Magpie Seanie - the reason they can show 7 game live is because of the weather and fixtures mess - the games that were cancelled, they would have still retained the rights to broadcast on a refixed date, and they simply shunted their expenditure to the next week. The real bravery is giving over so much of the schedule to it and fair dues to them for doing it.


It's hardly all that brave of TG4 given their GAA coverage is consistently the most popular thing they broadcast.

I'd say most people don't really care that the schedule has yet to be finalised. Of all the sticks we have to beat RTÉ with this is the smallest. I'm sure most of the matches we give a shite about watching will be televised. Will all the Ulster championship matches he available on bbc ni once again?

Some people will care when they find out their county games isn't being broadcast; not enough to actually go to the game mind but enough to complain.

I think the BBC NI TV contract runs for the same period as the other GAA TV contracts.

I wonder will any of the other TV stations manage to match TG4's revolutionary picture-in-picture for kickouts. Knowing BBC NI they would probably use it to show 2 different crowd shots at the same time.

Also I wouldn't bet against some manager giving out about the qualifiers being "disrespected" by the television companies at some stage this summer.

Jesus if thats true it's the saddest indictment of modern society yet.

People are annoyed enough to complain but not annoyed enough to do anything about it.

Sounds like the Sinn Fein approach to politics.

A real gear grinder. So that's both Sly Sports (who are dropping most of their exclusive qualifier games in pref of super 8) and RTE going gung-ho with the Super 8 games. And it's only the start of things to come !

No doubt with the subtle approval of those who matter in HQ.

An inevitable consequence of the super 8's.

I wonder how much publicity the B Championship would get if this is how provincial championships will now be treated.
