Who actually still uses teletext? Is that not a bit of a blast from the past?

I look at sport on Ceefax and Aertel. Never UTV. It's a joke.

then it shutting down wont affect you.

Would use it all the time, as I tend not to spend my life in front of a computer 24/7.
You spend it in front of the TV instead.  :P

I don't spend too much time in front of a computer (compared to some anyway), apart from at work, but just wouldn't think of using teletext over the last few years. Would have used it for TV schedules, but with Virgin Media (and probably all similar services), you can scroll it all on the bottom of your screen.

Big teletext user myself - not that its much good. rte only keep the english soccer scores updated right. bbc have begun to do a decent job with the ulster teams' scores in the national league. utv is a joke of course.

whats the story with logie?

Benny pays a glowing tribute to Logie in todays IN. I wonder was he always as glowing in his tributes ?

Anyway, long story short... is a phrase whose origins are complicated and rambling.

Is Jerome Quinn still working for the BBC? Seen him at the Tyrone championship matches in Pomeroy on Saturday night with a camera man. Never seen any highlights of the Errigal v Donaghmore or Ardboe v Moy games on the news on Monday.

Have to say I thought the BBC coverage of Armagh V Tyrone today was pure dung. Their score keeper mustn't have been watching the game. Giving points that weren't points to teams and giving Armagh a Tyrone point. He merely reflected the disinterest shown by the director who at times was more interested in showing people standing on the sidelines than action from the match. Sidebottom was Sidebottom. If Jarleth is there to give an Armagh perspective then in the interest of balance an ex Tyrone footballer should be there too. Even when he was talking about incidents from the match the director again showed the wrong footage on one occasion. Does anyone else miss Jerome?

Was the match simulcast (i.e. frame for frame, same pictures?) on RTÉ? If so, where does the director come from, RTÉ or the beeb?

The pictures were the same Fionntamhnach but each station had their own graphics such as score up. (The BBC score keeper made a tit of him/herself at the start) Maybe it was RTE who had the control of the pictures but bottom line is that it was amateurish and it wouldn't surprise me if the BBC had control. If you see the pictures have a look at the way they showed Stephen O'Neill's 45 from behind the goals. And while Tommy MCGuigan was missing a free kick we were treated to pictures of the sideline.

Looks like Cavan v Fermanagh won't be live on RTE 2 (21:00), but is live on web-stream. Are BBC NI showing this?

Correct. And it's showing deferred coverage of that game on the Sunday night.

No it's deferred coverage on the Saturday night
