Is Jimmy Magee full of himself ?

Jesus H Christ. Watching him on the 7 O'Clock show on TV3. He is doing an unscripted show in Virginia soon. He gave Pele his name ! Did he help Noah load the ark as well ?

Not according to Wikipedia so it can't be true:D

Yes!
He will give you the answer to the question(eventually),but not before naming everything else to do with it first!

They don't call him the mammary man for nothing.

"I remember it well - back in 1962, Tim Pat Hoorcaulk was the center forward...Micky McShytetalk was corner back, it was sunny, and the Beatles were playing..."

Feck off.

Don't slag off Jimmy,he knows your cousin's.

He deserves to be a bit full of himself at this stage

He's one of the most quotable living Irish people

And there it is, the international symbol of peace – the pigeon

Torricelli · 15-01-2016 08:34PM

Sure isn't he a "national treasure"?

I jest. Magee and Gay Byrne are two of the most self absorbed broadcasters to come out of RTÉ.

Always thought his boxing and soccer commentary was dreadful. He should be put in a retirement home to give some proper talent a chance.

Damien360 · 15-01-2016 08:36PM

I thought he was dead !

Worse is, admitting to watching the 7 O'Clock Show.

Ah here don't even try that sh1t!

He was ok in his earlier career, but things have moved on since that first Olympics in 776 BC and he should have been put out to pasture in the early 1900's.

No, He just looks dead!

At least Mike Murphy had the decency to fcuk off into the sunset unlike Uncle Gaybo, Marian Finucane, Jimmy Magee, George Hook, Johnny Giles, Eamonn Dunphy, Pat Kenny and all the other media dinosaurs.

They all belong in St. Clabberts

I suppose he said it was originally Peile, did he?

The Backwards Man · 15-01-2016 09:07PM

Anybody can have a good memory if there's no one about to contradict them.

mansize · 15-01-2016 09:10PM

Bit of an unfair dig, most people take those stories with a large grain of salt. It's 7 O'Clock show on TV3, not news night

Fleawuss · 15-01-2016 09:13PM

An egotistical pompous self absorbed bombastic spectator. Who thinks he's the story. I don't care you saw Shergar kick the winning drop goal in the All Irekand hurling final of 1932. FCUK off.

UrbanFret · 15-01-2016 09:13PM

He never claimed to have given pele his name, he tells the story of a missionary priest who explained to kids that football was peile in Irish and it started from there.

blade1 · 15-01-2016 09:17PM

Anyone else remember the night he was commentator for a boxing match where one of the boxers was black and he said if there is a blackout we might see his boots but maybe not the rest of him. :pac:

ArnoldJRimmer · 15-01-2016 09:22PM

A lot of hate for poor Jimmy here, he should have retired years ago, but the man is still a legend in Irish broadcasting. And he's nowhere near the sanctimonious gobsh!te levels of Gaybo.

He admitted he lost his shirt in the recession and and had to reluctantly come back for the shekels.

I'd sooner listen to him than you

No offence of course :pac:

liam7831 · 15-01-2016 09:29PM

He keeps coming on the radio cribbing about that they didn't use him in the last world cup. He was touting himself for work for the next Olympics last week.

He seems to think he has an entitlement to go to all the Major sporting events if he fancies going

Is Jimmy Magee full of himself ?
