The Sunday Game

[manfromdelmonte]

Someone needs to tell the pundits they are there to analyse the games not pontificate.
Division 1 v division 4.
Sligo did quite well

Is Sean Cav going to claim that Antrim, Derry and Cavan have always put up stern resistance in Ulster?

Antrim fair enough but it's rare that anyone gets anything handy off those other 2.

That'd be a different Cavan to the runaway leaders of the Ulster Championship Roll of Honour then!!

I like McStay but watching him use a diagram to explain what a long kickout is was painful.

I don't like McStay & that was a woeful piece, talk about stating the obvious "if you kick it short you will win it more often but you've further to go to get a score, if you kick long you win it less often but if you do win it you've a better chance to score"
FFS, he's getting paid to present this drivel

[screenexile]

Jesus lads can we get a petition up or something to stop them showing games we've seen from a few hours before. . . why do they have to analyse the the live games they've already shown in such detail when that's already been done??

There's so much going on at this time of year they should really be using their time better!!

The "analysis" of the Sligo v Galway game last night was tremendous. Sean Cavanagh basically had a whinge about structures for 2 minutes and then Des goes "and now moving on". I didn't expect them to say much about the game as it probably didn't deserve more than a couple of minutes but at least make some kind of half hearted effort. All the other games got it but this one was just brushed aside.

Brolly did the same last week for Leitrim v Roscommon
Seems the Ulster boys are quite condescending towards connacht teams

And Cavan haven't exactly been overly competitive in Ulster for 3 decades. (97 excepted)

Would fancy winning an Ulster title this year with Tyrone's run (2 x Div 4, Div 2, Div 2 or relegated to Div 2), as opposed to Div 4 (promoted), Div 1, Div 1, ie #LeitrimRising #NationalLeague Champions #All-Ireland Semi-finalists. Can't believe Canvanagh said all that with a straight face; then again he has so much makeup plastered on his face, he has only one expression. Analyze the feckin game lads; enough of the pontificating.

Going by Saturday, it looks a very special Cavan outfit this year.

Check your facts then. Maybe it is your own county you are thinking of regarding not being competitive for decades?

[RadioGAAGAA]

Hurling is such a success because it's tirered!  Look at Liam McCarthy and Joe Mc Donagh.  Look at the Christy Ring

Football counties don't get it.

No one looks at the Joe McDonagh or Christy Ring cups.

The main reason hurling is in such a healthy state is that you have 4 or 5 genuine (maybe even more) contenders for the All Ireland.

Football? Who can really see past the dubs?

Yesterday showed that poor football teams trying to play possession football can still entertain if the match is close.

If marketing correctly, the Joe Mc Donagh would be a super competition for tv.  It's very competitive and to a good standard.

Would Jerome Quinn not cover it?

Hurling is at a good level as they play at their own level .

BBC's deferred coverage of Down v Armagh was good. The post match on-pitch chat between Oisin, Mark and Marty was entertaining.
The commentator's gaffes during the game just add to the enjoyment. McHugh? what can you say?  he's unique, the lack of coordination between thought, language, expression and time, is endearing.

Despite the sunday game going into extra time, BBC still rendered a full highlights edition of the Cavan Monaghan game.

If RTE matched the coverage of BBC they wouldn't get half the criticism they get and give me Mr McHugh over Joe attention seeking Brolly any day.
