Can’t get a visual but listening to Olympic Pommel Horse Final on the wireless in France. Rhys has just nailed it. American hasn’t done enough. Sweet Baby Jesus. Anyone else in purgatory…?
So sad to hear this today. No one could paint a picture like this man. Wherever you were in the world, he brought you to the edge of the pitch and the edge of your seat. A giant and a gent. Rest in peace.
Mícheál Ó Muircheartaigh, a giant of sports broadcasting. RIP
He took over as RTÉ Radio 1's premier radio commentator when Míchael O'Hehir retired from broadcasting in 1985.
His last All-Ireland final came in 2010, when he commentated on Cork's win over Down in the football decider, and he retired from broadcasting in October of that year.
He died in hospital this morning, aged 93.
And just like that @BallywalterFilm is now on demand. To everyone who came to see us on the big screen last year - THANK YOU. And to everyone waiting for the small screen, we’re on ALL the platforms below from today. 22nd Jan. Hope you enjoy…
