No Offence taken, It was a big game in Wexford Park. However, I would note the way Tyrell and Cusack brushed over Antrim and Carlow's performances last Sunday. They were light years apart, Carlow had Galway down to 4 points with less than 20 minutes to go, fair enough Galway pulled away at the end but it was a very strong showing by Carlow who were also missing some key players. Antrim lost by over 30 points! Carlow ended up losing by 11 while hitting to post and crossbar in the second half. Jacqui Hurley also said on the RTE Pod that it wasn't Carlow and Antrim's finest day, what did she expect, did she expect Carlow to beat Galway in Salthill?? Cusack is always pontificating about hurling needing oxygen yet when there is an opportunity to credit Carlow given their tiny resources, it doesn't happen!!

With that tone of voice I'd say the players had to be woken up to go out on the pitch…!

You are neglecting his other managerial successes, not least of all with Pobalscoil Chorca Dhuibne which has punched way above its weight in winning two All Ireland secondary schools titles (Hogan Cup) and continues to produce Gaeltacht, Daingean and Kerry players at all levels.

Fitzmaurice was in charge of Kerry for 6 years not 7 and he did manage an All Ireland when least expected.Kerry only lost 5 championship matches i/c of Kerry and 3 of those were tight games against Dublin .As Barney posted he also did great work with his school winning All Irelands no one expected.He was nt a bad manager and he is very knowledgeable.

Knowkedgeable alright. He gives analysis on the game he's watching rather than tell you what you've already seen on camera with a few clichés thrown in. Seanfanbocht (Roscommon) - Posts: 1427 - 26/04/2024 09:00:29 2540704 Link 2 |

Thanks for the correction, yes 6yrs, but he did only win 9 from 17 championship games outside Munster. Also a 64% win rate in all competitions with Kerry. Would many/any Kerry managers have a lower win percentage?

What has happened the Saturday game programme that was advertised last year.I've mentioned before that RTÉ news channel is used for sport when it suits..next Saturday full day of Leinster rugby free to air but all hurling behind the Gaa go paywall..it really is great promotion of our game..match in cork on paywall and cork/limerick is behind paywall to..I'm really surprised more isn't being made of this..don't someone mention getting Gaa go,the internet in our area is dire..I understand prov finals have to be shown but my problem with football is there are group games coming up so it'll be saturating our tvs..why havnt RTÉ explained how much they are involved in Gaa go and also croke park do the same..that's my rant over for Monday.

You're asking the wrong questions that you can easily find the answers to. He won All Irelands as a player and a manager. He managed a schools team to All Ireland glory. His voice, a bit like Cora's, rarely gets animated and many wrongly judge his punditry skills based on him sounding a bit boring. He's much better craic than he seems, heard him on some podcasts. My question for you is who are the better qualified as a Sunday Game football pundit than Eamonn Fitzmaurice? GreenandRed (Mayo) - Posts: 7351 - 29/04/2024 18:50:46 2541606 Link 1 |

Ogie Moran, Mickey Ned, even Paidi O'Se are all below the 64% I'd say (In championship, Fitz's stat goes up to 71%). Under the former two, did Kerry even come out of Munster? AI medals are how Kerry ppl rate success, not stats. Paidi was there for 9 years. He scrope two. Fitz was only there for 7 years. He won one in a wonder!

Is there anyway of finding out actually how many are paying to watch these games on Gaa go.I havnt seen them anyway.we were giving out about sky coverage but didn't have to worry about internet connection..I also know it's available on dodgy box but I'm waiting for the bloody crackdown on this aswell..do any of the counties get a chance to ask how croke park make decisions on tv rights or is it just a case of ah sure it'll be grand..

If the app isn't on your TV's app store try logging in to GAAGO site on the TV browser. Not ideal but could be better than casting.
