Grainne looks improbably young for a woman in her mid forties. I reckon she has had "help" along the way.

Mike Tyson '85 wouldn't bate me out of her. A fine cut of a woman.

Don't get me wrong, she looks fantastic. Not sure how 'natural' it is though.

Wonder do they give the audience a few scoopeens before hand to oil them up for the night?

I see they are repeating this directly before the match tomorrow, the mind boggles.

Be easier to beat the poker our of yer man from Limericks hole.

Modern players having milkshakes the night before a match these days according to Des?????

Surely they wouldn't be that healthy for serious athletes like these fella's are now.

Atlantic Dawn

Ha ha mad men celebrating, the Gardaí could have done with tazers that evening.

Icsics

What's the story with that set? Seems very mean, can't work out if it's the awful seats or background?

Say Your Number

Feels completely surreal having the final on this week, it's like moving Christmas to January, it's totally out of kilter.

Atlantic Dawn

Supermacs head honcho in the audience.

statesaver

Ah that’s not fair, Limerick got 3 tickets and Galway only got 1.

Who did I complain to ?

Shocking stuff altogether

OldMrBrennan83

Someone needs to tell Grainne that Tyrone beat Monaghan.

4Ad

Just clicked over awful olde ****e..

richiepurgas

Fleadh ceol is on TG4.

Say Your Number

This show is fine when they're talking to old players and that, the fan stuff really makes me wince though.

This choir ain't bad from primary school. The soloist on the right is very good.

Atlantic Dawn

Were The Rubberbandits not invited on?

alan partridge aha

WTF is that Mccoy one doing on it.

Promoting her family's business by the sounds of it.

Never mind McCoy, is your man on the left drunk. His eyes are totally glazed over. Must still be partying from the wedding!!!

Fu5king bullsh1t.

yer man seems hammered.

OldMrBrennan83

Hayes always talks like that, he's a regular on the GAA Hour podcast.

Atlantic Dawn

Odds on Galway Girl being played tonight?

BoroMan32

Spending far too much time talking to these three.

Atlantic Dawn

An ad for the match tomorrow, you really couldn't make it up.

Like putting the World Cup in Winter, which of course is highly improbable.

Atlantic Dawn

I'd say the traditionalists would break that hurl over their knee in disgust.

Atlantic Dawn

The winning team should each get a voucher for a €40k car.

People talking about Darragh Maloney being robotic on the Soccer panel have obviously never heard his Hurling commentary.

By far the best GAA commentator RTÉ have. Pity he doesn't get to do more.

OldMrBrennan83

Joe told that one in the Sugar Club last night too. He's a very funny man actually.

Water John

Hearing good things about the Mycro hurley. Years of development to get it right.

He was grand until he bought into his own hype.

Micheal M is sorely missed on radio

Say Your Number

Anytime I hear Pauric Lodge on Radio 1, he's always excellent, I think he mainly concentrates on Football though.

Needs to drop the folksy intro to his commentaries.

Pauric is one of the leading RTE GAA commentators imo. He is often paired with John Mullane and appears to totally get his enthusiasm-Mullane can be completely OTT and to be fair to Pauric he goes with the flow with Mullane. I heard him commentating on camogie semi final this evening-you get the impression that he does his homework. Not a Marty fan

YES! YES! YES! Marty is usually paired with Tomas M and his LONG introduction is often greeted by a chuckle from Tomas

He's a donkey of a commentator. Agree about belonging on the radio though,after all he has a face for it.

Cant understand how it pays Grainne to fly over from South Africa for the last and only gig she has with RTE up for the Match?
