Very strange one. I wonder if another station has poached them. |

I liked Early. McDevitt and Ciaran Murphy were nothing short of spoofers. Are the other backroom staff?

That's interesting alright. Will miss Ken Earley and his legendary commentating even though he wasn't great. Best sports show on radio all the same! Be interesting to see what Ger Gilroy does with it!
|

I could agree with you but then we'd both be wrong.

Would be a bit harsh on Damien O'Meara who just started "Game On" but you never know!

Eoin McDevitt a spoofer? Best presenter in my opinion. Massive blow for Newstalk.

TV maybe, I could see Mcdevitt replacing bill, I'd regard Mcdevitt, sadlier and Cunningham as a future A panel, Darragh Maloney will always be the b panel to me

McDevitt is good but so is Ger Gilroy who's taking his place. Ken Early's voice is painful to listen to, the chap wrecks my head.

They come as a package as they all went to college together and that is why the chemistry on the show was so good. Mc Devitt is excellent and has a huge career ahead of him in my view. Early is a very good journalist but not a great commentator.
The biggest lost to newstalk will be the producer Mark Horgan who is Shane Horgans (the rugby) brother.
They must be going to RTE or possibly the BBC Edited by Baldrick - 04 Mar 2013 at 5:01pm |

Did not see this coming
![]() Usually find it hard to listen to Off The Ball regularly as I used to with training on most nights (not a podcast person by any means) but still thought it was an excellent show. Gilroy is a very good presenter imo but wonder will show be as good from now on |

Am I the only one who thinks Gilroy is a bit on the pretentious side? Really gets on my tits for some reason. The show really came in to its own once McDevitt took over from him.
They'll surface somewhere in the not too distant future, hopefully in the same format ![]() It's too good not to. |

Who does he write for? Can't stand him on the radio.
He started the show and was the main man until they moved him into more peak time slots so I'm sure it will be as good, if not better. Edited by Trapped - 04 Mar 2013 at 5:05pm |

There is no doubt in my mind that they are going somewhere else. No way would they all resign in mass if they did not have something lined up.
They are going somewhere else as a package and I am sure that they will put on the same show on another station.
Gilroy was always going to step in as he is theor boss and is the Sports Editor of the Station. Edited by Baldrick - 04 Mar 2013 at 5:07pm |

Apparently they made requests for show to start an hour earlier and other stuff but were rejected
