yeah, he’s usually around the city ground and villa park
Does anyone remember Tony Sheehan of RTE radio fame…soccer reports circa 1960.
He prefaced every summary with “My game today was at Tolka Park” before blathering on about Johnny Fullam.
An early incarnation of @dodgy_keeper…"Just in from (insert cunthole)"…
Brian Carthy. Better known for radio commentary where he can go 15-20 minutes without mentioning the score. A shot for Westmeath and a pooooiiiinnnnttttt for Westmeath. And it’s to the left and wide. Etc etc. But can also be found giving match updates/reports on Radio One which feel like he’s reading a bedtime story.
How so?
You grew up listening to this driving to and from games with your auld fella…
Where’s I’m Michael McMullen gone?
Is there any way to listen to Radio 5 Live on iphone???
You need to come up with more hobbies or get out more dude. Have you started work in Cork yet or what’s the story?
The one that stands out for me would always be Mícheál Ó Muircheartaigh. He became famous due to his eloquence and turn of phrase during live commentary but the man could aptly sum up a match in two minutes better than anyone I’ve ever heard.
You truly cannot appreciate this until you’ve heard a play-by-play ‘summary’ of a match from Liam Spratt of South East Radio.
Pat McAuliffe is a true gentleman, I sat behind him in a press box in a professional capacity about 10 years ago and I was very impressed at the ease his was able to call in his updates to 2FM, maintaining his relaxed demeanor throughout.
None of the others stand out to me.
It was a joke, pal…we really need to work on our e-relationship.
You can e-fuck off

@ChocolateMice hasn’t worked a day in his life
Tunein blocks 5Live if you are outside the UK when they are doing live commentaries like the Saturday 3pm kick offs
Yeh that’s the problem I’m looking for solution to.
You’ll have to define work there for me, Mick-a-leen.
Have you tried shoving your thumb up your arse, Finbar?
Exactly
Is that how you culchies get your radio commentries?
Carthy isn’t the worst of them, but Jesus he doesn’t half meander. He could be way more efficient with his delivery.
“And it’s a line ball. A line ball to Wexford”.
Just say “It’s a fucking line ball to Wexford”. Simples.

That’d be short by Carthy’s standard, there’d usually be at least another “A line ball to Wexford out near the 65 yard line” thrun in for good measure. More of an expander than a summariser.

Surprised nobody has mentioned Scottish football expert Roddy Forsyth.
