Ger Canning Commentary Scandal
Yet more controversy for the national broadcaster. I watched the Leinster Final and Westmeath's first goal was a thing of beauty. Destined to go into the annuls of great GAA goalkeeper howlers. Ger's commentary added to it, "He's dropped it over" *awkward silence* Eamon Fitz politely points out it's actually a goal. Ger belatedly says "it's a goal!".
The confused commentary perfectly represented the confusion in the stadium, that half a beat extra before everyone, including Comerford, realized what had happened.
But later, on the Sunday Game, the audio is edited so Ger immediately says "it's a goal". No more brief confusion, no more mild embarrassment for Ger. No iconic commentary moment. Now I'm wondering how deep this conspiracy goes. How often are the suits in Montrose manipulating our reality?!
