RTE Newsflash. Nice one Clive
Newsflash: the lusitania is in a bit of bother. RTE will soon be all over the story, once researchers calm down after breaking the scoop of the evening just eleven minutes after the final whistle in Ireland v Ireland tonight. Proud Gaels everywhere will remember forever where they were when Billo breathlessly announced…
“The news has just come through; that Celtic are through!”
Surely, a touch of white smoke would have been appropriate in the circumstances.
Worn out by breaking that one, there was no way the Montrose calculators could handle the Arsenal group. Satisfied with his achievement in realising that three teams could finish level on eleven points - no small triumph for Razor Houghton you suspect - the unbearable one was content to declare that “Arsenal might have to win in Portugal”. And noone in front of or behind the camera seemed to have any interest in reading the next page of the UEFA rules to reveal the Arse’s unassailable position in such an eventuality.
Better news over on the ITV, where Clive T trotted out the familiar - and always magnificent:
“Scholes gets gingerly to his feet.”
It will never get old.
