UTV & BBC & RTE & TV3

Typical BBC - I think the garda jumped into the bit of a scuffle and escorted the ref off the pitch - but he didn't need an escort !

The Dromore v Mayobridge game didn't even get a mention.

Funny how the BBC online report of the Cross match has a photo of the so-called brawl, yet the reports for Glenullin and Dromore matchs only have archived pictures. Must be a co-incidence.

Okay, I'll admit they also have a photo for the St. Gall's match, but that the friggin one they were commentating on (I'm told).

Well done Paddy Heaney on highlighting the inadequacies in coverage.

We all know you you take a wee look on here from time to time.  Hopefully everyone will lift the phone and register their displeasure.

Hopefully too more journalists will run with this and highlight the disparity even more.

If you wanted clear evidence of the partisan policies in UTV and BBCNI you only have to look at the annual poppy fest that you see at this time of year. If these stations were representative of winder 6 county society then you might have some wearing poppies and some not, there are vast areas of NI where you would not meet anyone wearing a poppy. Poppy wearing raises issues of why this symbol is worn when other political symbols are not, however there is a clear effort to make everyone wear poppies, which suggests that either the staff are not representative of NI society or that if they are that one political viewpoint is being imposed on them.

Nadine Coyle was even wearing one the other night on Jonathan Ross, though that show goes out in England where I think it's almost compulsory. Doubt it was her idea, and she constantly tried to hide it with her hair.

Surely this Board has sunk to the depths when this bimbo's name makes it onto it!

Aye sure when i was watching the NFL the other night on Sky Sports they have an American fella as an analyst and i noticed he wasnt wearing a poppy, i thought fair enough he is yank why the f**k would he wear one, tuned in about an hour later and he had one on. So obviously there were a few phonecalls.

Ironic that they are remembering people who died fighting against Nazism.

They are, but also people that died fighting against democracy.

Last year I accidentally disrupted the 2 minutes silence they had in college for rememberence day, I was hungover and not really paying attention to what was going on.

Does the poppy commemorate just world war soldiers or the lot of them, ie the Tans etc.

[armaghniac]

or the lot of them, ie the Tans etc.

The wearing of a paper poppy in your lapel commemorates the lot of them, Tans included.

I listened ot the 6 o'clock news on BBC Radio Ulster and guess what ?? The BBC had a reporter at the Dromore / Bridge match today - he gave a short report at the end !!!!!

What is the world coming to for God's sake ? What next ?? Pictures on tomorrow evenings Newsline Never !

[Out in Front]

I'd say they'll have pictures - there was a cameraman there too as far as I could see.

Also noticed that it received headline billing on teletext. The times they are achangin
