The Last Word

The Friday sports edition is the one to get. Cascarino and Lawrenson are regular soccer pundits and Cooper has a variety of expert commentators on the GAA and Rugby. If you're interested in Irish sport, this is a good place to start. Cascarino's weekly punt on the cross-channel football results was worth a listen also, last time I was at home at least.

Awful presenter

Aggressively pushes his liberal left wing views...! Tends to shy away from having guests on the show who offer an alternative point of view. The sad thing is - this is the way things are going with many media outlets globally these days. Trump may have got a lot of things wrong in recent years but he was spot on about the fake news liberal media who are so corrupt and continue to push a very dangerous agenda. Matt Copper is a prime example of what is wrong with the media today. Please can we bring back balance, honesty, humility and some passion for public service into the Irish media.
