Brian Kerr is the greatest.

Edit: if anything is ruining anything, it's constant ads for those parasitic bookmaker dipsticks.

Normally that kind of thing fills me with rage, but I've had Bob Marley in my head for 4 days now, and, frankly, my life is better for it.

Come down to our stores if you want to get kitted out with an ill-fitting gray blazer over a zip neck black polo neck.

Especially Paddy Power hiding behind that "mad lad bants" image, shower of bastards.

That Zlatan ad is sh1te but weirdly amusing.

I like your man Michael O'Neill, the Northern Ireland manager.

So which commentators from rte are actually in Russia I wonder.
Seen earlier that people reckon ger canning is commentating from a studio in Dublin.
Surely George Hamilton is over there.
I have my doubts about John Kenny. Football was never really his main sport. Good on the motor sport though.

George and Ronnie are definitely in Volgograd. They did a report from there earlier.

George Hamilton and Ronnie Whelan did an Outside Broadcast from downtown Volgograd earlier, they are definitely over there.


Edit: Like what Ol' Donie said

Ger's definitely commentating from Dublin. He surely wouldn't be able to commentate on Gaelic and hurling if he was in Russia.

There's so many commentators you'd think with how competitive it is there'd be less ****e ones.

Richard Dunne must be doing it for free. The most boring man ever to do punditry.

Kerr is great on commentary and is literally the best co-commentator from all the channels, as he seems to have done research. Great knowledge on the costa rican centre back the other day.

I like Keith Andrews. I think he's top 3 pundits for RTE, alongside Didi.

Duff is a knob. Why is he sitting in his chair and acting like a hard man?

Sadlier too slow and ponderous...always looking up at the ceiling while he's talking as if he is making sure not to forget anything.

Ol' Donie

Nice to hear Ray Houghton defending the slow start of many, many teams and players, citing his first hand experience.

11 minutes, Ray.

It took you 11 minutes to put Italy to the sword.

Spot on i really like Brian Kerr, tells it how it is, I thought he didnt get a fair crack at the Ireland job tbh.
Keith Andrews excellent as well, Richard Dunne would put you to sleep.

Only lad not mangling the English language apart from Darragh and Brady is Didi, and it’s not his first language!

Lots of countries don't chastise their own because they have a strong native accent. Instead they're bloody proud of it.
You go Brian!!! Feck the begrudgers

Brian Kerr is an absolute gem at commentating. And I can find the Dublin accent fairly irritating much of the time, especially the D4, but also the scummy one.

Kerr does his research, and brings personality to the role. I'd put him in with Hamilton as the best commentator's.

Sorry mate, I don’t like it.

If it’s your preference, fair enough.

I tend to just switch off.

Duff, too narky and moaning
Hamann,honest and sincere
Ladies, have nothing inciteful to say
Andrews,too mouthy
Dunne,looks too worried looking
Dunphy, legend

Are Kenny Cunningham's eyebrows going to make an appearance?

It's not looking good at this particular moment in time.

Have they done away with any sort of discussion on the highlights show? That's where Kenny did his best work.
