RTÉ BROADCASTER MARTY MORRISSEY finally got around to doing the ice bucket challenge today though it looks like he got more than he bargained for.

Helped by Ciaran Whelan and Mark McHugh and dressed in a Clare jersey, Morrissey had a bin full of ice dumped over him, much to the delight of the Croke Park crowd.

The ice bucket challenge has so far raised more than €1million for the Irish Motor Neurone Disease Association.

He wasn’t the only RTÉ star to get soaked today though as The Sunday Game panel of Colm O’Rourke, Joe Brolly and Pat Spillane also followed through on their promise to take part, Kieran McGeeney doing the honours.

    Hopefully Bruno will be fit, his work rate, ability to track runners and his ability to whine moan and fall over will be good news for Liverpool though that said his creativity could be a problem for Liverpools high line if Utd had willing runners

    @O’Brien Michael: pool be raging hot favourites anyway. Cant remember one of these sides being such hot favourites going into this fixture. But ue know what, even if utd lose 6 0 the world will keep spinning and we’ll get back on the horse. And who knows, maybe they’ll pull a huge performance out. Unlikely but that’s the beauty of football.

    @Brian Dunne: They have nothing to lose tomorrow as Liverpool are raging hot favourites and that’s what makes United so dangerous Brian.

    @O’Brien Michael: Top 4 to loose, surely they can’t expect too many more pardons from Arsenal and Spurs.
