    I was in Limerick listening to the match on RTE Radio and the commentator Pauric Lodge said that Marty would be getting a Garda escort out of Pearse Stadium in Galway and another Garda escort into Limerick so he could present The Marty Squad.

    Now I have given up listening to the bloody Marty Squad as it is ****e but, I gotta ask

    Is this an appropriate use of limited Garda resources?

    Coming out of estadio Frank Murphy after another Clare defeat today, my heart and spirits were raised as a diminutive faux tanned, sweaty, heaving marty came dashing down temple hill towards the park in a bid to ensure the nation of his enduring marty squad.

    Upon return to the car and there it was. Radio dial hit and the bould Marty, his would be muse Anna Geary, Tomas Mulcahy and Tony Considine with added Cork through Seanie and Tomas O'Leary for his 'squad'.

    Gerry Ryan's one time lick spittle Brenda Donohue proceeded to interview the great cork unwashed with a host of nothings adding precisely nothing to the production.

    Tony Considine left little to the imagination with his attempt at ripping Clare apart which left marty squirming and left both the Mul and the noisy Anna incredulous. Tomas O'Leary then echoed the criticism of Clare and suggested Clare should be worried. Mul went quite. Anna made more noise. Marty added little.

    Then Damien Lawlor brought some reasoned journalistic gravitas alongside the dependable Tom Dempsey in their analysis but this show like Rte's Gaa coverage in general could probably benefit from a little less marty. So yeah it's a chronic and abject abdication of responsibility from authorities to escort that charlatan for his 'squad' from Limerick to Cork where his penchant for smarm and complete lack of gaa knowledge are all too exposed.

    I listened to The Marty Squad for the first time on Sunday and it would be so much better without Brenda O Donoghue. There she was talking to yer man from Crystal Swing who clearly hadn't a clue about hurling. It was awful stuff.

    Well you’ve gotten your wish, no Brenda O’Donohue on the show.

    I cannot stand Anna Geary's self serving interruptions designed to show off how much research she has done. She isn't the presenter (yet) so she should only contribute not interrupt. She comes across as having a chip on her shoulder. I have heard Cora Staunton do analysis on football, including Mayo's defeat to Galway , and she was excellent. She was considered and spoke with authority. Two qualities Geary lacks. Get rid of her and Brenda please.

    She's an overextended flavour of the month. Has an agent no less and a equal dollop of delusion about her so called knowledge and/or ability. Just like marty she's an incorrigible kiss arse. Her whining nasally knackery north cork accent is abhorrent. She's utterly bereft of even a pinch of humility or self-awareness. An absolute narcissist.

    At 6:57 Marty cuts to a break with “there’s a lot more to hear from the Marty squad”. Break returns at 7:00 for a minute of a programme!

    That’s par for the course on a lot of RTE radio show. Joe Duffy will frequently take 2 breaks in the last 5 minutes of the show, then come back for the last one to say “Aonghus McInally produced, Ray D’Arcy is next”, and go.
