The news is always going to report what the majority are interested in, an average joe from we will say Wexford wouldn't care less about a Mayo County final for example, I get the feeling on here that ye think the GAA has a special entitlement to be on the news rebelfan (Cork) - Posts: 70 - 31/10/2016 11:51:05 1930374 Link 3 |

How about an equal entitlement for our own games in our own country, Rebel Fan? And I'd say plenty of "average Joe"s in Wexford have an interest in GAA results outside the county.

I don't see RTE reporting on the Munster senior league soccer finals for example , are they not as entitled to coverage as the County Finals around the country

Plenty of GAA fans would. And they'd be aware of the magnificent exploits of our dualstar Keith Higgins in hurling final replay. Whatever about the football final in Mayo not many neutrals, including GAA fans, would have much interest in the Mayo hurling replay.

No because they are supported by one man and his dog. County Finals in nearly every county get bigger crowds individually than one round of the League of Ireland. Yet RTE show the LOI live. Jesus there was 9 000 as the Dublin Football Semi mid week, and there was only 9 because it holds no more, and yet this you would put on the same level as a Munster Senior league Soccer match? witnof (Dublin) - Posts: 1604 - 31/10/2016 15:49:28 1930422 Link 3 |

RTE already cover soccer extensively in their news bulletins. Perhaps they should cover more Munster Senior League instead of the EPL? Why don't you start up another thread & see how much support you'd garner for that idea?

no neutrals would have an interest in mayo hurling..but provincial club football and provincial hurling and some of the bigger county finals of course there would be significant interest..speaking as someone at the dublin semi finals during the week which had big crowds..there was a huge neutral attendance at them

A fortnight ago Slaughtneill won the Ulster Club Hurling Championship creating history, being the first Derry team to have done so. Neither the British Broadcasting Corporation nor Ulster Television showed one second of the Final. Move forward two weeks and there was coverage on Monday evening's news of two firs round Ulster Club Football matches on the British Broadcasting Corporation. The same happens during the summer in the inter-county scene with No Hurling of any kind on either BBC or UTV but every Gaelic Football match where an Ulster County (including those not in the six counties) is shown in their entirety by the British Broadcasting Corporation. With this biasness within Ulster GAA for Gaelic Football to be the only GAA sport shown on British TV is the Ulster GAA achieved its goal of eradicating Hurling in the nine county Ulster by ensuring no coverage of hurling is shown in Northern Ireland?

This blatant promotion of rugby never ceases. 30 min in to covering St. Patricks Day Parade and rugby has been name checked a number of times. Including in interview with a previous ladies rugby captain. One slight reference to the Club Hurling Finals (not the football) by Des following the Presidents interview. This is becoming beyond parody. Where are our satirists when you need then? Of course yesterdays 6.1 Sport focused on Cheltenham and Rugby with no mention of the All Ireland Club Finals. What else is new? mod (Mayo) - Posts: 859 - 17/03/2017 13:09:29 1967818 Link 1 |

I think they are not so much about rugby as they are about RTE. our so called national?? broadcaster funded by the licence payers, (all of them) and as such, Im sure all reasonable people would agree, should not be the cheerleader for any sectional interest. It is simply an issue of fairness. mod (Mayo) - Posts: 859 - 20/03/2017 21:03:28 1969303 Link 1 |

The news will report what the majority want to hear, i think other then 4 clubs in the finals and a few hardcore GAA fans no one really cared about the club finals TrevorPhillips (Cork) - Posts: 28 - 21/03/2017 00:46:07 1969353 Link 1 |

Really, Trevor? Over 30,000 in attendance & many times more watched the games on TG4 (despite many not understanding the commentary). Another thing to consider, it's not unknown for the media to 'create' interest in certain events. Ever heard of marketing? Or propaganda? How about industry collusion? Or maybe you live in your own utopia where these things don't occur.

to be fair trevor i think all gaa fans would have an interest in the club finals probably even this year more so given the stories involved and there was a good bit of media coverage - cuala from dalkey with the madcap fans!, ballyea with the great tony kelly, slaughtneills wonder season and whether the gooch would get that elusive all ireland medal, for the neutrals twaw hard to figure who to cheer for, in limerick there was massive interest the last two season with na piarsaigh and kilmallock being involved

Or being delighted that Croke Park is less than half full for two great games on a day when the capital is jammed with visitors from near and far. Most of them don't have a clue about these games because the GAA brass have no interest in marketing these games. They'll be quick enough to publicise their Super 8 counties and ignore the so-called lesser counties. A stadium part funded by taxpayers money no less, less than half full when a bit if marketing would fill it more. How many times more watched the club finals on TG4? Surely it has to be the IRFU and media colluded to hype rugby and sure no Irish person would have an interest in watching Ireland beating England in any event including sport. Must be propaganda. Difficult to believe that people might like sports other than GAA, like rugby or even like all sports. Another thing to consider in Utopia.

I think we all agree that the GAA are lacking in their Marketing Department. On media bias we disagree. There are already threads about that. keeper7 (Longford) - Posts: 4088 - 21/03/2017 13:43:26 1969495 Link 3 |
