Why did Offaly change their jerseys at half time today?

Paul rouse wanted to make a historical statement to add to the shite he has spouted for the last month.....

Did he steal your girlfriend at college or something ??
He sounded fairly passionate in the interview. Gotta love a bit of passion

In fairness it's a pile of shite. So they now expect people to sit around all Sunday afternoon to catch whatever crumb of highlight they may or may not show after Brolly and Co finish 'analysis' of latest Dublin walkover. Pot luck at what time theyll squeeze it in. Im assuming they put it on in direct opposition to the 6 News? Great idea that. If this is their new format, what's the point in the evening package? Just a rerun of the games that were shown live? Bullshit.

The whole thing is so lazy and poorly thought out.
The sooner tv3 or tg4 get the rights to the football and put some effort into it the better.

The sunday game live, Munster hurling final, Marty had to wait about 17 minutes before delivering his classic line
"listen to the banner roar!!!"
after a Clare goal.

They also said they could only show so many games hence why Tyrone & Monaghan couldn't be covered, their making it up as they go along as usual.

It's true that they can only show a certain number of games. The glut of games now is the reason why so few provincial games were covered.

In their initial schedule they stated they'd be showing either the hurling quarter finals or 2 of the super 8 games so surprised to see their showing all 4 games.

For once I'm not going to blame RTE for something here. The scheduling this year is as bad as I can remember for any sporting event in history. That goes from the preseason stuff to the league, the colleges, the minors & U21 right through to the championship. The need for a proper calendar to be done is plain and obvious for everyone apart from the people who's job it is to do it.

Rossfan · July 09, 2018, 04:46:41 PM

Everyone clamoured for a tightening of the Inter County seasoname and earlier AI Finals to make more room for Club fixtures.
The CPA wanted a County free April.
We then voted for a revised football Championship with 8 extra games over 2 extra weekends.
Then the hurley folks wanted more games in their Championships so they got 13 or 14 extra games.

So sin é.

SKY needs to be kicked into touch.

Yep!
This is exactly what we asked for, but we'll complain about it anyway. Typical GAA!

And seemingly some oddballs think it's all Sky's fault!
