    I've only noticed the strange way they pronounce "says" (rhymes with "bays") instead of the way most people pronounce it, "sez".

    It this a Montrose affectation?

    Do they still say "and there we take a break" before every commercial break?

    "...when we come back, all the day's sport."

    So they say it properly? Fair play to them.

    There is a definite 'RTE accent' but, seriously, this doesn't highlight it.
