All Ireland final at 1pm in Portloaise then back up the road to Croke Park for Springstein in the evening. Not a bad Sunday.

Was pointed out that they're obliged to have provincial finals on TV by law. Would many be crying if the Leinster finals in either code weren't live on RTE to enable them to show some more Munster hurling?

Yes, the Leinster final was very good this year.

Denver 3-2 up now after losing the first 2. Will probably go back to back now

Edwards still playing phenomenally for the T-Wolves but that's not enough against this Denver team. KAT and Gobert have been very poor since they went up 2-0. Conley injury didn't help either.

Remarkable comeback from Denver all the same. Hilarious that dropping the first two games coincided with Jokic being named MVP and immediately got used as a suck to beat him with. The guy is always an all time great.

So you're insinuating I'm out burning down hostels?

I don't know, are you? That would be a group that you align yourself with?

"I don't know"? No, you insinuated that. I have never on this board applauded such things. Now, go back to bed.

It is GAA elite's attempts to carve up our national games and privatise and sell off the profitable, prestige games. Our best and most high profile games should be available to all grass roots GAA members via our national broadcaster. Jarlath's efforts to play the man and not the ball in this debate betrays the weakness of his argument.

Only the high profile games, so half the counties would never appear? Is that the GAA you want?

That is some interpretation on what I said! 😆 whatever games are covered should be free to air but they are selling off the profitable high prestige games. Its not that complicated!

It was one game. When the knock out stages and the finals are going this way then you need to complain. Don't forget that, probably, one of the main reasons the hurling would have been on GAA GO would have been because RTE were showing the provincial finals. That is not the case. Sure GAA Go more or less stops at quarter final or before.

Brave lads. If only they were so brave during the troubles we'd have put the Brits out ages ago

Why did you want the Brits out? Why do you want everyone else in?!

did this actually make sense in your head?

From what I've seen there's a real shortage out there rite now. There are fixtures not going ahead because of it.
Poor attendance in Newry, bit of a shame. 

It's a tough job a referee with little support. I take to my hat off to the folks who do it as I would not be up for it.
