Tim CaHILL pronounces it like that. The Darren O'Dea(day) pronouncing is actually pretty widespread. They pronounce it O'Day in the States as well as in Oz.
Another one is Fahey, or Farhey as they say over there.

On the Tipperary hurling team over the past 10/15 years there have been a good few Cahill's playing , you don't pronounce them like "Kayhill" around there!

In Australia it's pronounced Kahil, if you were talking to Timmy and said Cahill -he'd say it's actually Kahill. who is right? |

Given that Tim Cahills roots are Irish as are Gary Cahills the Irish way of saying is right of course

The thing that pissed me off most (though it's non-Irish related) was when Hamilton used to call Jaap Stam "Schtoom", wtf like??

My dad said he saw an interview with Lucas Neill and he said Timmy Cahill with the Irish pronunciation. He's also of Irish ancestory.
Always annoyed me when English commentators say McGrath with the emphasis on the "th"

Theres a lot of lazyness and arrogance from English commentators regarding Irish names.
eg Doherty they either put a 'c' in it or say doe erty
Fahey they normally say far-hee or sometimes fay.
Mahon is always mahn or ma-hone.
They seem to make an effort with other foreigners though, I've never heard Thierry Henry called Terry Henry (where you pronounce the H)
Also Owen Coyle is always described as Scottish even though he played admittedly only once for Ireland, and he has several times in interviews mentioned the fact that his parents are from donegal.

The Brits don't even try with names that are not English. It's what makes them loveable really.

In fairness to the British commentators they could counteract us and tell us to pronounce our h's in words such as, thick, thirty, three etc. So I wouldnt hold it against them there.
