Jayop wrote: » I don't think that the possibility that some unionists would be put off attending or playing in GAA games in part because of the playing of the Irish Anthem in the north is that far fetched. The real topic should be can we not get Natalie Saywer to take over from Weise?

You were never any the wiser about the sport after reading it if I'm honest. But to be honest, as a presenter I don't see the problem, knowing the sport inside out isn't her job, it's JJ Delaney's or Jim McGuinness's or whoever. Her job is to draw them out through interviewing skills. I think she does OK at it. It's a difficult job, we've all seen how bad it can be when someone sub-par is doing it, like when Pat Spillane took over presenting the Sunday Game. His knowledge wasn't much use to him then, because presenting is an art that has nothing to do with the sport. Darragh Moloney showed us how it should be done while Michael Lyster (who is also fantastic) was out sick. Des Cahill is a constant reminder of what can go wrong but he has his moments and genuinely conveys a love of the game too. Same with Marty in the commentating: he's not perfect but he captures the spirit and the enthusiasm for the game, there's a kind of innocence about Marty's love of a good match. I always find Ger Canning quite insincere in comparison. That might be unfair but, combined with how much he gets wrong and his constant use of a vocabulary that's totally alien to the sport ("looking for latitute", "look at that in reprise" etc etC), I just can't warm to him.
