RTE Sport looking for GAA program suggestions

[Hardy]

And no Brush Shiels or Saw Doctors. No yokel-baiting. No formulaic interviews with players on the Friday before the match, sitting on the bridge below the town and "I suppose"-ing at everything. No Babs. No think-ankled, double-chinned girls  - sorry, "ladies". No Paul Galvin as a token "cool" GAA person. No moronic banners - "Ballymuck Inn Boys On Tour". No tweeness. No painted cars, sheep or donkeys. No green hats with red beards attached or jester's bells. No Marty. Please, please, please no Marty.

+ 1 and I would add no Kevin McStay, Tommy Lyons and to a lesser extend Martin Carney and Brian Carthy too

Goes without saying. (Except for the "lesser extent" bit.)

Yea perhaps I should have qualified the "lesser extend" part by saying I absolutely can't stand McStay and Lyons while Carney and Carthy only get on my fecking nerves...

They don't have to look far.

Seo Spoirt on TG4 is a great format and makes you wish you could understand Irish better.

There is a wheel.

Aye it's a great one.  Dara O'C is a great anchor and should be used more often on the Sunday Game.

Would I be right in saying that Seo Spoirt has a repeat with subtitles on later in the weekend?

Seo Spoirt is good alright but maybe a bit too Galway/Kerry dominated for most tastes. Although in fairness they cover everything but the panel is always full of Kerry and Galway men whenever I tune in. With the odd interloper thrown in.

Tis the nature of it with Gaelteacht areas where they are...

Just a question is Sean Ban Breathnacha bit of a dose - my understanding of the Irish language restricts me from making a call on this on

Also on a side note, the reporter Gemma Ní something-or-other is quite hot

[Denn Forever]

Isn't Hector from the Gaeltacht in Meath?  Can't think of anyone from Dún na Gall.


It is repeated on Saturday mornings.  Don't remember if has subtitles though.

[muppet]

Just bring back Breaking Ball.
No new crap.
No 'appealing to the ABC1 demographic.'
No focus groups.
Just bring it back.
I dunno why ye ever got rid of it to begin with! 

They have all been downgraded.

What about having a competition that would suit individual counties like say Derry or Armagh.  The prize for the winner could be to meet Canavan or the like. 

[ardal]

stick two opposing supporters in a room, get their predictions and why, get them to give the commentaries for the game, get M O'H to give his appraisal.

It'd be  a cross between "winning streak", to choose the 2 fans
Stars in their eyes; best commentary
and then Dragons den, M O´H only allows one to continue each week.

I've patented this.

[AZOffaly]

Who is M'O H? I hope it's not Micheal O'Hehir, because his verdict would be hard to hear.

[Orangemac]

I think any show should be hosted by the Newstalk 'Off the ball' crew, knowledgeable but don't take themselves seriously.

+1. Good bit of craic and know their stuff too. Could even introduce Murph's country pages to a national audience.Magazine show with these boys and access to footage and you couldn't go far wrong.

Breaking Ball was a good show the way it put music to footage etc but as far as I can remeber there was no presenter.Plus they showed it at around 7pm on a Frioday which is crap time. I think Sunday morning would be a good time as part of the build up to games

"Very much so"

[stephenite]

I seem to recall Breaking Ball being repeated on Sunday mornings?
