There's nothing quite like the tag-team of George Hamilton and Jim Beglin for some mid-week football on RTÉ, and sure enough, the first half of Roma vs Real Madrid provided a few laughs along with the commentary.
After George delighted us with his regular referee factoid...
George Hamilton will ALWAYS ensure those listening know the other occupation of the match referee. Vascular surgeon tonight. #ThanksGeorge

Jim Beglin decided to give Belgian midfielder Radja Nainggolan a bizarre nickname, and his reasoning for doing so was simply superb:
Ferret head.
Very much looks like a ferret, doesn't he?
Does he?
Regardless it was a magnificent moment of commentary, and the type of thing we love seeing, or hearing in this case, from football on RTÉ.
