Title: Frustrating Day
Post by: Rat Catcher on January 23, 2023, 12:12:44 pm
Watching rain fall in Zimbabwe on me 42" for the last c.3 hours.... with the (3 game) series tied 1-1 and (afaik) no spare day provision.

False dawn. Match abandoned, another day wasted horizontal on the couch... and no reserve day. We was robbed.

Would you not watch porn like a normal person?  I'm sure there's porn videos where the women dress up in cricket gear and give the balls a good smacking!

Just a thought, but if I was going on a 1 day ciggie holiday (which I don't do) then I would take in some big sporting event that was on in that city on the day.

I have been to the Nou camp in Barcelona and it is pretty spectacular, the most boring part of the day fer me was watching the footie !

Any sign of John Creedon in them there parts, Ken? Feekna O'Braynawn is a piss poor substitute... even within the sea of mediocrity that constitutes Radio Eireann he shouldn't see the civilised side of midnight.

"yerra, musha, anyway, so" Creedo, Cork man of the year.. Fiachna is one of my favourites DJs, and a very nice man to boot, knows his music well. His playlist suits me very well, unlike Creedo who tried to tell us that a six year old Tinariwen album was a new release. Not fond of The Flowers music, but they all lived around Sandymount at one time, and all gents.

I'm not saying there's no place for him on the airwaves just not on the national airwaves. Maybe a specialist Sunday hour on The Noggin FM or some such might be more appropriate?

Incidentally, I don't dislike the Hothouse Flowers and would have absolutely no objection to John Creedon spinning their discs...

I dropped Fiachna to Seapoint/Monkstown a few years ago. As you say, down to earth.
Can't remember where I dropped O'Maonlaí.
I was saying I'd seen him jamming on Youtube with local musicians in Mali, he said "That programme hasn't aired yet"...take it up with Youtube then! 8)

Sorry, I don't listen to DJ's at all anymore, I was never a RTE fan but I did try Prenderville on Red FM and Boylan on Classic hits fer a bit, soon got pissed off of both due to their understandable PC approach to most topics. These nights I just listen to Red FM but usually switch when they go to the stoopid 'Mudderfooker' rap songs over to classic hits 4FM where they play all the Eighties tunes all night long, no DJ's and very few ad's.

Donal Dineen on Today FM was my go-to DJ on Here comes the night.

Now its Spotify and Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers, or anything from Blue Note Records.

Next time you see him tell him I said he shouldn't give up the night job. I don't dispute that he's a competent musician and a decent ol' skin anall, he's just way out of his depth presenting a daily light entertainment show. The anorak format necessarily narrated with name-dropping anecdotes gets tedious evening after evening, 5 days a week. In fact I left it on on Monday or Thursday (can't remember which) this week and it was the good old "... so I rang Van Morrisson" that prompted me to twist the dial...

Not sure. Google suggests "Grandad Radio" is a spothefly playlist or some such. Maybe that's what you're thinking of?

I remember a Maitre'D asking Paulo Tullio did he want to take his complaint "Outside" when he complained about something:

I recall the largest hamper I’d ever seen arrive at the back door of the Indo, late 90s I’m guessing, addressed to  Paulo, from the management of Picasso’s in Clontarf, to try snd make amends for asking if he wanted to take his complaints ‘outside’, during a disastrous meal. rofl

To be fair, I can't see them running out of time, erm. Do you get a refund if you bought tickets for day 4 or day 5... Given that "we" are 3 down in the second innings trailling by 289 with c.14 overs left right now (day 2) I can't see much value in day 3 either... mightn't even get as far as my cucumber sandwiches never mind the fresh strawberries and cream!

Great call by THE ICC making it a one test "series", saves "us" embarrassing ourselves any further.

What did you make of Cricket Ireland opting to play the "Home" one day series against Bangledesh in Essex... was it just to save forking out for a temporary Grandstand in Malahide or Stormont or did they just conclude there's more Bangledeshi fans to fleece on the mainland?

A very embarrassing no show …from Ireland…It looked like the standard had improved but some of our imports would nor get a game in the Phoenix Park. Think it will be a longtime before Irish Cricket team get another series fixture with the big lads? >:(

I think we have Pak or India in Clontarf this year .Some very good young players properly coached by their Fathers .We will win a Cricket world cup long before we win a Rugby or Soccer one .Under Age I recon we would hold our own with the rest of the World except England we would beat them .

Day 3 was a bit better but a long way to go before "we" can compete with other Test nations. Maybe they should consider a second division Test table and bring in a few more minnows for us to play. In any event, not being a traditionalist, I much prefer the shorter formats.

India in Malahide was confirmed for August, erm. ( https://www.cricketireland.ie/news/article/ireland-men-a-big-2023 (https://www.cricketireland.ie/news/article/ireland-men-a-big-2023) )
