The Sunday Game

I think you can understand why I decided not to post The Chair's comments in a previous post.

Reads awful gobshitey to my eyes.

Hence the value of a good manager who sees things and reacts in real time.

Pat Spillane says the black card wasn't really tested in the league because of the lack of physicality in the tackle before immediately saying it should have been trialled in the pre-season competitions like the McKenna cup etc. So Pat, if the league and McKenna cup don't give us realistic test conditions for the black card then what's the point in trialling them in these competitions? An argument devoid of any logic.

For all Eoin Mulligan's flamboyance on and off field he is a terribly wooden analyst. Would have expected him to be more at ease in front of the camera.

It is pain staking to watch. Fair play to him for giving it a go - not as easy as some make it look I'm sure. What would the rate be for doin it?

Tomás O'Sé  is excellent though.

If Mugsy had half a dozen pints in him he'd be much better. lol

on another note i thought the highlights of the down tyrone match were terrible with commentary which was obviously done in a studio after the match and terrible sound quaulity,i would have thought with sky getting involved rte would up there act

Has anyone outside the Island of Ireland been able to view the evening highlights edition of The Sunday Game yet? My understanding of it was that this would be available to view on demand this year (not sure where I read that but thought it was to do with the upcoming GAAGO service). I have not been able to find anything on the rte player or through the 'watch and listen' section of the rte GAA-part of the website.

Nope, I thought so too ringfort and I'm sure I was able to watch it last year. I've tweeted both the Sunday Game and RTE player asking this question but got no reply. It appears it won't be available abroad but I don't understand why.

I take it all back, that was awful muck on Sunday having a discussion about the black card. It's highlights and insightful analysis we want to see, and not allocating the main highlights to a match that was already shown live that afternoon.

Totally agree. I was really looking forward to the highlights of the Antrim Fermanagh game but it was condensed into a couple of minutes with most of the scores not shown. The black card debate was quite interesting but took too long. I also think eoin mulligan is terrible as a pundit. He has worked for bbc in this role for a year or 2 but shows no signs of improvement. If they want a Tyrone perspective on rte they should've gone for enda Mcginley.  He is intelligent, articulate and gives a good insight. Very impressed with Tomas o'se also.

Agree with your comments re Enda, he was impressive last year on BBC. However, I'd be sure, as a fellow Clubman of Harte's, he would not make himself to RTE at the present time.

Des Cahill just said Shakalakaboomboom on Sunday game. Seems to be as part of some sort of dare where he has to say certain words every week. These words are sent in on Twitter.

Is this how RTE are stepping up to the plate in face of Sky showing GAA?

[macdanger2]

Whelan is a good analyst, probably the best rte have
