WTF, why is GSTQ played before a motorbike race?

Indeed. And why is Amhrán na bhFiann played before a football match?

Dunno, but feel free to have a bash at answering  my question and then i'll have a wee go at yours.

Exactly. It's telling that Keyser only found it odd when it was GSTQ, but really it's no more odd than before every football match.
Surely a national anthem is for international events? At any rate, it should be limited to finals, preferably just the AI.

It's telling you what!! Maybe you should have a go at answering the question rather than spouting on about some assumption you're making about my views on a completely different matter. Bang on form for you though.

maybe he should have had the guts to continually and openly challenge his bosses rather than comments on a board (like we all do )

i personally didnt think much of his presentation anyway and thought he came across as arrogant

his pro-tyrone comments would have made you puke at times

I have no idea in either case.

Calm down! I actually agree with you - I don't see why GSTQ, or indeed any anthem, should be played before a motor bike race.

When I said "it's telling" I was referring to how you noted it from an outsider's perspective. There was really no need to be sensitive - I wasn't having a go at all.

Sorry Maguire. Motorbike racing is a tough sport, i'm a bit tired and emotional today.

Anyone know the percentage airtime that gaelic gets on RTE stations?

I suspect its a lot more than on BBC Northern Ireland. Why should that be the case?

Because BBC only really have to cover 6 counties, although they generally cover the whole province.

If you're gonna go down that road, you could look at the amount of TV/radio coverage given to the English Premiership on RTE and TV3/Today FM. Not only on highlights, but on news coverage.

I actually think radio ulster does more GAA on the MW than rte, although I could be wrong.

Quinn claims that his line manager Shane Glynn attempted to rig the judging panel for the 2008 sports personality of the year. Quinn says he did this after an alleged phone call from Jackie Fullofhimself, who wasn't happy at the prospect of a GAA type winning the awrd. Glynn, according to Quinn, wanted himself put on the panel and Margaret O'Hare bumped off it. Yet when Quiinn reorganised the panel, Glynn was on it, while Margaret O'Hare retained her place. The only people bumped off it were the alleged anti GAA types, Fullofhimself and Seaton. The winner of the award was ...er...Peter Cavanagh. So, is Shane Glynn (a) totally incompetent at rigging panels or (b) a line manager without any authority or control over his subordinates? Discuss.

Who?

Wally!

Personally I think Tony McCoy or Wendy bloody Hoover Bag should have won it.

so whats the latest is jer gonna get a few quid? is the BBC gonna start covering gaa games? parity of esteem? will we get a mention before the ladies hockey or after the bog snorkeling? I'm confused

[Maguire01]

The match is on live this Sunday, just like it was on last Sunday, just like they're covering every game in the Ulster Championship.

Are you completely blind??? I appreciate during the year that the GAA doesnt get a great pile of coverage but for Gods sake it shows a live GAA match EVERY week of the Ulster championship!!! This is more than any other sport gets! As members of the GAA we need to stop trying to feel sorry for ourselves and moaning about how badly done we are - its a little bit embarrassing at this stage, especially when people make comments like Lawnseed which is just plain b*llocks!!
