The format of RTE's Sunday Game has been slammed by Joe Brolly in an eviscerating column, the former pundit calling the programme 'stage-managed' and 'entirely unnatural'.
Writing in the Irish Independent, Brolly took aim at his former employers, claiming the coverage was stilted and saying if you heard people speaking that way in a bar you would 'make your excuses'.
He wrote: “The day-time pundits on The Sunday Game are forced to stand awkwardly behind podiums, like politicians about to make their opening statement. Instead of conversation, it is a stage-managed chore.
