In an effort to hang on to their last few remaining viewers, RTE have announced that they are bringing back the classic Sunday Game theme tune for this year’s Turf Eating Championship coverage.
Flags were flying at half mast in cowsheds and Garda stations accross the country a few years ago when the national broadcaster decided to do away with the tune - believed by many to be the only thing ever worth listening to on RTE - and replace it with some instantly forgettable modern shite, probably written by Phil Coulter.
Hopefully they’ll also take Pat Spillane - the man who once said that “Kerry are playing pure orgasmic football out dere t’daaay” and who also coined the phrase “puke football” - out from behind his desk as presenter and stick him back on the panel where he can do his best impression of a stereotypical hang sangidge and milky tay swilling culchie in order to make the programme watchable again.
The coverage of the ‘Hitting Balls With Sticks and Battering Farmers’ Championships are split between RTE and TV3 for the first time ever this year, meaning that RTE have to actually up their game.
Which, in true Irish fashion, means using Michael Lyster - the man with the deadest eyes in Television - and Marty Morrissey, the worlds most retarded looking squirell, in an ad campaign, and resurrecting the silage guzzlers anthem from a few years ago.
Good luck to them I say. I fucking hate TV3.
It all kicks off today with the very definition midlands pointlessness - Longford v Westmeath. Hopefully Longford will batter them. Westmeath. What a load of shite - they can’t even think up a proper name for their county.

Westmeath will probably beat them seeing as most of longford lives in either sydney, new york or london these days…

If the GAA know one thing its how to get that X-factor that bit of showbiz pizzaz by opening up the championship with a ‘glamour fixture’ like two teams from the midlands with nothing to play for

I once saw Marty Morrissey in Power City. He was buying a blender. It was Christmas. True story.
