Johnny Magee has branded RTE's coverage (or lack thereof) of Sunday's Wicklow-Meath Leinster SFC quarter-final as "a disgrace".

The flagship The Sunday Game highlights show afforded the 36-score thriller in Navan just two minutes of broadcast time and former Dublin midfielder Magee was fuming. He told The Irish News:

"It's a disgrace as far as I'm converned. They showed the live games which were Donegal-Armagh, Galway and Mayo and the coverage should be longer for teams that weren't shown live. We got two minutes.

"My lads have been working their backsides off for the last five months and they get two minutes from the national broadcaster? You're trying to promote the game within the county and they throw that out there.

"They don't even cover Division Three and Four on the League Sunday programme. How about equality for all counties?

"We need resources and resources come from exposure in the national papers and broadcasters. How are you meant to go and entice a sponsor when you're getting nothing. At least Dublin or Donegal can go and say 'we'll get three or four live games this year and we'll be on the back of all the papers'."
