Qualifiers Round 2

[western exile]

No sign of Galway in that poll     Does no one rate them?

[Lazer]

Tyrone Armagh Fermangh and Down prob have lower votes than expected as people in the 6 counties tend to use bbc and not rte website,

Western Exile - Galway are the Connacht champions and aren't in the qualifiers

Why would any Football/Hurling lover use the BBC site ahead of RTE (although BBC are sometimes more accurate with score updates).
Their site has minimal information, Football = Soccer, and Throw-in times are shown in BST (British Summer Time).
The BBC website and Ceefax have loads more NI Soccer coverage than GAA....even in the Summer!!!, and GAA in the other 3 provinces is rarely covered.

BBC is better for Ulster gaelic games coverage than RTE.  They aren't great but better than RTE espeically when it comes to club championships. 

[Oriel Man]

Granted, they are probably better for Ulster Club coverage (Newsline reports, etc), but they are still miles behind RTE in General Gaelic Games Coverage.
They don't give Gaelic games the Air Time/Web Space it deserves given the popularity of the sport.

[amallon]

We know all of that, but there is more chance of BBC having a story on Down football than RTE.

BBC are miles ahead in terms of having scores up to date and having match reports online, and even breaking news, way ahead of RTE. Sometimes all you need is the minimal information (e.g. when you want scores, team announcements and match times). Who cares if it says BST? That's just pedantic - the time is the same!
I also don't care what the proportion of NI Soccer to GAA is as i don't look at the NI Soccer pages.
Yes, GAA in the other provinces isn't covered - most likely due to limited resources and the need to focus those resources on the areas the licence payers are from - to be fair, they don't cut off at the 6 counties and give full coverage to all the Ulster teams. Sure you can dander over to RTE if you need to read about anyone else after that!
