Replying To supersub15:  "If RTE is still in crisis then surely the likes of the Sunday Game and other shows are in crisis as well. The problem with the Sunday Game is the best people are not in control of the show

Back to the Sunday Game, there's an old saying, "if it's not broke, don't fix it." When Michael Lyster was presenting the show, it wasn't broke, yet they tried to fix it, hence we are where we are today."
It was a far better show, it was actually worth watching.

It certainly was, I haven't watched the Sunday game in about 15 months.
By the way that wasn't my full post the best bit was edited out.

They didn't show Galway and roscommon till the end last night and only for a couple of minutes. They didn't show Galway highlights at all the week before. It shocking how poor the coverage is

Football supporters having to sit through 40 minutes of hurling highlights is wrong. Football highlights should be first when the football league is linked to championship.

I could only endure 10 minutes of that Dublin Kerry game, to say that it was boring would be an understatement.

They should take turns. Fair is fair.
And the Football League shouldn't be linked to the Championship anyway. Its a great standalone competition as it is, probably better for all the counties taken as a whole than the Championship.

They need to do something. Waiting up til half 11 to get only 5 minutes of coverage of Galway v roscommon from Saturday night is crazy. Why don't they show highlights on a Saturday night or Sunday morning?? Tommy Tiernan isn't that popular
