Welcome to the weather forecast for the week beginning Wednesday December 20th and the week beginning December 27th I'm going to take a Christmas New Year's break off So this would be a two-weeker at the end. Of course the second week is not that accurate But anyways Tuesday December 26th day after Christmas. We have a really full moon Will look beautiful possibly on some fresh snow Sun is not active this face, but there's a lot of stuff coming around that's going to be stirring up the geomagnetic story Looking at drought conditions from last week to this week things are a little better on their western slopes in the north But that's about it looking nationally a little lessening of the drought in the deep south Smoke wise not much to talk about at all nothing in the west Looking at our snowpack We're kind of averaging on the low side. We haven't hit 100 percent. We've been 85 percent Whoops one too far can see now. We're at 75 percent of median And so we're kind of getting left behind by the normals We do have this next storm coming in so we'll see if I can get us up there For the precipitation it was really a southern Counties storm this last time We had some flurries up around Longmont just enough to kind of put snowflakes and crevices in the grass But it wasn't much at all for Convection severe weather no severe weather really just convection ahead of this big wet low pressure system coming into California They're gonna get inches of rain There's gonna be pretty Amazing on Thursday and kind of slips into southern Arizona and then Arizona Nevada. I'm sorry, New Mexico a little bit of Southern California Just getting some thunderstorm possibilities Taking a look at Wednesday, we have this big storm coming in flooding rains are possible there a little ripple to our southwest That passes this is keen to come in and then this little bit here is an indication of the northern branch storm and our chances of a Christmas Eve snowstorm really depend on how these two phase together get going so here is Sorry to the 23rd you can see a lot of stuff is starting to move in So over the next 10 days we stay above normal for a few days and then drop Sunday Monday, and then stay kind of cool to normal for the week beyond got a Touchy finger today a really good chance of precipitation Sunday into Monday are taking a look at this big wet storm here and the storm up here We are in the dry right now some mountain waves here You can see the clouds have been sort of anchored to the Rockies out there. I can see it right now at the window The notable event is Saturday night Here's the northern branch and the southern branch ripples if they can Align we get a better storm slow down and really crank some moisture You'll see in a moment that there is a lot of moisture just to our east So for Saturday p.m. It we see the low deepening Lea the Rockies and this possibly getting really going the Canadian is much more enthusiastic I'll show you that in a moment. I don't have the North American model because it doesn't go out that far It's just one day before this So let's put this in motion in the GFS. Here's this bowling ball coming down here just drenching something California There'll be mudslides and floods and everything like that. Here's that northern branch storm coming down and they just kind of Match you get a little Rotating around there some energy is staying back up here and then it zooms on past After that in the week between Christmas and New Year's we have this big ridge Forming so we will be dry for much of that time Well, northern branch thing way up north of us passing Ridge over us right now It's that another ripple coming in but that seems to go south of us. So yeah north of us south of us Kind of like that very abnormally warm in the whole Western US and that is what the US forecast had For the month. So that one looks pretty good. This is Pacific air coming in So we're not gonna get brutally cold at all and you'll even see that though the cold front comes in on Monday We do get a little bit below normal. There's a lot of above normal north of us and really It doesn't go that far below normal. It's just not much Right the entire west has a lot of moisture in the atmosphere This is precipitable water largely due to this low spinning slowly out here getting a lot of that pushed into the atmosphere ahead and It really is moist as it goes past us Deepest moisture does stay to our east and northeast really quickly on Christmas Day. It dries out And I got some moisture in the northern Rockies Dew points. I'm just gonna show you into the storm that we're in the 25s. Here's 40 dew points 30 dew points Friday And then started the 23rd and then Christmas Eve you can see 30 dew points almost 40 dew points come back briefly That's where we're gonna get our chance of some Snow on the ground and it really dries out after that Let's take a look at at least a GFS right now It the strength of this system is all over the place run-to-run and different model a different model It's really hard to say but it does look like we'll get some white stuff on the ground for Christmas Eve There it is. It looks pretty healthy for Sunday into Christmas morning Maybe a little bit of wrap around after that And then we just stay high and dry So for the next five days, we do see moisture Here's a half inch up to boulder quarter inch or so around four columns and south And that translates into a few inches so boulder three four or five inches Three inches or so out here This is a looks like a downslope signature. So you have sinking air off the Rockies eating into the snow amounts And diminishing the amount of precipitation don't know if that's gonna hold but it's not great That has not been there every run This is the GFS again, but this is a different view different color scheme and you can see a little hole right there and Maybe three to five inches maybe Two to four inches right in the long long area. It's kind of hard to see in the scale But I'm gonna contrast this to the Canadian which has five to eight inches of snow in here That's that's pretty healthy So and there's a still a little bit of a hole right there But there's still a lot more snow happening in the Canadian the North American only goes out three days You can see it beginning to hit the mountains and like that. It's pretty heavy right down here over a foot and a half two feet maybe but it hasn't Calculated out far enough to show us what's gonna happen the low altitudes up with that over at the Longmont leader In a day or so the next 10 days not much more happens. It looks very similar It's over the next week. We are abnormally warm right now The cold front comes in we have a really good chance of some precipitation Right now most of the models around the inch inch two three or side or so in the lower elevations We stay cool Christmas beyond maybe you'll see some snow flurries a Monday morning I'd be really neat waking up to you some light snow in the air a real white Christmas by anybody's definition Going for the week after taking us through the New Year's We have probably really close to normal temperatures dry most of the time There's a hint the right after the New Year we might have a system coming in that could change by day or two This is two weeks out So don't put a lot of confidence in it if you got a three inch five inch snowstorm on Saturday Well, that can happen that can certainly Materialize and be in the forecast when I had nothing here at all just trying to cover that time out there So Christmas Day forecast most of cloudy high 39 low of 22 northeast winds about 10 and Ams snow showers are possible for New Year's Eve right a minute before midnight. It looks partly cloudy 34 West Northwest winds at six, so if you're out watching a ball drop someplace, it won't be too bad So check out Longmont leader. That's where I can keep you updated on the Snow and lack of snow through the holidays here and again. I will not be back next week I'll see you in the New Year. This has been chief meteorologist John Insworth Wishing you to keep looking up


ould come up with something brilliant oliver would ask him to release us and he would completely fail that is me that is you get me live that's it that's it i think part of it may be that but honestly uh myself and then we're saying this and it'll be you'll hear her thoughts in a moment that the emotional investment that you're expected to have in this movie doesn't materialize because we've only met these characters one thing marvel does very well is it introduces the characters why do you need to know so much about the character in any film in any of us i don't need to know that much about the characters well in any film when you get to the end of a film right forget a superhero movie for them but if we'll say um it's it's it's the it's a man dying he's a he's the leader of a wealthy family or something that and he dies like we saw in knives out or something like that you the movie should make you care to some degree about the guy well in some of the biggest biggest criticisms of stuff i've had is that i didn't feel in any way emotionally invested in any character i'd come back to you finnula some of the criticism of black adam has been that it's a setup movie and we've talked about these films in the past you know where they're the beginning of something and i presume that must be the case with this and that you know it's okay but it is a setup movie for what is to follow uh does that form part of your opinion of it or what is your opinion no i don't have a problem with them being a set up movie because to be honest they all end up being a set up movie like dc you know dc comics have had probably five or six set up batman because they keep trying to set it up into a long-standing franchise and it's only the current one that's actually managed to to hold through hold through for a few of them for them but to me the problem is exactly what michael said you're you're watching this movie the explosions and everything are great and they're fine it's but it's the same as what you've seen in all of them yeah yeah we've seen it but i they kind of went on the premise that you knew the backstory of it and there's a lot of time it's a very long movie like it's about two and a half hours nearly the movies and they put a lot of stuff into it and they kind of drew stuff out and whereas if they had spent that with a bit more character development you'd have actually cared in it because not only is i mean maybe people may know who black adam is there's another character in it that's played by uh and now all i can think of is revington steve rather than his actual name pierce proslin yeah thank you yeah go ahead yeah just because when we were talking about we were talking about revington steve pierce proslin's character in it is one that if michael has read the his comics but then there's like three or four characters in it and you're like they seem to be like even in the comic book world a a lesser characters and you just don't know anything about it it's like they're trying to have a little romance going on one side of it you're like i don't even know why these two characters are in it so do you think this is a post-production problem for no like a storytelling problem i wonder we never know unless we saw the real footage but you i've assumed that it's the way that it ended up being cost that you just don't know now maybe if i've been a massive black adam uh comic book fan but to be honest i've never even heard of this comic book and i don't think i mean michael's quite a comic book fan you don't want to see his collection it's scary fans one word to describe him yeah keep it and even he didn't know an awful lot about it so you kind of wonder you know is it a niche crowd that they've made this for when they're not explain we come to the point now where we judge films on based on the fact that well even michael didn't know the background to it i mean is that even he did not know the inside leg measurements of black adam's i would bow down to when it comes to this comic book seat the man knows his comic book and bay watch and bay watch and bay watch of course yeah um but dc is always kind of a mystery to me i was never a dc reader but i only the only thing of any of those dc stuff i liked was the trilogy of batman films from what's his face all the other batmans are rubbish i don't know that joker film almost the one with what's his face yeah that was quite good yeah all of that whacking phoenix yeah i'm superman yeah i didn't like that either yeah who else is there well the superman one now is the henry cavill guy isn't that isn't he yep he's he's i just never liked superman i never liked superman and there was i was in a family of people that really liked superman and i was just like that must have made it awkward at christmas meals and like people running around with plastic supermen and me go no who else is there so there's batman wonder woman one see there you go again wonder woman although her films are quite good the first one was very good you see it's a weak cast isn't it aquaman yeah aquaman's net yeah yeah right okay so yeah five out of ten from what's his face michael uh what's i have to i tell you i will give it a little bit more than five out of ten if only because at one point they've super close the rocks face oh yeah a regular size body and it it is worth going to cinema just to see how the rock would have looked if he had not become as big as he did when he was in his early days that freaked finula out she talked about that oh my god it was just like it's a bizarre thing it's like he wouldn't be able to cut it as a regular person but you were you were you were really shocked but i think they're not alone i would give it a six six and a half i mean it's something it's a bad movie it's just that it's like fine but i think we can accept that whilst use of gone in and what use of looking for a film i think if people want to go in there and see all the bells and whistles a new sort of superhero anti-hero whatever it might be that's why it's done so well at the box office it's going to tick those boxes yeah it has all the explosions that you're looking for and it's all the kind of um superhero fighting and different things like that if people are aware of the comics or maybe even if they do a little bit of the don't yeah even if they don't run you might go into it fresh into it it's just i think i went into it thinking the rock supposedly spent 15 years trying to get this film made this is his pet project he loved the comic books because he felt that you know that this is a person of color there's not that many superheroes of color in the different this is kind of the what the you know the Wakanda the black you know Black Panther of the DC world from what i can gather from stuff that i've read and in that sense you just i just felt a little bit left out so maybe my expectations were a little bit it does deliver the action it does yeah exactly if you like the rock and you want an action movie then this is a good bet i've yeah exactly and i've not really seen him in a bad film if the truth be told is he's like one of those actors that generally picks good stuff yeah okay listen thanks so much for that so far we're going to be talking about the watcher uh next which is an interesting one because the watcher was slated a little bit by critics i think but the public seemed to like it seemed to enjoy anyone i've spoken to so we'll see if that's the case did you've been watching it no but it has so stay there we'll be right to hear

the watcher i decided to watch this because i wanted to watch something halloweeny and i said this is might be less brutally scary as i'm not very good with that as everybody knows or anybody who listens knows it so i went for this the water uh it's all it's based on a true story which also is always something that attracts my attention and it's a very bizarre true story so basically it's these people these people have decided to move out of the city it's your kind implies that it's new york out to kind of like a connecticut type area in the tv program and what they're doing is is a they've moved into this beautiful big house and they're going to do it up and then after a while uh not very long after they're in it a couple of days after they're in it they start receiving anonymous letters and the anonymous letters say initially just that i'm watching you and you've come to the neighborhood and this is what it is eventually it starts listing their children's names then it starts saying you know why are any changes they're making to the house and things like that that it doesn't like and then the tv program then explores who the watcher may actually be and there is an amazing cast in this that's one of the main things about it i have to open up my phone again now because i've already done you have bobby canna valley i think is how you pronounce it and me a farrow it plays one of the neighbors you have jennifer coolidge that's in it yeah i know me Naomi watch who plays um bobby's wife and so it's a really outstanding cast that's in it uh i wasn't overly gone on it though have you watched all eight episodes uh no i'm up as far as five so i haven't gotten to the finale are you wobbling i am wobbling a bit with it now and i'm kind of like going i mean i i rarely don't finish anything so i probably will go back right so what then is what's the problem with it then and by the way if anyone out there has watched the watcher let us know what you thought about it 08 660 25 000 get involved in the conversation so what could go so hard well it's promoted with with this you know it's got this huge cast that kind of thing and it's very and it's very emotional it's a couple of things about it that i do it it's very netflixy it kind of netflix i for me anyways i don't know what's going on i mean they're dragging the arse out of it what does that what they're definitely dragging them they're definitely dragging it ours uh because there's no it's very hard to keep the tension going over seven episodes when there technically isn't a bad guy in the sense that they don't know who the bad guy is it's not like it's somebody that's actually physically assaulting them in any way this is somebody that's just trying to scare you know what i mean that's that's scaring them and you have to it that's a very hard thing to keep going for seven episodes and after a while then when they keep whining and giving out about it you know what i mean kt is five episodes into it and she thinks it's brilliant kevin's this five into it they're all like oh what's gonna happen who could it be but it hasn't it hasn't grabbed you like that no it hasn't grabbed me like that now i did do a little bit of the algorithm and maybe i spoiled it a bit for myself you can't do that i mean hola can we just erase all of finula's review there because you know the outcome so you're disappointed in your finula you know where you know how the story i'll tell you the outcome and then you'll realize they don't ruin it for me yeah because the tg program isn't really like the reality of it do you know what i mean yeah but you know where they're going with it well i mean with this they kind of like they've tried to bring in now a whole um supernatural element oh right okay they're bringing all these different elements i get you now that would put me off right away yeah you know they have um then next minute then the the daughter has a story where she's off with some fella that's too old for her and we're supposed to care about that as well i'm like i can only care about so much and i mean it's fine as a drama it's perfectly fine but would i be considering this as something like as i said i sat down to watch this this kind of like oh this could be something good for people to watch over halloween it has a few scares that's kind of a bit more like a uh i don't want to say well i do i suppose i'm gonna say it but like a smart kind of a drama do you know what i mean that it's more kind of in your head sort of a fright rather than just you know a slasher type of the yeah but to drag that out over seven or eight episodes is a is a big way too long so after five episodes what are you giving it out of ten i i have to say i'd still say only be sitting around the six or so it's just the same as black adam i know it's fine want you know okay fair enough just didn't do for me stay where you are adene mccarter is head of culture with dairy city instraband district council good morning adene thanks for joining us morning thank you very much for having me all very very exciting dairy's internationally acclaimed halloween festival over

halloween dot com lovely stuff thank you so much take care of yourself that is uh a dean there um are you a big halloween person uh fenula because uh we we do know your your your temperament for horror films well you don't have any yeah your tolerance for them sorry funny enough actually I watched you know background watched pretty much all of the final destination films because it's stuck in my head the nicest the last horror I think maybe he's he's went to see one since this is the last horror it's not even a horror that fenula went to see yeah scared the deepers have you grown up at all no no I mean I've got to see a couple of bits with Michael but yes I went to see halloween the new halloween movie which we I'm dying to hear about but he was like when you come and I was like no that's not happening um yeah no I'm still final destination you did not like I mean your time is your time yeah yeah no did it for me my it's quite good it's my age I'm getting too old right so shall we talk about halloween then we can do it yeah again this is another one mixed reviews yes very much expectation for this is part of a trilogy as such yeah exactly this is a trilogy it started in 2018 jimmy lee curtis came back she's the original lori well she's lori she is lori um and as I think I said last year when there was one of these out there's actually multiple timelines because they keep rebooting it so to watch this one you just ignore the other nine in the middle and just it's this is these three are a sequel to the first batman yeah they just keep restart super man yeah they just keep restart spider man yeah wonder woman someone needs to come up with new ideas don't I know someone has to we'll do it we'll do it so basically at this trilogy uh the first one was brilliant I loved it the second one I absolutely hate it I just didn't get it at all and I went along to see the third one last night it's very divisive as you said Greg very divisive and I have to say it doesn't feel like a halloween movie because Michael Myers the antagonist of all the movies isn't really in this he's just a supporting character and the focus of this movie is a character called Cory Cory lives in the same town as Michael Myers the the famous town where all this has happened and he's a bit of an outcast people in the town even though he's basically innocent they blame him for something that happened a few halloween's ago we see all this in the movie so he's an outcast and he's badly treated he's bullied now he's uh probably about 20 21 22 it's an indeterminate age but he's young fella and he gets a lot of grief from the people and we follow his story so there's no action or no want to well because it's halloween why are they trying to be clever and reinvent something yeah well Michael Myers exactly I know that's yes that's the response of quite a lot of people so over the course of this movie not much action in the first hour just a lot of character buildup and Laurie is there and her family is there then Cory's path intersects with Michael Myers in an intriguing manner and then in the second half of the movie you get lots of action and now one of the criticisms is that I mean it's obviously front loaded to the back or back loaded back and I was kind of interested here it mentioned as it relates to a slasher movie because we know that a lot of it's misogynistic violence over the top and yeah I mean this one people being too sort of no I think there's an accuracy in that I mean you can read that into it definitely I think this one leans away from that because it doesn't have the tropes of the slasher movie in the same way that some of the halloween do are all of the friday the 13th in which Jason is going around killing all these teenagers who are just getting it on and that's the meat that's the whole meat and potatoes of that franchise it's clear watching this third movie which I did enjoy much more than last year I wouldn't rave about this one but I did enjoy it it's clear that the creators are taking it very seriously in the same way that the creators of dexter took dexter very seriously at the end of dexter and I would say too seriously considering he's like a pop culture character but they're clearly want to finish their trilogy by taking a very serious look at Michael Myers and a very serious look at the nature of evil in society and I don't know that this is the correct vehicle because you see if I watch a horror film right I want to step out of reality absolutely yeah I don't want to framed in in realistic realistic I'll watch dharma for that if I want yeah you know what I mean but I can see horror is making the same thing over and over again yeah they want to do something fresh horror I agree with you Greg horror is cathartic the horrors of the real world are too horrific to contemplate a lot of the time but if you're watching a straightforward Dracula tracking down you know people in a big haunted castle it's therapeutic to watch that or haunting of hill house which was enormously therapeutic what they've done with this yeah they've brought the real world into it they have the best of intentions it's not for everybody it's not particularly scary to be quite honest and it's not even that bloody although there are some bloody deaths in the last half hour but I did enjoy it because I could recognize they were doing something and it wasn't what I expected to see when I went into the cinema last I'm reading between the lines here have they set up are they setting up another character for future films I can't really answer that with spoiling things yeah but let's let's be honest it all sounds a little bit obvious let's be honest there's the franchise this trilogy sounds like it sounds to me like a passing of the the franchise will continue in one form or another I they've already rebooted it several times I mean this is making money they'll reboot it or start it again because horror is a cheap to make that's why there's so many horrors out there they are cheap to make absolutely um right on to watcher I was watching a few episodes last night now it's not for me says the listener for nula uh michael healy ray and the documentary living with Lucy fabulous soap lifting that comes in from Maeve the stranger 2022 true story on netflix very good film about police trying to catch a cold killer the watcher is okay the stranger that sounds familiar uh let me see is it new right okay uh by the way does you know that Dracula has connections to donnie gall dracula and frankenstein there's a few stories to say brahm stoker's uh stoker's mom hailed from ballish shannon it wouldn't be the first time someone claimed someone famous from ballish shannon lesbeth dixon maternal grandmother of frankenstein author mary shelly also hailed from ballish shannon that comes in from kevin and i love the oldest town in in ireland apparently and just let you know that the car and on a traders association in conjunction within a shown carnival group will be bringing the streets alive with voices of the sea halloween carnival it's on sunday uh from six p.m so if you want to get along to that right okay what are you giving halloween out of ten and it sounds like it's very subjective right it's very subjective yeah it's it's it's i think you're just trying to make funula feel bad for not going to it it's not really a horror and it's seven out of ten do you get the feeling you're just trying to i know he's trying to lull me into a sense that i'll eventually go and then be completely i would it would have been a need to be institutionalized after a no joke but it would have been very interesting to hear your take on it like because it's not a straight up horror film i don't know i find it hard to watch that anyways because i did love the like the original is as old as me nearly you know like when the original came out i was in my teens and you're kind of in your teens early 20s type things when the first ones came out and we were petrified you were petrified and you were wondering what people would argue well who's better is it him is it freddy kruger is it jason you know and you know what the films were they were were nonsense but they were there just i just don't understand why people are trying to get clever with an old horror franchise because it is you know quite literally what it is people are going to that not for the smartness they want the scares they want that they want that petrified feeling that as even as you're leaving the cinema and walking to the car park you're like we're all gonna die we're all okay yeah and how many sort of 18 19 year olds got back from the cinema and 55 year old dud sit in the front room what did you think what do you send

because fin harps really do need a result against uct ucd tonight in their last home game of the season and you know when you're framing games during a darty who's our soccer correspondent here at highland radio when we do frame games you're trying to you know you're always trying to make out that they mean something do you know what i mean you know the way they do this could mean that and that could but this is this is everything really in terms of where football is being played what division football is being played next season it all comes down to this game and hopefully another yeah and you know what greg we have been kind of gearing ourselves towards this game for a few weeks now at this stage you've always known that the match against ucd was coming up towards the end of the season and it was always going to be so important and unfortunately perhaps they haven't able to be building enough points ahead of this to make this match kind of uh well you wouldn't say no avoid but you would have hoped they'd have enough points on board at this stage that they wouldn't have needed a major result tonight but unfortunately they're going to tonight knowing that they they have to avoid defeat greg to keep their their very slim hopes of of avoiding the drop away so is this still in finn harps hands uh effectively yes it is and that's really what you want heading into a game you don't want to be having to rely on on results elsewhere that's exactly it they have a good goal average which is a a key factor at this late stage of the season and yes it's in their own hands if they win tonight their back level on points going into the final games of the season harps will be away from home against drahada and ucd will be at home to shamrock rovers now okay they're crown league champions but it's a big ask for ucd to defeat shamrock rovers so yeah two ones a big ask for shamrock rovers uh to get up for a game when the the title's already in the bag but well that yeah sport always throws up these conundrums it does and we know that harps of two games left to play two wins and they'll be they'll be okay you can't look elsewhere you have to look at uh you have to look at where it's at and i mean we can't look ahead but you would fancy them in the promotion relegation playoff would you well it depends who you talked to on that greg um i mean if you talk to olly horgan he would point out that look at the quality that's in that first division waterford and treaty united uh longford and gallway that's the four teams that are in the playoffs it's looking like it's going to be waterford because they have a strong advantage after their first leg but both waterford and treaty were in the fei cup semifinals beat uh premier division opposition along the way so listen you can't take anything for granted on that yeah um aiden cambell's commercial director with finne harps i mean you know a lot said about the twelfth man uh you'd want a game like this to be a home game and you would want an awful lot of people out there roaring uh roaring the team on aiden yes definitely greg i mean um as as jimmy just said it's been a very difficult season and i think we go back to those great scenes at the victory against longford at the end of last year and um you know a lot of people on the pitch just great atmosphere and the fans really played a crucial part um you know if we stay up this year it will be the seventh out of eight year in the premier division so that would be a great achievement and the fans have just been a huge part of that and olly spoke earlier in the week about you know the fact that they keep coming to matches they've been going to away matches really getting behind the team and water you know it really does make a huge huge difference so if we can um you know the players have to do their parts um there can be no excuses we we've played ucd four times and um you know this would be the first time we beat them they've got a good team but um with the fans as you say greg uh get behind the team tonight it would make a huge difference and we need to go out there and we've got the experience and ballsy to win the match look and that's decided on the pitch but i mean you know it is a business and relegation is a big blow because in terms of travel where you have to go uh sponsorship and with the new with we you know things progressing with the new ground and what have you uh this just would be a really really good year they're all good years but this would just be really uh a great year for fin harps to pull off the great escape yeah definitely look you know we we lost at the start of the year um i i think it's in one way it was a tribute to the recruitment from all in the management team that's um you know we lost 13 players at the start of this year so he pretty much had to start almost from scratch um you know we had to to to look everywhere for uh to try and put together a team that could compete this year and it was always going to be really very difficult and we're one of two part time teams in the division so that presents obviously huge challenges so you know i think everyone is realistic about what to expect but um as you say staying in the premier division the profile of the club the recent good news about the stadium and we have actually got our new stadium draws coming to a conclusion after the match tonight and for 20 000 so people can still get tickets for that online so um we've a lot of fun racing ahead and we do have a vision for the club um the academy teams um continue to do well around the 14s around the national final which is um we got two national cups at uh underage last year so there's tremendous work going on but it you know it really would be fantastic if we can just get this result tonight i see that the lads out in front of me are working on the pitch there was a lot of rain last night but the pitch is in good condition so is it going yeah it's there's no subject it's not subject to a uh uh a check of the ground or anything is it it's going ahead nothing like that right now um pitch it pitches grand uh dry night uh it's forecast for tonight so under the lights as you know you know finn park can be a special place so if we can get the atmosphere going there'll be there's a bit of a nervous around Greg obviously you know and a bit of attention but everybody's doing their bets to get ready for tonight with the match night um arrangements so yeah as you say we need the supporters to come get behind us and get us over the line tonight all right aiden goodman thanks for that aiden cambell commercial director commercial director with finn harps um the game is broadcast live on highland radio obviously uh we want as many people as possible to turn up it to the ground but bring your walkman too uh because he can listen to the commentary in the ground uh if you do get along so tell us about the coverage tonight german yeah deckland boil and myself are on commentary uh greg match starts at eight o'clock and you know i was just thinking when i was coming up here um at the harps you see the same familiar faces week in week out that you know the the core supporters always there and among them andy o'boil would have been there tonight poor andy sadly passed away yesterday and and listen on a on a match like this andy would have been there in a seat down below us in the press box he would always come up and say hello what half time too so listen our thoughts are with the o'boil family at the sad time all right okay german listen thank you for that and uh very nice words there as well okay that was the voice there of german doherty soccer correspondent here at highland radio and he'll be bringing you play-by-play action of that really really important game for finn harps tonight at finn pogg eight p.m kickoff against ucd and it is it's a must win really isn't it german that's how you describe it yeah a draw

to you now sunny spells will develop with scattered showers following this afternoon and evening some showers will be heavy moderate to fresh southwest winds highest temperatures of 13 to 15 degrees but if you're in gallway apparently it's sunny that's what finne was telling us finne is uh yeah so right what shall we uh finish on both of you have been watching werewolf on disney plus is that worthy of our last uh couple of minutes or shall we switch to something else yeah yeah oh no look at it people like and it's very old-fashioned um black and white uh and shot in a way that they kind of old frankenstein those type of movies would have been done in the past it's only 50 minutes long it's it's kind of a short thing it's it is done by marvel and it is an old comic book that they've researched um so is it a film or like well what would you say what a single they're calling it a special they're not calling it a film because it's only an hour long it's not even an hour long so it's like it's almost like a pilot episode for tv show but it's not it's just an hour long it's like a short movie right finne do you like it yeah i know i have to say i did like it and has a couple of jumps in it and has it you know bits and pieces that just means someone scratches the nose with you and you're like that's true it does um but again what where it lost me was that this is a comic book movie in which it's giving me no background yeah i get you it drops you straight into it and if you're unaware of the characters of it i'm watching this i am enjoying it but i don't know why i'm watching it what is the point of it yeah i know what you mean yeah it's a theme that gets you yeah you're sort of in this thing you're not it's only in the last few seconds that you're kind of figuring out who everybody is and that kind of thing in it so you're that was really my reasoning behind this i know michael had a completely different thing because again this is somewhere that he had watched before in his wheelhouse yeah i love this i mean i give it 10 out of 10 critics embrace this 91 from critics well i've no one critic who hasn't embraced it and her name is finneula rabbit and one of the things that's interesting about this is the director is a guy called michael geochino and he's a composer and he was the guy who did the music for tv shows like alias and lost stay awake greg so he always wanted to be a filmmaker and this is his first time behind the camera that's the interesting thing about it it's fascinating greg uh because i've been a fan of this guy i would have bought the cds i would have loved like alias so they made this for you really they made this for me yeah no one else is just but it was great fun i watched this the night it came out and i am going to watch it again over the weekend of halloween because i just loved it loved it loved it right okay well we're not going to get to the end of the program on that so i'm thinking five out of ten for you finneula ten out of ten for you yes i would give it more than that because it's not that i like it it's beautifully sharp yeah it's beautifully sharp very much in if you like that old you know the old black and white original kind of horror stuff that came up it definitely has that kind of a feel to it there's a you know because it's shot in black and white even with the blood and guts you're not really getting full you know the way it just had that really kind of an old thriller sort of a feel to it so i would give it a bit more now i would be taking giving it about a seven and a half eight i think i i'm sure i'm sure there are people listening that like myself in the 1980s bbc two saturday night at midnight when i was in my teens they had had the the dracula films the frankenstein films the werewolf films i was that that's what i was doing was 12 13 14 and i turned out okay so i mean i mean there's going to be people that will like this film for that reason they'll be like i used to watch those okay someone text in dracula's connections that's a sly go and not to ballie shallon leave ballie shallon for rory gallagher the blues legend uh cue someone texting in from cork uh right okay let me just tidy up some stuff for you here i want to mention because we do have some time with michael and fenula but i tend then to rush myself at the end john breasant is live after 12 o'clock he is live from homeland in letter kenny to celebrate the unpack initiative uh the company's running an association with donagall creamery so if you're in and around the area

that great prize right to you okay uh the thief his wife in a kin canoe virgin one on thursday it's a terrestrial sort of a channel so we might finish that in about a minute a half or do you want to hold that off no look at it again it's on virgin i that's been on the list for a couple of weeks so i think it's on maybe the third episode of it but you can stream the whole lot through the virgin service through sky through any of your services basically again attractive it's based on a true story it's about a very ordinary prison warden who finds himself in deaths through kind of a few series of different things and decides that he should fake his own death and so himself and his wife go into this thing they don't tell the rest of the family and they fake his own death people may have seen i mean i if you are somebody who watches the news and things like that you would have seen this came to a very odd conclusion i remember the newspaper headlines on it but not enough that i would you know i don't remember enough i don't want to be talking too much about it because you don't want to give it away for something that that wants to go into it fresh but it was only just like about two or three years ago that the story kind of came to a conclusion it is like it is imagine yourself if you decided to fake your own death this is where you're asked that badly organized yes this is not somebody that that ties to massive you know organizations like you'd see in the movies or whatever that was like you know fake id in them and all this kind of crap this is basically if you know myself michael sat down we could totally get away with this totally you're enjoying it so far and some people have already watched it because i think it aired on itv earlier in the years it was on earlier in the um earlier in the year i think it was on around march or april virgin seems to be getting a lot of stuff that was on utv on march or april and um you know they had like holding the ram norton one which is very good as well and now they have this so they've had a few things that are coming up out the one you enjoyed as well the the bomb expert one but was that tipping point to whatever it was called all right yeah yeah they're they're we virgin are kind of getting them now six months later vanilla i'm gonna have to say enjoy your weekend and a big hello to everyone in go away thank you so much for joining us remotely it's very much appreciated uh have a lovely have a lovely weekend okay take care of yourself michael as always thank you very much for your commitment in always turning up at the studio it's greatly appreciated all right take care of yourself enjoy your weekend look for all you do you've planted to the we do appreciate it all right that's where we have to leave
