Was watching the BBC News at lunchtime today. Sarah Travers said that All-Ireland Champions Tyrone won their first game of 2009 against Monaghan on Sunday....

Really? First game you say.

Maybe she means we're going to bate Monaghan a rake of times this year!

To be fair to the BBC, the coverage of the McKenna Cup has been fine. Showed a couple of scores from the Tyrone game and interviewed Harte, SoN and Monaghan trainer/coach, Marty whatshisname. Don't think we can ask for more in mid Jan.

Have to agree with that. Jerome has been fairly active this past week. However spot the McKenna Cup final preview on this page:

FFS! How incompetent, lazy or both can you get?

Wexford 2-9 3-12 Armagh

Ryan Henderson scored three goals as Armagh staged a revival to beat Wexford by 10 points in Sunday's Allianz Division Two opener.

Two early goals had Armagh in command but Wexford battled back to enjoy a 2-8 to 2-3 interval advantage.

Armagh suffered a blow when forward Ronan Clarke was yellow-carded and had to be replaced under the new rules.

But the Ulster side, beaten by Wexford in the All-Ireland quarter-finals last August, pulled away for a big win.

Caught some weekly sports round up thing there on RTE - think its aimed at young people. They discussed both the rugby this Sunday and Ireland match tonight and world cup fever etc. There was no mention of the gaa. RTE only pay lip service to gaa for most of the year and seem to spend a lot of time building up other sports. This was highlighted when they announced at the sports awards that Munster NZ got the biggest viewing figures of the year even though in reality it was the all ireland finals.

I also think that the gaa needs to promote its games better. A repeat of the All Ireland football final is taking place on Sunday in Omagh. There's also loads of other top matches in both football and hurling this weekend. More effort should be made to make the general public aware of these games and make them appealing to them. I actually think the whole season needs to be redesigned. Does it make sense that the majority of games played by counties during the year are seen as meaningless by many fans?
