Red card for Gordon and first prize in acting to..

[RadioGAAGAA]

Can none of the Down boys post a link to video footage of the incident?   After all RRHF was able to produce a pretty conclusive clip of Marsden chinning Jordan.

Its on rte.ie - go to the media player:

Programmes, The Sunday Game (with pat) and then go to page 2 to see the qualifier highlights.

Doesn't look good with this picture but apparently the red card was for handbags straight after this :

Certainly doesnt look good from this.
Maybe he will get off with the red & replace it with another for this incident

That picture is not relavant to the red card.  I know the photographer personally (he is a Laois resident) and he has confirmed that that picture was taken 30 seconds BEFORE the red card incident, and before the referee had broke them up and given them a warning.  The red card incident was after that and some metres away from that. Unfortunately he does not have a photo of the actual shoulder hit, nor Clancy dropping.

That link provided to the Sunday Game with Pat, is Ireland Only. As R.T.E. apparently do not consider the six counties to be part of Ireland, it is not viewable in the North. Partitionist mentality is alive and well in the 26 Counties broadcasting organisation

Correct, but the goods news is that the link will work after 9:30 on wednesday nights - that's when the rest of the world (including NI) can see it.

PangurBan you are being slightly unfair to RTE here. If your ISP says that you are in Ireland then RTE will provide you the service, North or South. If you use an ISP that will not or does not do this, then RTE cannot provide the service as Setanta have the rights outside of Ireland. RTE have many partitionist aspects, but this is not one of them.

Yeah, but how many people have been successful going down this route?
My guess is hardly any.

Its hard enough getting an ISP to do anything regarding your own account, never mind getting them to write a letter to RTE (an organisation most of these UK ISP's have probably never heard of) on your behalf.

The reality is that NI has effectively been excluded from this service.
RTE may claim that they will respond to a UK ISP's confirmation, but if RTE know that the UK ISPs never produce them, its an empty claim.
Notable that RTE don't publicise just how many successful NI requests they've had.

was the appeal hearing not last night?

Yep, still not viewable at 09:30 on Thursday morning - they're now a full 12 hours late in making it available internationally.
