Murphy wants end to RTÉ’s ‘manager bashing’

Ulster Council secretary Danny Murphy has called for an immediate cessation of what he terms “manager bashing” by RTÉ pundits in particular.

Murphy, concerned by what he feels is a deviation from conventional games analysis, believes an “unhealthy trend” is being pursued which is culminating in character assassination.

“I do not think that this kind of punditry serves any real purpose, nor is it particularly appealing to the viewing audience,” asserted Murphy.
