Well there was always bound to be one mistake, wasn’t there?
As we’ve already remarked upon here, Sky’s GAA coverage got off to a pretty decent start this evening, with viewers generally reacting favourably to the pre-match exchanges between presenters Rachel Wyse and Brian Carney and analysts Ollie Canning and Jamesie O’Connor.
Commentator Mike Finnerty did fluff his lines slightly when making a reference to ‘championship football’ as opposed to hurling when the game got underway and although it was a minor mistake and would barely have been noticed in any other game on any other channel at any other time, every mistake was always going to be magnified tonight.
Just a little blip in an otherwise excellent start for Sky then; it’s just a pity about the game itself which, at the time of writing at least, looks as if it’s turning into a rout for the men in black and amber.
Hat-tip to Alan McCarthy for sending this one into us
