Quote from: AustinPowers on July 23, 2026, 10:45:05 AMThe celebs thing is awful. They've been doing that every  semi and final this last couple  of years.  They're trying too hard to play  it up  for the Brits , even niblock is sickening in  that regard. Just do it as you would for an Irish audience.  If  a few Brits happen to like it, great. If not, f**k em

This!! Its pandering to a Brit audience whilst forgetting about your core viewers.

If yis want BBC covering Gaelic Games, it's a small price to pay.

Yeah you're probably right. Having Niall Quinn, Neil Delamare, and Vittorio Angelone probably really added to the occasion for the British audience.

BBC NI have to persuade someone in London that this should be carried over the water, which probably means that it does not come out of their sports budget. A "take it or leave it" attitude will not do that.

Sarah Mulkeen would be a help though, and someone used to presenting to English audiences.

If the hurling doesn't sell itself , I hardly think a  couple of  comedians at HT for 30 seconds  will keep them watching.

They could have  women mud  wrestling at HT in the rugby , but  you still wouldn't get  me watching it

I expect that the BBC know as much about their audience as people posting on GAABoard.

Fair enough. You could well be right that they've worked out the viewing audience at home wants Neil Delamare and Vittorio Angelone so I hold my hands up there.

Not every tragedy needs the Tommy Niblock personal branding attached to it, its odious at this stage

Yeah funny a friend said the same thing to me yesterday

imtommygunn

What's he done here? I haven't watched the news but only see 2 retweets from him.

You would expect him all over the McConville one because he (appears to be anyway) is good friends with Oisin.

The GAA Social's Wednesday episodes seem to be primarily about people dealing wtih sickness/addiction/tragedy, with the occasional brief tokenistic reference to football/hurling shoehorned in. Don't get me wrong, they can be interesting, but it really is shameless at this stage. The podcast equivalent of ambulance chasing.

He seems to have zero self awareness in general, maybe that's part of being on that media/BBC bubble.
