Joanne Cantwell presenting the game on RTE2. Nnoooo……. My poor ears
Can admins not get rid of that gob advertising streams…F off sunny
Watching Joanne Cantwell and the old boys reminds me of Anchor Man. They look like they are going to ask her about the offside rule any minute now.
If it doesn’t get any better by 9 I’m putting on the news
What a goal!
Another clean sheet for Diego class manager
It’s like rope-a-dope here…..Atletico hoping Bayern will punch themselves out.
Dunphy with the obligatory reference to Alaba’s goal against us.
Hoping Peps lads do a job on Atletico, Just from the point of view I want to see a decent final with no antics and limited cynical play acting from Atletico.
Up the Dubs !
Up the farney army
Joanne cantwell must be related to somebody in RTE cause lets face it she has no charisma, and looks like a man. NEPOTISM. Joke
