Presume it`s Ger doing the TV commentary?

My money is on using the word "latitude" 4 times and "reprise" twice with plenty of stats thrown in

As in...as we watch that score in reprise, Corbett, seeking his third All-Ireland medal today finds some latitude and puts it over the bar

My money is on him saying `a speculative effort`, `an enterprising ball` or `passion, guile and no little skill`.

If it was Marty it would go like this: "as we watch that score in reprise, Corbett, who, by the way, will celebrate his 31st birthday in 3 days time, seeking his third All-Ireland medal today finds some latitude and puts it over the bar"

A player will score a point from a narrow but far from miraculous angle and he`ll roar "he managed to put that over from an IMPOSSIBLE ANGLE!!"

And his favourite - "Michael Cahill/David Herity/AN OTHER moves forward to score his first ever point in championship hurling!!!"

Duignan seems a bit hoarse and under the weather today.

Canning - "if he was a player he`d have to change his jersey"

Duignan - "and leave the field of play"

Incisive analysis as ever.

What about Brian Hogan at least twice when he meant Brian Cody. And Tipp stopped the `drive for five` 12 years ago.

It`s the `huge one in there` for every longish strike that gets on my wick. Does he not know that the modern hurler can drive the ball 100+ yards at ease

Canning really is bloody disaster. Speaks complete tripe far too often.
Watching Sunday game...example after example....
Kilkenny goal no.1 in 35th minute by Michael fennelly.
In 54th minute   (all of 19minutes of play later  )  
he says " Michael fennellys goal still remembered fondly by Kilkenny fans".

All of 19minutes later and fair play on their memories.
Gob\\e and a disservice to national games to give him a mic.

Something along the lines of "up the cats".
Fair play to lester and co. Took it in their stride.
Guy could have said anything. For all the CP security, u`d think they`d have one on the door.
Unless it was induce job -
Maybe it was one of the tv3 boys next door.

I missed Mícheál Ó Sé from the minor match. Sorry Sean Og, you`re just not the same.

Close - "Colin Fennelly has pace, guile and subtlety"
