UTV & BBC & RTE & TV3

[behind the wire]

That sideline camera should really only be used behind the goals. It was a disaster yesterday and the cameraman had real trouble keeping up with the game.

hes used to the lighning pace of the irish league.

another classic from sidebottom this week.. "whats the similarity between a pregnant cow and monaghan? ...the are both close to cavan"

He got it from the board

Just a word on the commentators....I think RTE should get Mike Finnerty from TV3 to replace the 'past-it' Ger Canning..better commentator and far more knowledgeable...

[Sandy Hill]

I thought that Darragh Maloney (sp?) did a sound job commentating on the Dublin v Meath game but I could've done without Martin Carney! Does he never lighten up-commentating sounds like a chore to him!

[Doohicky]

The camera work all depends on the stadium. If you have a big stadium like Croke Park, they have plenty of cameras from different angles. With a smaller ground, its not always feasible to have camera's at the right position/angle to cover the game like they can at Croke Park.

RTE & TG4 have never had problems covering Clones & Befni before!! This still doesn't excuse the producers showing replays when they should be showing live action or just pure and simple bad camera work!

Not sure who decides those replays, because during the Keyy v Cork game there were also a large number or replays being shown during game time. Missed a lot because of it.
And this was on TV3. (If this is the game you mean then apologies)

Lads, any of use know why TV3 isn't on Sky up here in the north? 

[Croí na hÉireann]

TV3 would sicken you with all the ads though.

True and the whole analysis between the ads feels very rushed. Maybe drop out a question Matt & relax the quick fire questioning... Very good otherwise...

To do with television rights with UTV and Granada, which owns a large percentage of shares in TV3.

No GAA on BBC or UTV news this evening. Maybe Antrim phoned them up and asked them not to.

And ourselves.
A complete joke all the same.

I was think that maybe your game was covered on Sunday bulletins(?)
Either way, poor showing.

No - He got it from me cos I have the cheesiest lines in the BBC Sport office!!

[Maguire01]

Is there anyway to get TV3 in Belfast? VirginMedia?
Or alternatively, any bars that would show the Cork/Kerry game next Saturday?
