That's unforgivable, he's not even playing the same sport  :-\

UTV Live just mentioned they are doing a series of features starting tonight on UTV Live Tonight at 10:30 - their bit for GAA125 - will be interesting to see how much coverage they devote.

This is coming up now - about history of Croke Pk - first of 4 reports this week

10mins - if that.

Poor stuff. Bad GAA not allowing Garrison sports on GAA grounds and members of the security forces play GAA.

Tomorrow night, why Unionist community don't like the GAA.

Yep - a load of crap. Concentrating just on the 'political'.

Was suprised to see UTV doing a bit on the gaa anniversary and actually thought it might be ok. Was disgusted though when I watched it last night. The full thing was about gaa links to irish nationalism and rule 21. It was obvious they had no interest in the games. It wont get much better tonight as its about why unionists dont like the gaa. The gaa shouldnt let this crap go unchallenged. There is no balance in there coverage.

It's a history of the GAA through unionist eyes by the looks of it rather than having any balance to it at all.

What do you expect from a pig, but a grunt!

Agreed - that piece last night did nothing to show the GAA in any positive light - the only plus point was they confirmed it's the biggest participant sport on the island.

What stuck in my throat the most, was that they were saying (though not directly) that the British Army attack in Croke Park was the fault of the GAA due to suspicions within Westminister and Unionist Community as to what the GAA was. ie a sporting wing of the IRA (which sadly some people still proclaim it is).

This was a blatant attempt by utv to paint the gaa as a poilitical organisation and nothing to do with celebrating 125 years of one of the last remaining great ametuer organisations in the world. The gaa has done so much in shaping communities across the country but they clearly aren't interested. For an organisation that has no interest in the gaa all year its hardly suprising.
