Irish commentator

He's no more on something than Dessie is.

More upper though?

drives me insane at the end of races..choking all the way up the run in..gerry will be tubed soon enough...many years of this to come...he even sounds like dessie...scary stuff.....

He sounds like he's got a mouth full of gravel.

Its the same person has been since 1979 he gets a tin of pek threw in every sunday and refuses to let anyone else commentate on the races, dessie or seamus or paddy call him what you like the bloke is older than the skeleton they found in the peat bogs.

he's very good but he cant ride a finish

to be fair though - no matter how huge the fields his accuracy is 1st class

Jesus surely you know these races are sorted weeks before , his had the script since monday at least for today.

'...had the script since Monday..'

to be fair though - no matter how huge the fields his accuracy is 1st class

didnt he miss the faller at the first hurdle yesterday or was that dessie..horse skidded 200 meters...water everywhere...

shame about yesterdays  call offs but cant wait till saturday if its on because he has a mental block about pronouncing quantativeasing, it,s the highlight of the meeting listening ti him try,has more problems with it than george osbourne and mervyn king put together,

Rubys double and joes watersplash what chance has this pssed up 500year old got give him an inch.

he sounds more tired now than my horse is running in the 7 25.

lots of banks there

This is not the guy who always talks about the horses passing the club house at Down Royal is it?

14 form the finish ffs i might die before the cesrawatiich

this is upsetting he sounds like his fukked.

great commentator in a tight finish he is reving up

Lakaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa pant

the blood is pumping

im gettin more shagged listened to it thebve hjumped rubys double 45 times

get in there here we go

Jasas

this is cruelty

Great call. Superb stuff.

That took the buscuit :)

id say he will be dead after that

Ugh

Did remarkably well to just about hold it together on the run in

sounds like he finished with a orgasm there ....

A stroke, more like.

i thought that was a great commentary .
i like the way he runs out of breath but keeps trying to commentate .

top man

4 miles 1 on the wide open plains of punchestown and he didnt spot the winner till inbetween the last 2, , dont fancy him for the epsom dash,

the irish comm miles better than any we have here  imo.

Just googled his name http://www.irishexaminer.com/sport/snide-broadside-at-scahill-completely-unw...

good post spinmaster..but the commentator here is gerry hannon not des schaill.....that piece was badly written by a misinformed RP reporter....

really like him

seems to have a lot of passion for the sport (or at least it comes that way to me) and also is pretty accurate in the run

ykickamoocow  yes I know its Gerry Hannon but that RP article refers to him too.  I must say Lees Motorshead did seem to have a point ....

Are you Alain's son ?

me?

Sirdogleash.

No thats beyond me. No agenda here though.  I like Gerry's passion too but even his admirers must get a little embarrassed in those close finishes. :)

Alain doesnt have sons he only services men .

This tone is good if he could just maintain that level of breathing in the finishes.....

Lee M..HEAD may of had a point but as an apparent professional UK based journalist he could of worded that piece a lot better and got his facts right before publishing it.....Des Scahill i always thought over the years was a great race-caller..only o'sullevan was above him..age catches up with everyone..it doesnt mean we lose respect for the person..Lee M.head showed no respect in that piece...

I get out of breath just listening its as if i,m his long lost siamese twin.

Think he will have another orgasm here if Ruby wins in a tight finish :)

The extraordinary .... luv it....

no i am his dog

THE EXTRAORDINARY

great stuff that

Too much imo, ruins the race.

I actually like his style. You get the impression he is quite  disappointed if it isn't a close finish. Won't be surprised if the give him a few more of the bigger meetings after this.

Would love to meet him. Never seen a pic so I have this vision in my mind as to what he looks like. Bit of a hero in our house.

gerry wont be happy with that...Lucky Mountain,Irish Mountain i dont know what he said...

Lucky Mountain it was..jes barry looks diff gravy to ruby these days in a finish..

wind it up dessie get a bit of air in to the lungs for the finish
