The Sunday Game

[Orchard park]

When did "they" televise smaller Counties?
When were there 32 teams competing for Liam McCarthy?

That was in reference to football. Best keep trying on that comprehension, I know its hard for you thickos from Roscommon but maybe some day ye won't continually make a fool of yourselves on here.

when did 32 counties compete for sam then as opposed to taking part

The full moon must have gone back in its box.....

3 games in the All Ireland hurling championship this weekend. Not one minute shown on TSG. 2 Connacht Senior Football games. I'd say 5 minutes total pictures. All so Gobshite Cahill and co could spend an hour telling us that Dublin will win the football, and Tipp or Galway will probably win the hurling. f**king joke shop.

So long as Des has 'banter' with the boys. God forbid we'd get any proper previews.

Didn't even watch it. Waste of time run by a bunch of bluffers

What is it like being a miserable git the whole time?

is he wrong? I watched it and it was a waste of time, it was brutal and to call it a preview show was very much a stretch

[Rossfan]

Didn't watch it thankfully.
Sounds as if it was as bad as I'd expected.
If only TG4 would bring back Seó Spóirt or a GAA version if it at least.

Rather be miserable than despised as a moron by everyone else on the board.

Great to see it back
But by god Sean Cavanagh is a terrible pundit
Great player one of the best that ever put a pair of boots on
But he is a very very poor pundit

You don't really seem to have much sense of perspective.

RTE used to be pretty good at making promos for the start of the championship.
In recent years they seem to have adopted a template whereby they use boring footage, boring music and some generic voiceover about stuff like 'passion', 'this is who we are', and other such focus group driven b*ll*x.
They really do phone in their GAA coverage.

[Seany]

It's strange that those who criticise the GAA for using other broadcasters (and strangely and coincidentally are on the RTE payroll) never call out RTE for their awful coverage.  No money to bid properly for more GAA games, their League Sunday coverage is a sick joke yet they are covering that royal wedding thing in London.  And not a peep from our otherwise quite vociferous 'commentators' who usually have quite a lot to say about old pensioners not being able to watch GAA due to pesky SKY etc.

Agreed - I hope they don't use him all year - could be a case of two fingers up to Mickey rather than getting the best pundits in. Jordan/McGinley/McGuigan the best pundits of the ex Tyrone players.

Cian Ward is the best football analyst knocking around at the moment but he works better on the radio/podcast where he actually has time to speak.
