Yeah, it's broadcast in Gallego, the regional language in Galicia.

They will also broadcast the second semi-final and final for football live this year.

I'd highly advise visiting Galicia if anyone gets the chance, beautiful part of the world and very hospitable people there (might be good to bring the phrase book though, not so many people speak English as far as I could tell). The seafood is also the best I've ever tasted.

Nearest I have found is this video below, which is more of an analysis of the game.

Replying To timmyhogan:  "From what I heard the fans of the smaller La Liga clubs were unanimous.
Upon watching the ref stop the game in the first half when a Dub went down with cramp/leg injury & then wave play on when McL went down unconscious from a head high hit - the reaction was : Ah so it's just like playing against Real Madrid here.

But you couldn't trust those Spaniards - they don't have the wise men from RTE to tell them what really happened during the live broadcast, they had to use their own eyes."
Will you change the bloody record at this stage. It's getting really tedious.

Will Limerick be subjected to the same "split them in two" jibes that the Dubs have had to put up with for the last 6 years or so?

The fans of the smaller La Liga clubs watching and All Ireland semi final.

LOL. Will ye go away out of that. Spoofing.

I think the reason that discussion continues over the John Small incident is that the GAA never yet dealt with a very serious incident where a man was badly injured. The anger could logically be more directed at the GAA CCC or whatever than the player involved at this stage.
No doubt GAA referees have networks albeit like all of us restricted to zoom meetings. Do posters think that the referee body should brief referees on what players to look out for . We all know the players who are cynical ,disregard the safety of others, regularly take cheap shots and reckless lunges. I think track record is relevant.

In the past such players would be known and dealt with by other players. An irony of the cards that came in is that they protect such individuals. For example if a mayo player retaliated on John Small he would have been sent off.

It's one thing to miss a foul but if a referee cannot identify when a player is seriously injured then that is bordering on unforgivable.

To make matters worse all inter-county referees were specifically instructed to watch out for for this type of illegal charge where contact is made with an opponents head.

Also as part of the same instruction was that:

(1) Players take responsibility for their behaviour.
(2) Ball must be the primary focus.
(3) Players are responsible for the contact they make.
(4) Player must have an awareness and duty of care towards their opponent.
(5) Player playing the ball will be protected.

Had Dublin scored a goal as a result of the play not being stopped and Dublin went on to win the game then it would have been yet another Dublin victory directly as a result of poor officiating, with ----.

Whoosh!

Jaysis, you must find Dustin & those meerkats very confusing.
Don't take everything you read seriously - or hear on the telly either. Sarcastis jokes, talking animals or split Dublin in 2 included.

No.

It's sport, they're referees, not Interpol. A player can mend his ways if he's given a chance.

Ah Hermit you're not still blaming referees for Dublin's 6 in a row are ye? LOL. Yes I forgot, Kevin Mac dived for Clucko's last minute free in 2011. Kerry men and their excuses. Ha.

He'll be happy (well...as happy as he can get) this year when Kerry do a 1-in-a-row but we'll be back next year to dethrone them, at the semi-final stage...
