Yet again they won't be showing any live Ulster football, Cross play Kilcoo today in a mouth watering fixture, last time they played there was over 10,000 at the game. Unsurprisingly TG4 has ignored Ulster Gaels again, thanks very much :( sean og (Armagh) - Posts: 1054 - 15/11/2015 10:39:24 1807344 Link 0 |
I may be mistaken but over the last number of weeks I thought I seen a number of games from the ulster region on tg4, a game with a Donegal club involved and another game with slaughneil from Derry recently. I also remember from the last year or two a good number of games shown involving ulster teams or maybe my memory is fading as im getting older.

The Derry county final was shown a few weeks ago likewise with the Scotstown match last week. So I don't think it's Ulster county bias. Only in hurling this county be said. dubshurling7 (Dublin) - Posts: 1017 - 15/11/2015 11:13:46 1807348 Link 0 |
The good people of the Republic are forced year in year out to watch Ulster Championship Football as a result of the BBC's joint coverage. At that time of the year when the conditions are good the 'Ulster' football still tends to be sh!te to watch, 'borefest'. Sean Og tell me which match today would you remove from TG4s schedule in order to show the tag rugby match between the Down and Armagh Champions?

What a miss for the viewers Cross v Kilcoo is a major clash and the winners will have a big say in rest of the competition. Byanthon (Tyrone) - Posts: 1780 - 15/11/2015 11:38:17 1807353 Link 0 |
Do the Ulster Council want TG4 to show games??, as it will affect attendance and the gate takings valley84 (Westmeath) - Posts: 1890 - 15/11/2015 11:38:48 1807354 Link 0 |

Yo be fair to TG4, they do give all provinces a fair crack of the whip, unlike some other "bigger" broadcasters! Monaghan Exile (Monaghan) - Posts: 442 - 15/11/2015 13:13:46 1807372 Link 0 |

could this be down to viewing figure concerns i.e. those with teams from Gaeltacht areas are most likely to attract higher viewing figures hurler in the ditch (Louth) - Posts: 439 - 16/11/2015 10:31:55 1807521 Link 0 |
TG4 do show alot of Connacht club games but then again it is a TV station based in Connemara. yew_tree (Mayo) - Posts: 11248 - 16/11/2015 11:11:05 1807531 Link 0 |
That's just your opinion. Didn't they show the Monaghan county final, I dunno what you are complaining about. Killarney.87 (Tipperary) - Posts: 2513 - 16/11/2015 11:40:37 1807543 Link 0 |
I don't agree sean og, TG4 are to be commended for their coverage and while I agree that Cross v Kilcoo was the pick out fixture at the weekend it should not be based on that. It is the beauty of the club championships that many clubs can get national exposure live on tv and that is the way it should be. Tom1916 (Armagh) - Posts: 2001 - 16/11/2015 11:44:10 1807546 Link 0 |
Cuala v Clara was a good game.Didn't watch Nemo game as had to work but didn't bother to record it either.I would have preferred Na Piarsaigh v Thurles or Kilcoo v Cross. cuederocket (Dublin) - Posts: 5084 - 16/11/2015 11:56:46 1807552 Link 0 |
Officially there was 9,600 but in reality it was closer to 15,000 at the Cross v Kilcoo match, if it was televised live would that crowd have turned up in such great numbers in awful conditions.... cuchulainn35 (Armagh) - Posts: 1676 - 16/11/2015 12:15:25 1807556 Link 0 |
When it comes to club games Id be more a get of your backside and quit moaning like TG4 or RTE or SKY owes you something . . . Damothedub (Dublin) - Posts: 5193 - 16/11/2015 12:19:54 1807558 Link 0 |
Two weeks time you have the Munster football final, Ulster football and Leinster hurling. If they showed Kilcoo and cross yesterday and showed the munster final then in two weeks instead there would be uproar here again. TG4 do a good job at trying to cover all provinces, massive overreaction by some over this tipp11 (Tipperary) - Posts: 353 - 16/11/2015 13:25:52 1807573 Link 0 |
