I do see that it was all Glentoran fans fault, Linfield fans behaved impeccably  ::)

BBC NI headline...

"Hurling stick gang steal car"

Maybe it's just me but not sure why they have highlighted the fact that there's a hurling stick involved. I'd have thought the main story was the car theft.

It's a five-word headline which fairly accurately reflects the story. If the gang had used a gun, would the report have represented discrimination against country sports ? Let's not leave ourselves open to parody here.

I agree, i doubt they would have a headline saying " Hockey stick gang steal car"

I initially thought it was strange but then you do always see headlines about baseball bat wielding thugs. Maybe they should report these stories as involving "a wooden sporting bat".

Have to say well done to the BBC for live scores on their website throughout the match tonight.













The Magners League that is. Come on Ulster!

And live commentary too; http://news.bbc.co.uk/player/sol/newsid_4700000/newsid_4706600/4706616.stm?bw=bb&mp=wm&news=1&ms3=6&ms_javascript=true&bbcws=2

Thank heavens for Jim Neilly.

There was some coverage of the Fermanagh V Derry game  on one of them.

BBC ran with the kyle coney story, no mention of the mckenna cup

Didn't see UTV but heard that they had coverage of derry fermanagh.  Dunno what else, if anything, they showed/mentioned.

UTV did a bit. BBC mentioned Coney but Watson couldn't bring himself to mention the McKenna cup. Heaps about the rugby and some 17/19 year old runner from ENGLAND ::)

Anyone else notice that Darren Gibson (Man Utd goalscorer at the weekend) was from Londonderry on one channel and Derry on the other?  Can't mind which was which.
