[they don't fuckin run Gaelic Football into the ground and say it's shite at every opportunity.]

I had hopes that GAAGo might encourage/force RTE to up its game.

However given the fact that GAAgo is essentially run by RTE, it's clear that there's little to no chance of this happening.

I think the GAA have given RTE far too much leeway over the years and basically put up with whatever RTE was willing to do. The RTE sports department gets way more out of the GAA that what the GAA get out of RTE. 

Across the board it's a lot of the same people who are hired in to actually run the shows. But I would argue that GAAGo with Grainne, Paddy and Tomás and Des Curran on comms is a better product and they don't fuckin run Gaelic Football into the ground and say it's shite at every opportunity.

RTÉ own the rights to so much sport but now they are skint and can't really staff it properly and do it justice. People were up in arms over Sky, but that was a good show they put on.

Precisely.

They are aware their own personal benefits together with that of the whole GAA, lies in positive promotion not negative commentary.
Can you imagine any other presenter of any programme tell their audience that their show is substandard and disappointing.
How long would they keep their job.

This story is really like the one about the Stardust

Certainly a tragedy with an attempted coverup, but collusion in the North went much further than that.

British State forces actively provided Loyalists with the intel, support and equipment to carry these murders out and then did everything to prevent a proper investigation then and indeed ever since.

They also allowed stakeknife (as their agent) to torture and kill plenty, crazy place and how that system was continually allowed to operate was unbelievable

If someone made a film about it, it would go straight into the fiction department

Shinners just as motivated as the British Government to make sure the full truth about Stakeknife never sees the light of day.

Wise up.
State murder, terrorism and collusion is on the British state and only the British state.
Up the yard with you and your both sidisms.
They got away with it for 80 years because of People like you who refused to place blame where it was due.

For all the blather about "Michelle and Emma" and a bright future for NI, it's 2024 and the British are still trying to suppress the truth.  25 people involved in this murder, most of whom were loyalist touts, RUC and UDR members.

Excellent programme that showed the devastation visited on families during the Troubles.

And one active member of the RIR allegedly..

Is your man Swinger Fulton still alive?

He "hung himself" in prison

It always seems to be the one with the most to tell commit "suicide" .

Does make you wonder.

Like David Kelly and Epstein.

Don't forget Tyrone  or Cavan

Usually a 101 Tyrone posters around here, not saying much about Saturdays  game, lying in the long grass or what!

Like I said Beware Tyrone.
They are keeping their powder dry.

Beware Tyrone.

Ok fair enough. Though I agree with him bout Harte... Tally as bad going to Kerry. Is why Cody didn't shake hands with Shefflin, trying to plot the downfall of his own county...

What do you agree with him about re Harte?

That there are enough good Derry men with that tradition without lining Hartes pockets... a cartel of managers doing the rounds... sure you know what he said.

Which Derry manager/s do you have in mind?

That's for Derry to sort out, great GAA county it is... can't find a manager 🤷 plenty doing the rounds

But you can't name one.
 

Barry Dillon.. Conleith Gilligan... Johnny McBride

[Link to the survey here]

Jim Gavins Gaelic Football review committee has released the survey to start their project. It's open to the public

Link to the survey here

Not sure how I feel about the survey, but I suppose with Jim Gavin behind the wheel, it's nearly guaranteed to produce box-office results.

Make long-range points worth 2 points? 

I thought the usual complaint of the doomsayers  was that Gaelic was too much like Basketball?

Was the system broken by the tactics of the Teens?
I do find it Ironic that the man who contributed most to lateral football is commissioned with ridding us of  it.

Club Tyrone annual members' night next Thursday 18th at Garvaghey.

We have a good panel lined up for a chat, including a Derry man!

I haven't been invited.

It seemed to me like W'Meath did not respect their opposition.

I imagine the mental side of that is tougher than the physical.

Depends,

Is the physical self inflicted?

At this stage I think we should get Donald Duck to manage Meath. Colm so out of his depth it is unreal. No disrespect to Longford but to concede 3.12 is an absolute disgrace Dublin could inflict the biggest ever defeat on Meath. With the return of Jordan Morris and the best player not on Meath team last few years James Conlon we looked better upfront. But we are so so bad defensively it is unreal. I fear what will happen next weekend but worse still I fear what will happen to Meath going forward if we don't change management at end of championship.

Why should Meath be arsed about taking the Leinster football championship seriously? They can't win it and they need to focus on the Round Robin. Why should fans pay to see matches in the Dublin side of the Leinster championship ?  Nobody who voted for the system at Congress did much forward thinking.

So if they are resigned to losing leinster, where are they going to get the belief / hope of winning Sam
