Listened to RTE's podcast there how can they get it so wrong? The whole point of a podcast is the fact you aren't as inhibited with time as you would be on the radio or TV yet RTE have 35 mins devoted to a full weekend of 16 games and only talked about 4 of them!!

Surely they have to decouple football from Hurling so they can spend more time talking about games. There are enough podcasts out there that they should see what is good content and realise their own is dross!!

Typical RTÉ!

Derry got a lot of exposure on previous podcasts. Ireland has 32 counties.

That clown McCluskey from Fermanagh predicted wins for Fermanagh & Cavan at the weekend.... just the combined 39 points defeat....

And don't get me started on Staunton on TSG... Her playing career is unbelievable, but has the personality & voice that would put it on mute.

In fairness no one saw there being a whole pile between Fermanagh and Louth with Louth probably slight favourites. Didn't see anyone in the media predict Cavan to beat us but consensus was Armagh by 4/5 points not the total hammering thag it was.

From Stephen O'Meara (The Square D)

There was potentially the beginnings of a seismic shift in the landscape of inter-county football on the weekend.

A completely different style of game by David Clifford resulted in previously unparalleled stats by him . Five points from play and two assists with only one wide!

(unparalleled of the games I've logged, and excluding where teams have defended man-on-man)

These are stats more normal for Con O'Callaghan than Clifford who's scores are, on average, more counter-balanced with high numbers of missed shots and turnovers. If this becomes his new norm, the balance of Gaelic football is about to change!

[Rossfan]

Maybe it's just that we have a poor defence?

A touch hyperbolic... it's one game. Also 5 points is about normal for him surely.

[Armagh18]

5 points be a quiet day for Clifford I'd have thought.

[tonto1888]

probably talking about his conversion rate?

[Mario]

O'Meara often touches on Clifford's conversion rate which is very up and down compared to other top forwards but he is careful not to criticise him too much.

Only a 1 match ban for Cathal Heneghan, FFS

[Rossfan]

The lynch mob will be disappointed.

[twohands!!!]

Only a 1 match ban for Cathal Heneghan, FFS

Any truth in the rumour that his appeal has been pre-approved to save everyone the bother?

Yet more jokeshop stuff from the powers-that-be as regards foul play.

[weareros]

He still got a ban. There's intentional stamps from the more illustrious counties that went unpunished nor had the same kind of media pile on. Perhaps a few more retroactive bans are in order.

[Rossfan]

Same oul story...hit the small Counties.

[tonto1888]

did he deserve a ban or not

[Rossfan]

GAA say they couldn't prove it was deliberate so why any ban then?
