cantwell or Collins presenting. Curran is an affable sort but he doesn’t have that big game voice & he overdoes the facts/stats to make himself look knowledgeable.
“Irish fans might be familiar with the Armenian number 7 who actually played against St Pat’s in a Europa League qualifier back in 2019.” Sure Des.
George and ger canning were the voiceovers to an INCREDIBLE amount of ICONIC moments despite no one seeming to like them. About 20 times more each than Micheal o muireafarthaigh
He’s painful. He’s like your girlfriend rabbitting on beside you about shit in Penneys while your trying to watch the game.
The art of commentary is knowing when to shut the fuck up and let people watch the game.
You’ve kind of proved my point there. The unbelievable esteem he’s held in yet every single all Ireland final in hurling and football and most other big gaa matches you watched in your life were done by ger canning. And more or less every single big Irish soccer match in the glory years was done by George Hamilton. Good and all we he was you heard bits of Micheal here and there if you were in the car on a Sunday and thats it.
