    Just find out where he drinks and smash his face in with a brick.

    I wonder if he talks to himself every day in that stupid voice
    While he's going for a shower "Ger Canning going for the soap
    once again. Beautifully applied to the underarm, high and on target. Ger Canning is pleased. His wife is less than pleased on the sidelines, she is itching to get in on the action. Ger's genitals are not too clean. Once again the shower gel has to intervene. The soap has slipped.. WHAT A CATCH"

    Plus if you see him in the flesh, he wears fake tan or something he is brown out!

    he just pronounced John Mullane's surname the same way yanks pronounce 'Milan' - John Mil-aawn!! What a tool!

    As a person he annoys the **** out of me, but whats a false RTE accent?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,669 ✭✭✭Colonel Sanders


    look at talk shows etc on RTE television and radio and everyone presenting has a really fake, put on, over exaggerated accent. That's what I call an RTE accent!

    Nope it doesnt annoy me in the slightest. Anthony Daly on the other hand annoys me immensely. Just the get up of him and how smug he seems in his cushy RTE job. Probably from years of abusing him and Davy Fitz from the town end terrace.

    Marty Morrissey annoys me more...."Day-boo".

    If there's anything about Marty Morrissey more annoying than his accent then it would have to be his rugged good looks.

    I know, he's dreamy. Not at all alien like in any manner.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,442 ✭✭✭Firetrap


    Yep, Ger Canning's very annoying. Having said that, Marty Morrissey and Brian Carthy are even worse (and that's bad!)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 873 ✭✭✭neon_glows


    i dunno he has this wierd effect on me, makes me want to vomit!!! Anyone else get that? No seriously he doesnt bug me at all.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,139 ✭✭✭Orange69


    Marty Morrisey is one ****ed up individual...


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 658 ✭✭✭Crazy Christ


    Sweet Jesus Marty Morrissey! He looks like a walnut


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 10,921 ✭✭✭✭Pigman II


    A ruggedly good looking walnut.

    Also, I hear he's hung like a horse.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 658 ✭✭✭Crazy Christ


    And his favourite artist is Phil Collins. That's no lie, I saw him on TTV talking about Phil Collins. Poor old Humpty Dumpty.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 14,575 ✭✭✭✭FlutterinBantam


    What size cap does Marty wear??? 8 and1/2 ?

    Is that the guy who finishes every sentence with a whine? Makes me want to kick my radio. Not a good idea when you're driving.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,845 ✭✭✭2Scoops


    Yes, Ger Canning has an exceptionally annoying voice. I have yet to find anyone who likes the job he does. Coupled with his complete lack of understanding of the games he commentates on seriously makes me wonder why he is employed by RTE to begin with.

    Solution: press mute and put on the radio commentary.

    Yeah, big disappointment when I put on the radio, doesn't really matter though who it would have been, if it's not Michael O'Muirchuertagh (spl?) well it's a let down.

    Marty Morrissey and Daragh Moloney are worse!
