The man who sold the world
Smells like teen spirit
Sunbeam

2 covers? Covers should be banned IMO!

Rape Me
Lounge Act
SLTS

What's wrong with covers?  Majority of Elvis Presley songs was covers.


My three would be

Lithium
Smells Like Teen Spirit
Come As You Are (including the haunting lyric "I don't have a gun")

There is a great deal of shite on discussed on this matter. Some guy was on the radio there, likely a politician, saying that "Sky had been better as most people have Satellite TV", which is completely untrue, while in reality far more people have broadband. He then said that it should be on RTÉ and advertisers would bid for slots, but RTÉ hasn't much money to give to the GAA and there are people who are not paying their TV licence ranting about games not being on TV.
There is a loss of visibility to the GAA in not having this game on TV, and that too has its price, but there has to accurate discussion of the situation, not fantasy. For one thing, RTÉ is supposed to serve everyone and this aim might not be compatible with having 20 hours of GAA each weekend. Virgin Media does nothing, which it would if advertisers really were interested.

RTE doesn't have enough channels to show it all. I don't even know about the visibility angle either - outside of GAA GO there were two provincial football finals and two AI U20 football semi finals on.

They can't not show a provincial football final so the hurling likely had to go on account of that and other games being chosen.

I do think we're straying into the unrealistic expectation territory with how many games people think they should have access to. There's too many on and there will be some casualties.

This weekend, HQ has to rush these competitions off as quickly as possible.

Wouldn't mind seeing some changes, definitely think Nugent and Duffy should in from the start and Oisin O'Neill should see far more game time. Grugan, Murnin, Forker etc played most of the league and have plenty of miles in the legs. Would definitely start Rian though as he didn't play much in the league and could do with more football.

Not taking them lightly but you'd rest near half your team including some of your main players? Interesting..

No, you are starting your subs, not as much of a change as you might think.

I'd like to see a number of new faces start against Westmeath, and give others a break. Not taking Westmeath lightly, but we should still have enough to win whilst resting players for remaining matches.

So rest Andy Murnin, Rian O'Neill, Ryan Grugan, Aidan Forker, Aaron McKay and Stefan Campbell,

Start Jason Duffy, Tiaran Kelly, Aidan Nugent, Shane McPartlan, Connaire Mackin, Jarley Og Burns and Barry McCambridge (Well, start 6 out of those 7).
