Couldn't help but notice live TV coverage of the Portadown-Distillery Cup Final yesterday in the same week that the Ulster U-21 trilogy between Tyrone and Down received zero TV coverage. One report says there was a 'bumper crowd' at the soccer game, another says Portadown had 1500 fans. There was more than 3000 at the U-21 game.

Surprised ?

You definitely shouldn't be.

BBC announces championship coverage

The cameras are set to roll on the 2011 GAA Football Championship
06 May 2011


BBC Northern Ireland has revealed its live television schedule for the forthcoming Ulster SFC.

Sunday week's preliminary round clash between Donegal and Antrim will kick-off their live match coverage for the summer. The Ulster SFC quarter-final between Armagh and Down on Saturday, May 28, which will go head-to-head with the Champions League final, will also be shown live, as will the two Ulster semi-finals on June 19 and June 29, and the Ulster final on July 17.



Deferred coverage will be shown of the other three quarter-finals - Derry v Fermanagh on May 22, Tyrone v Monaghan on June 5 and Cavan v Donegal/Antrim on June 12.

All matches involving Ulster counties in the All-Ireland quarter-finals and beyond will also be broadcast live, while BBC Radio Ulster will carry live coverage of all the games in the Ulster SFC.

Credit where credit is due, I have been on this thread several times bemoaning the lack of coverage from BBC, but their championship programme on Saturday night was excellent.  I watched RTE's coverage after the match on Saturday night, and then watched it again on BBC on Sunday, and I have to say that BBC were streets ahead.

That great supporter of Gaelic Games, UTV, have just announced that Down are in the next round of the qualifiers after beating Wicklow :o

BBC Newsline's preview of Tyrone v Armagh led by scenes of a scrap during a 2005 game. Presented by Mark Sidebottom. Absolutely shameful.

Sure as long as they got to keep Darren Clarke as the main headline it will keep them happy. There will be more people at the match tomorrow than any Ulster or NI game in the north this year - yet there games would have lead the sports news all week.

Nostalgia isn't what it used to be.

Extended coverage of down cork game on now despite TV3 showing this live yesterday- you'd think  that logic would dictate that the extended highlights of Tyrone Armagh game should be in this slot. They'll probably show 10 mins max of action on the Sunday game of that game instead and even less of the other two qualifiers

Brolly and Davis going hammer and tongs at it on the Sunday Game now.

Hammer and tongs is right! Was great TV. Joe fairly rankled Tony but what Joe was saying was correct but Tony couldnt take it. Cork havent beaten Kerry in Croke Park in a big game recently and question marks will be with this Cork team until they beat Kerry.

Surprised  that BBC and UTV didn't seem as horrified about the violence between Portadown and Glenavon in Craigavon as they were about Dromore and Creggan. Will Wendy have a special "talkback" to discuss it?

Knowing the history of these two  clubs supporters I would imagine this is UVF/LVF related between them. We will learn more with their nightly updates for the next week or so.You know how the BBC and UTV hate everything to do with soccer. ;D

On UTV at 6.00pm now...

After the break, Armagh give All-Ireland Champions Corka scare in the National League ::).
