Leinster Rugby's famous "Duffman" RDS stadium announcer

I think he sounds like a bit like a D4 "Duffman" but kind of a crap version. He really annoys the hell out of me. He's too loud too. Quiet down and let us pretend we can wisely analyse the play over a few nice beers!

Anyone in the terrace, beside the changing rooms, think that long blonde haired skinny ass Heineken cup camera man looks like a bird in those clothes? CameraBird we call him. I'm sure there's a chant in that somewhere. Not sure I should even mention that for fear of abuse...!!

Is he the announcer for Irish internationals too?

Mr.Applepie

yeah he was, I always get the impression that he really just wants to be a dj in some fancy club.

I thought the music in Croker was very loud actually. I couldn't talk to the person beside me let alone hear the crowd noises that let you know a game is about to begin

Yes, here's the man himself: http://declanking.com/

I'm not sure but I think there was a thread on him here already that fell foul of the axe of mod.

Not a fan of his work at all at all.

Yep, that's the same guy. :mad:

Most of the problem lies in the actual volume of the announcements.

He wouldn't be half as annoying if you weren't able to hear him on the tv too.

Turn the Tannoy down at the games please!
