Author	Topic: Are you ready for love sky sports stlye??
liam mac Senior Member Posts: 94 From:Limerick Registered: May 2003	posted 08 August 2003 09:37 AM Lads have ye seen the new ad for sky sports with Elton John singing ‘are you ready for love’ and a bunch of women dancing around him. How is this supposed to make us want to watch soccer. Can you imagine if RTE got a gay guy singing are you ready for love and a bunch of women in Tip and Kilkenny jerseys throwing hurleys and sliotars around the place. Would that make us more interested in the match Sunday week. Give me Davy Fitz saying “I love this game to much to let anyone get to me” anyday of the week. Let’s hope sky never get their hands on the GAA. They’d probably get Graham Norton to present the Sunday game. “Oh Pat they’re a lovely pair of glasses you’ve on you tonight” IP: Logged

Perhaps Sky have finally lost their touch RE: marketing of the Premiership? Anyone see the McGeeney advert for The Championship. He looks like one of those statues from Easter Island. A legend.

The colour, the passion, the hits, the highs and the lows, the misses and the scores – great stuff altogether! IP: Logged

Have never met him but those who have have all remarked on his resolute single-mindedness and ambition to succeed. He appears a driven man and perhaps thats why he sometimes comes across as dour or over serious. His post-match speech last year was one of the worst I have ever heard which was surprising as I thought he'd show more emotion than he did. I have read interviews where he says his personal life has suffered because of his all-consuming interest in football. You can only hope he had a good time over the past 12 months and made a few bob to boot. quote: Originally posted by LimerickNomad: Anyone see the McGeeney advert for The Championship.

Fair play to him..he captained his county to all-ireland success and he isn't even a terrific player either and ya dat ad is dire 'Liam'! IP: Logged

South Limerick Referee Senior Member Posts: 127 From: Registered: Jul 2003	posted 08 August 2003 11:42 PM The Armagh system suits him, did you see them against Limerick, they spent most of the second half with 12 players camped behind the halfway line. McGeeney never has to mark anyone as there are so many back. He did the job for Armagh, but he will never be recognised in the same way even as a leader as say Glen Ryan. There were days when Glen Ryan almost singlehandedly carried Kildare on his back, McGeeney was never any more than one of a 15 man unit. He plays a deep wing forwards role wearing No 6 on his back. I couldnt imagine him filling the number 6 slot in a different county with a different system, say Galway, where the requirement is to hold the middle. quote: Originally posted by johnny giles: The man reads the game so well its unbelievable. one of the most inspirational captains ever aswell.

The man is class, but not a showboater . Godd footballers always appear to be loose , and tohave time , it's a mark of class in any sport. A legend . IP: Logged
Mike Piazza Senior Member Posts: 63 From:Queens, New York Registered: May 2003	posted 11 August 2003 01:14 PM McGeeney is probably the first professional footballer the GAA has had with his 'job' in the Irish Sports Council IP: Logged

And you can also look forward to the alco wife beater Bestie doing his ananlysis on Saturday afternoons with that utterly over rated kunt...Rodneee Marsh. What a parcel of prized kunts these fellas are. IP: Logged

GUNTHER Senior Member Posts: 1873 From: Registered: Jun 2001	posted 11 August 2003 03:47 PM Elton John is a prized tosser. I was on holiday in France a few years ago,and spotted him playing Tennis. "Yoo Hoo" I shouted at him,and the fat fcuker stormed off the court and refused to play any more. IP: Logged

Well the ad is to market Sky Sports and the demographic is primarily young males plus young women as well...Do u not think they could have picked anyone more suitable ureself??????? I think if they used Elton John 30 years then it might be relevant!! IP: Logged
