The Sunday Game

Is this the same RTE whose celebrity pundit becries the elitism that is ruining our games?

BBC NI have no bother showing highlights on a Saturday at 5pm of 3pm Irish league matches yet RTE can't do the same even though the highlights aren't aired until 6 hours after the final whistle of NFL matches. I don't imagine it to be very difficult or too costly to do so. It's pathetic coverage.

TG 4 coverage decent enough this evening, covered Ros/meath, Tipp/Cork, Kerry/Donegal & Dub/Kildare in half an hour with no bullshit "analysis". No mention of D3/4 results though

Covered waterford/wex, Clare/tipp, dub/offaly & KK/Cork in the hurling. Also a few mins of Moy v an Gaeltachta

The division 2 3 and 4 results were not mentioned. Disgraceful.

Was looking forward to even a brief discussion about the results but to not even read through them beggars belief. A new low.

Totally agree. #wedoexist

Donald Trump tweeted @tsg

Division 2 is for LOSERS. Division 3 is weaker than Steve Bannon
Division 4 is sad.

Hurling on again first tonight, 2 weeks in a row now.

Serious footage from Newbridge.

Like one of the subs filmed it on his phone.

You'd think they'd have a few a spare cameras left over from the 6 nations.

Itchy · February 04, 2018, 11:00:44 PM

No cameras at any Div2 game. That's backwards from last year. Pathetic coverage.

FermGael · February 04, 2018, 11:01:14 PM

The coverage of divisions 2,3 and 4 is actually laughable .
A wee shout out to Meath and London.
You couldn't make it up.

And then people wonder why the counties outside the super 8 don't want a b competition.
The Sunday game tonight demonstrates exactly what sort of coverage and exposure that would receive.

piss poor programme. second week in a row they didnt even show the results of the 3 lower divisions.

Itchy · February 04, 2018, 11:08:41 PM

Time for someone in HQ to grow a pair and tell rte to either up their effort or they will look elsewhere. It really is laughable effort at this stage.

GalwayBayBoy · February 04, 2018, 11:09:13 PM

Bizarre how they put up a graphic saying you can see all the results on gaa.ie. How hard would it be to put up the results on screen for 30 seconds?

A token mention of Meath, just cos Moyles was on the show.

Terrible show. Felt like the lads were depressed it was Sunday Night and they should be at home getting ready for work tomorrow.

Thank God for TG4 and Eirsport. RTE showing glimpses of what they would go back to if they had the broadcasting monopoly again. Lacklustre, lazy boring.

BennyCake · February 04, 2018, 11:27:17 PM

I avoided results again today. Missed the show. Hardly mattered by the look of it.

Jinxy · February 04, 2018, 11:50:47 PM

RTE don't have the 6 nations or premiership soccer anymore so why is their GAA coverage so half-assed?
Look at the attendances and general interest there is in the league.
It seems like a no-brainer to me that they would send out a few more cameras.
It would be easier to make the case that all games should be free-to-air if the RTE coverage wasn't so utterly abject.
