Fred Cogley

Should be in a nursing home .....only there because his young lads the boss.

"GER EARLS"

Ha ha... had no idea he was still alive! Senile about 20 years ago. What channel can i catch him on??

Setanta

"Trevor McRingland... try for Ireland..."

its cruel listening to him and presuming his young fellow is listening to it, he is doing his old man no favours by leaving him in charge of a mic. His handling of the sin-binning of Healy and the forced substitution of Court in for Ferris was awful. Fred ...."and sad to see Ferris leaving the pitch having put so much into getting fit for this match - and O'Brien comes into the action" - wrong on all counts. When Ferris rejoined the action at the end of the sin-binning, Fred was a bit unsure what was going on, and when Court was back in later, he seemed totally confused. He had no handle on Paddy Wallace's multiple introductions into the game and totally missed Kearney leaving the pitch.

I have to agree with all of the above.

was watching rock v gereards the other night, a rock player kicked it straight into touch from the half way and fred said " great touch find there but foor some reason the referee is bringing it back"

Am I the only person that likes his commentary/voice?

Im sure the guy is alright but hes well over seventy, couldnt he just go off and play scrabble or golf and let some young fella have a shot at making a balls of it!

poor old fred........ not a good thread
lots of **in mofos.. you be sorry when hes dead

twas b itchin....sorry for the vulgarity

His voice is not the problem, he is just so inaccurate and at times doesn't seem to have an understanding of the laws of rugby. IMO his voice is quite good , diction and delivery are most professional.

i've no problem with him personally, but seems a bit silly to have a guy commentating on a game when he doesn;t know the players names or the rules

TV3 could hire him for the champions league commentary. Pair of morans doing it last night.

"Bradley waits" .....

Dean......

Mullen.....

Irwin.....

RIngland ........

Crossan......

Tryyyyyyyy

was a legend in his day

Great in his day but simply too old now.

Too old for what....Leinster Senior Cup.

Watched a bit of Michaels vs Belvedere??? on Setanta.

Sounded fine.

Plus if I was a player in one of those games I would prefer to have Cogley commentating.

why the hell would a player care who commentates?

Do you not think they keep the videos of the matches?

Good reason for him to keep his job so wtf.

I was answering your particular question.

I still think he is a very good commentator and has a good voice for it. But that is just my personal preference.

Much prefer his voice compared to Jim Sherwin or that "tool" :) Ryan Nugent.

or Ryle is it?

In Cork he's be known as a Langer.

I see Ger Earls got another cap......making up for lost time

and Ireland have possession......... of the English player in possession??????????? I think that means one of the Irish tackled one of the English

When tommy bowe wen in for the third try he called it as o'gara

Then o'gara stepped up to take the easy conversion he said o'gara knocks over the conversion MAKE NO MISTAKE ABOUT IT, IT'S 20-13 TO THE IRISH lol was 20-16 :-P awful imo

Fred Cogley is right though ....Ger Earls should have played for Ireland.
