I had a few drinks on me last night but I was watching RTE ring in the new year in the background. Now I could be wrong but it looked like there was some crappy competition going on and Marty Whelan announced that so and so had one. They went jumping up and down in the heat of everything clearly delighted with themselves.…

I had a few drinks on me last night but I was watching RTE ring in the new year in the background. Now I could be wrong but it looked like there was some crappy competition going on and Marty Whelan announced that so and so had one. They went jumping up and down in the heat of everything clearly delighted with themselves. Then about 30 seconds later he announced that someone else had one. It was the strangest thing I've seen on TV in a while and I thought it was going to be all they would be talking about on the news today but I haven't heard anything about it and can't find the clip on youtube to confirm wheter or not this was real TV.

Yep - it was Celebrity Jigs & Reels. Marty announced that Damien Farrelly (a DJ) had won the comp (which seemed to agreed with the judges scoring) but a few seconds later he announced that the Waterford Hurler had won. Very strange indeed - given the night in it nobody probably noticed - also the only charity to benefit irrespective of who won was VdeP so I guess it doesn't make much of a difference to anybody

You are correct. Marty made a complete hames of announcing the winners. I never saw anything like it on TV before. The real winners scored 2 tens and an eight total 28 but Marty announced the Wexford hurler and his partner who scores 2 9s and an 8 total 26 as winners. I know it was for charity, however, Marty is losing it. Its probably time for him to go! Now.
