I never said he didn't know his stuff, just that I find him a bit odd and his accent annoying. It's not a middle class Dublin accent at all. It's "posh" Dublin.

i think thornley along with being an excellent journo he really tears apart the stuffy journalist image,what with the earring and student dress sense

It's a good job we aren't relying on TV3 for all the games. Why couldn't they show Wales v Aus for example? I thought that as they had the rights the would at least have filled in a few hours here and there with live games.

Not at all. I regularly post on threads without the slightest clue as to the content of them. :rolleyes:

I was just having a mini rant.

Point I was making is that why rant when you've obviously got your facts wrong.

i'll summise for you. They don't have the rights to show any other games. :rolleyes:

Anyone watched a game on the Eircom/Setanta site while listening to the newstalk commentary(online). Is there any lag between the two?

Attractive Nun · 21-09-2007 7:43pm

Good analysis on Setanta tonight.

Yeah, Particularly liked Andy Robinson and Matt Williams video analysis of Irelands faults before the game....actually just overall impressed with what Robinson had to say.

Trevor Brennan is out of his dept when it comes to the commentary.

He might be a bruiser but he's no intellect.

Maybe he should have spoken to Eddie!

He may have all the knowledge in the world but man he can't convey it! The question was posed to him 'what do we do now' or somwthing simular and he said the players need a pissup tonight! CMON, worked in Italia '90 but that was nearly 20 years ago!
