wouldnt have been hard to show both

No, the BBC are showing the McRory cup final live between St Colmans Newry, and St Patricks Dungannon. 

Rangers v St Brigids is then live on TG4.

wouldnt have been hard to show both

TG4 bought exclusive rights to show these games as with all GAA competitions Broadcasters just can't show a much when they feel like it.

[armaghniac]

Pretty much everyone can pick up TG4 in the North anyway, as they also broadcast from Divis.

Derry GAA star Eoin Bradley admits assaulting referee
GAA player, Eoin Bradley, appeared at Limavady Magistrates Court. A GAA star from Kilrea in County Londonderry has been ordered to pay compensation after he admitted assaulting a referee.

Eoin Bradley, who is 27 and plays for Glenullin, appeared at Limavady Magistrates Court on Wednesday.

Bradley shouldered and punched the referee in the face after a quarter-final championship game on 8 August 2010.

A defence solicitor said Bradley had apologised for his actions.

He said that during the match personal remarks had been made and Bradley also felt that some unfair decisions had been taken.

The solicitor said that Bradley was still "pumped up" when he approached the referee, but the attack did not happen in front of spectators.

He said he accepted that he shouldered him and words were exchanged but he said his client never meant to punch him, but instead to push him in the face.

The injured party attended hospital where redness and slight swelling were detected on his face.

The solicitor said that Bradley had already been punished by the GAA by being banned for six months.

This had cost him the opportunity to play for Ireland under the International Rules series.

The District Judge, Paul Copeland, said when incidents like this came as far as the criminal system it showed how seriously the authorities and the sport were taking them.

"Bradley's actions have brought himself and his sport into disrepute," he said.

Judge Copeland bound Bradley over to be of good behaviour for a period of two years on a surety of £500 and ordered him to pay the referee £500 in compensation.

Is this a first?

Did you see the tr**p in the Irish News crying about a photographer taking his photo? For some reason he then took a photo of the photographer on his phone. Maybe he's planning on pushing him in the face too!

[Gaffer]

Bradley did right.

There are assault cases everyday of the week, alot more serious than in this case.

If they are going to stick his foto in the Irish News then do it for every case then,

He does not deserve to be treated differently to anyone else

There are not assaults of match officials every day of the week by inter county players, these fellas are happy enough to have their photos in the Irish News when they are getting married so when things go belly up you can't really expect privacy.
