UTV & BBC & RTE & TV3

watched utv and bbc tonight to see buildup to the big match this weekend - not a word! As previous poster said if 30 -35000 were attending a local soccer match we would have it every night. Indeed there are 2 other gaa matches with local interest this weekend which will be watched by 10-15000 people which would easily outnumber the total attendances at local soccer games during the season. Personally I dont care anymore if utv show gaa as they have become a bit of a joke station but I do care about bbc not least because I pay for the right to view their output. Im not suggesting a friendly between glentoran and nortel doesnt deserve coverage

, just that a match or matches attracting many thousands of licence payers should also be covered. Comeon BBC lets play fair

I see the Road to Croker has the Bradleys on this week:

Its also available online Worlwide ...

FRIDAY 17 JULY

THE ROAD TO CROKER
Worldwide - 7.00pm

In tonight's programme, The Road to Croker will be hanging out with the Bradley family: Antrim manager Liam, and Derry sharpshooters Paddy and Eoin, ahead of a big weekend for the family. Liam has led Antrim to their first Ulster Final since 1970 on Sunday while his sons will play a key role as Derry look to progress to through the qualifiers.

Also tonight, Munster and Ireland rugby star Tomás O'Leary shows he is still well able to handle a hurl... but then he was a All Ireland winning Minor captain for Cork in 2001 and with a father like Cork's Seánie O'Leary, he didn't lick it off the stones either!

Mayo's run to the All Ireland Final in 1989 is also remembered in tonight's programme as they prepare for another Connacht Final showdown with Galway. And the Punter v Pundit showdown continues with two more wannabe Mystic Megs gazing into their crystal balls for the weekend action

I'll probably watch it so as regards Mayo's All-Ireland final run.

Pat Spillane to Michael Lyster "It's great to be sharing the studio with a Derry man (Tohill) who talks sense for a change"
