Shane Glynn is the Executive Producer of Sport, said that the BBC followed Greencastle to Croke park, and to cut a long story short, no money in the budget for any other coverage

Has anyone noticed the picture the BBC used on the 606 page for the weekend's games?

Maybe if they took their heads from out of their NI soccer loving arses.

Agree. The ultimate disgrace was after the six counties beat England and BBC NI reported it in a "This victory had brought the once divided people of Northern Ireland together. Isn't it great that sport can knock down the barriers between nationalists and unionists in our wee country?".

Cringe worthy.
To top that, wasn't Irish News editor Noel Doran dragged onto Radio Ulster to explain why the front page of the Irish News wasn't devoted to coverage of the victory ::)

And what was the attendance at that game? 14,000 I believe. As my Tyrone mate put it - you'd get more people round the chip van in Clones.
Have to agree that the GAA could also do a lot more than they seem to both interms of proactive approach, and facilities. Would ulstyer Council lobby for a licence boycott?

Sent the emails.

Filled in the official complaints form.

Telephoned. Incidentially, the guy at the other end of the phone never heard of the GAA. He did have an Belfast accent. Go figure...

I think we should elect Paddy as the official spokesman of this thread, wonder does he trawl through here looking for inspiration?

Complaint done. Theres no way motorcylcling is the biggest spectator sport in the country - the gaa is a by mile. I know the north west gets over 10000 for 1 weekend in the year buts its still miles behind gaelic. There was a number of weekends during the summer when over 150,000 attended championship games in Ireland.

The North West gets over 100,000 at the event. Not 10,000. Just to keep you right.
