TV3 would sicken you with all the ads though.

What is RTE's fasination with showing Pillar Caffrey every time he's working at Croke Park?

100% agree with the amount of TV3 adverts, ridiculous.

BBC, while they do plenty wrong, should be given credit where credit is due. It was them and not RTE who showed yesterdays game live. It wasn't their fault that it was a poor game. 

Something that I have noticed in all their live games though, is the camera work, it is pure atrocious. Showing replays when they should be with the live play, showing close ins when they should be panned out and just showing the completely wrong angle! One thing that you can't fault RTE for is their camera work, it is top notch

[Archie Mitchell]

The camera work all depends on the stadium. If you have a big stadium like Croke Park, they have plenty of cameras from different angles. With a smaller ground, its not always feasible to have camera's at the right position/angle to cover the game like they can at Croke Park.

RTE & TG4 have never had problems covering Clones & Befni before!! This still doesn't excuse the producers showing replays when they should be showing live action or just pure and simple bad camera work!

Watched the Cavan Fermanagh game this morning, what was that weird sideline camera all about?
Gave a really warped view on the game and they kept using it.
Was also impressed with TV3 today.

That sideline camera should really only be used behind the goals. It was a disaster yesterday and the cameraman had real trouble keeping up with the game.

He got it from the board

Just a word on the commentators....I think RTE should get Mike Finnerty from TV3 to replace the 'past-it' Ger Canning..better commentator and far more knowledgeable...

[Sandy Hill]

I thought that Darragh Maloney (sp?) did a sound job commentating on the Dublin v Meath game but I could've done without Martin Carney! Does he never lighten up-commentating sounds like a chore to him!

Not sure who decides those replays, because during the Keyy v Cork game there were also a large number or replays being shown during game time. Missed a lot because of it.
And this was on TV3. (If this is the game you mean then apologies)

Lads, any of use know why TV3 isn't on Sky up here in the north?

True and the whole analysis between the ads feels very rushed. Maybe drop out a question Matt & relax the quick fire questioning... Very good otherwise...
