Marty hasn't been the same since, in his interview after the 2009 final, he more or less suggested to Brian Cody that the ref had just robbed Tipp of an allIreland. Cody's outburst frightened the sh1te out of Marty(even his teeth went whiter!)

Marty showed himself to be true coward that day , it is understandably that Cody did not want to answer questions like that straight after an AI win, but it was a huge turning point in the match and Marty was right to ask the question, and as a professional sports broadcaster he should have stuck on that line of questioning until he got some answer out of Cody , but he meekly coward-ed away when Cody barked at him.

Cody let the mask slip that day alright.Hard to blame him I suppose as they had just been gifted the 4 in a row by the ref.

Marty is a horrific leech on RTE's GAA coverage. The cringiness and chessiness of his work is so off putting its not funny. I refuse to watch any production he's involved in, and if he's commentating i press the mute button.I see Colm Parkinson is now deemed a top GAA pundit. Can anyone explain to me how to hell this talentless hobo is bluffing his making fees from the state broadcaster, among others, for his opinions on anything?RTE is currently flogging GAA coverage to a slow death. The whole thing needs a colonic irrigation.

I think SLR means because it's not up on RTE Player yet, an awful hassle if you want to watch it straight away!

There was an interesting article in the Sunday Times Sports Section a few years ago which discussed the poor quality of GAA Magazine/Review shows. Apparently the GAA have a strong influence on these shows and they prefer dull shows like Championship Matters. They basically told RTE to axe Park Life. With the opening up of TV rights they now have even more sway over RTE and it is no surprise that came up with Championship Matters or the Committee Room to satisfy the GAA.
