UTV & BBC & RTE & TV3

Have you heard Tony Considine playing "analyst" to Micheál on the hurling commentaries? God help us.

It gets worse...

Have to agree croi. John Maughan of all the lugs. Im sure the great man was well impressed when he was told he had that lad beside him butting in. Had the pleasure of meeting him once upon a time and he is an utter gent, couldn't give enough of his time to anybody who fancies chewing the cud with him. Done a bit of a voice over for a charity gig in our club. Legend

Taken from the hoganstand:

Meath's demolition of Dublin in Sunday's Leinster SFC semi-final attracted more TV viewers than England's World Cup clash with Germany.

TV3 has revealed that 528,000 watched their coverage of Meath's 5-9 to 0-13 victory over their old rivals. By comparison, 400,000 watched Germany's 4-1 rout of England in Bloemfontein on RTE.

Meanwhile, rugby commentator Ryle Nugent has been appointed RTE group head of sport with immediate effect. Nugent succeeds Glen Killane, who was recently appointed managing director of RTE television.

Interesting given the huge hype behind the world cup and the media obsession with it.

Do they share it about the county? Is there a rota for this TV?

It only goes to those districts which have electricity.

No suprise it went to a rugby man. D4 press always lead with Rugby it gets number 1 billing ahead of everything else. Even though Gaelic football is the countries number 1 sport the egg chasers if playing always get the nod.
Sickening, sooner they go back to their mediocrity the better.

And another thing while im on my Rugby rant. One of the best GAA schools in the country St Colmans Newry current Hogan Cup holders  now allow Rugby, in my day they wouldntr even allow hurling.
Wheres the skill in holding a ball running with it or hoping on top of some lad.

What an ignorant comment.

[The Voice Of Reason]

Talking of commentators ... anyone think that Martin Kiely on RTÉ radio is a bit of a legend? He certainly passes the passion test - really enjoy listening to him commentate on matches on the Saturday evening or Sunday morning

Idiotic post.

What's the odds on the BBC and UTV venturing outside of Ulster football in their 'sports' coverage over the next day or two?

[5 Sams]

Its a cert that the carry on today in Croker will be top of the agenda on UTV Live and Newsline tonight

[ExiledGael]

Cert, referee was a Tyrone man though so it's not without real foundation.

[lawnseed]

could be wrong but is your man on bbc radio calling garath swift. garath smith?

[5 Sams]

I stand corrected...UTV didnt even mention it...fair play.  They also showed a few "highlights" of our game last night.
