    What you would rather? A D4 accent?

    It's good to hear a genuine accent. We have enough godawful American twangs on tv and radio.

    Are you saying the D4 accent is not genuine? That they're putting it on?

    O'Gara seems sincere to me compared to, say, Williams who just shoehorns old anecdotes in at any given opportunity, whether relevant or not.

    I'm saying it makes people sound like w*nkers and I'd take O'Gara's accent all day over it.

    Of all the South Dublin accents to pick out, this is about as innocuous as they come.

    If you mentioned the greatest horseplay of all time, you might have had a point.
