The Sunday Game

[BennyCake]

The c'ship is a farce, but there's a time and place for saying that. Not on TSG.

TSG should show Cork v Tipp and the Carlow match this evening

[Gmac]

Holy feck....Joe's opening gambit first day of the championship, first show of the year, first question asked...... Joanne:..Your thoughts on the upcoming season Joe... Joe: Well sure the whole thing is a farce...

Like wtf, is that eejit getting paid for this nonsense??? What are the Gaa doing letting Rte constantly denigrate the game like that, its been going on for years.

how do the companies who buy advertising spots on rte during the Sunday game put up with all the negativity,the analysts would make u turn off the TV

[Jinxy]

People would still watch football & hurling if you had a selection of farm animals on the sunday game.
All that advertisers care about is the viewing numbers.

[The Trap]

People might keep watching hurling but football..........

I don't think it would work as a porn site

Sure you could say the same about TG4 League coverage. Most people don't know what is being said in the analysis or commentary. It still does not stop them watching.

The fact that the Mayo guy took 12 steps for his goal wasn't even mentioned in the analysis? Brolly is right about the football being a farce - expected easy wins for Mon, Don, Mayo - what a waste of time & effort

Nobody around me at the match noticed either. Just shows how much people get lost in a moment!

Footnote:

Can you imagine the Headlines if it was Aido who scored the goal?

[mrdeeds]

They always show big teams and they are always likely to hammer opposition early on. Therefore miss potential crackers. I'd say the Leinster games decent today but get a minute later in highlights. Last year the same when a terrible game shown whe  Tipperary Cork in football supposedly game of the year. I think they need to show a bit of imagination in what their showing and decide to show games that have the potential to be competitive.

In any competition in the world the stronger teams will consistently beat the weaker teams with the odd exception thrown in. It doesn't get mentioned in other sports but is the current buzz thing to beat Gaelic football with.

The only solution is a tiered championship which the smaller counties don't want or handicap starts for weaker teams which is ridiculous.

Another depressing day for Football in Ulster

He was pulled and dragged and pushed.

And? You're still only allowed 4 steps...

[highorlow]

People have their sums wrong on the steps.

Ref played advantage which negated the initial 4 steps, 12-4 = 8 then subtract the steps caused by the drop kick which was about 4 = 12-4-4 = 4. Factor in likely currency conversions in the Tyrone refs head reduces steps to 3 = perfect goal.
