Today they decide to show Derry v Tyrone, despite the fact that BBC is going to show it too. Why not show us one of the other games rather than show a game already on elsewhere 890202 (Wexford) - Posts: 1278 - 28/05/2017 14:00:27 1991420 Link

RTE will never get there act together when it comes to GAA coverage they have shown complete contempt for the national league over the years. It's a pity eir sports or TG4 don't have the rights for the championship. jacktheDub (Dublin) - Posts: 944 - 28/05/2017 15:30:48 1991448 Link

Something in deal they signed to show games. So its no reason to have a go at RTE RTE will never get there act together when it comes to GAA coverage they have shown complete contempt for the national league over the years. It's a pity eir sports or TG4 don't have the rights for the championship. JacktheDub (Dublin) - Posts:522 - 28/05/2017 15:30:48RTE dont have to get their act together. They had a monopoly on coverage and while they dont dominate as much as they cant any more they have improved with their coverage and analysis. RTE cant cover everything so will cut back to cover what they can as best they can. It wouldnt be good if eir or tg4 were the main tv broadcasters. ormondbannerman (Clare) - Posts: 13473 - 28/05/2017 15:54:44 1991452 Link

It the same every year. Bbc ni can't show any games live that rte do not show as rte own the TV rights. ros1 (Roscommon) - Posts: 1211 - 28/05/2017 16:00:29 1991459 Link

There must be some form of partnership - paddy bradley was interviewed by rte and then low and behold was sitting in BBC studio as a pundit - also BBC were about 30-1min ahead of rte on coverage.

Best game of the day was London vs Leitrim valley84 (Westmeath) - Posts: 1890 - 28/05/2017 17:35:36 1991503 Link
Replying To valley84: "Best game of the day was London vs Leitrim" no doubt we will see 30 seconds of that game in Ruislip tonight on the sunday game. s goldrick (Cavan) - Posts: 5518 - 28/05/2017 17:55:57 1991516 Link
So it'd be grand if the game wasn't also on BBC? But it wouldn't have been shown on BBC if it wasn't broadcast on RTE. Somehow RTE did something wrong by broadcasting a GAA match? GreenandRed (Mayo) - Posts: 7337 - 28/05/2017 18:01:29 1991519 Link
The highlights program tonight will consist of showing us highlights of the two matches they have already shown and very short clips of the other games. Should be the other way around. I'd much prefer to see extended highlights of the games that weren't televised 890202 (Wexford) - Posts: 1278 - 28/05/2017 18:04:36 1991521 Link

Yep bbc ni get free rights to show the match from rte. In return rte get the pictures from the bbc. ros1 (Roscommon) - Posts: 1211 - 29/05/2017 00:35:00 1991689 Link

No analysis on either game just a chit chat about the biggest county cork. Which is always the lazy way. While the had highlights and analysis of the poor derry match the showed live, which makes no sense. Also if a manager from a stronger county takes over a smaller county the will be said to be doing a good job no matter how poor of a actual job the are doing. ros1 (Roscommon) - Posts: 1211 - 29/05/2017 00:42:26 1991690 Link
what about the camera work at the Westmeath/Offaly game? bennybunny (Cork) - Posts: 3917 - 29/05/2017 08:53:17 1991708 Link
I realise there is a lot of anti sky sentiment out there but leaving the pay per view aspect aside how do ye rate the analysis on sky versus rte???? My opinion Canavan (Jamesie in the hurling) and company are miles a head of RTE. RTE love phrases like "whoever wants it more" "Cork have to tear into them" "they were very flat" where as SKY go a tad deeper with their analysis.

ROS1 100% correct - just a few clips from the 2 Munster games - no real analysis....... it was all about cork but nothing about how Waterford played to a system cuchulainn35 (Armagh) - Posts: 1671 - 29/05/2017 09:25:26 1991720 Link

I suppose a tiny amount of people are watching it so doesn't really matter how good or bad there analysis is ros1 (Roscommon) - Posts: 1211 - 29/05/2017 09:28:09 1991722 Link
