Replying To hill16no1man: s .the number of non nationals and people born in the other 31 counties living in dublin probably make up half the population if not more than that i would hazard a guess."
so Of the 1.3million odd people living in dublin around 650k of them are non dubliners - would have thought it less than that,

also bear in imnd huge numbers of dubliners living in bordering counties - 28 is still and excellent crowd but its akin to what other top football counties get -- mayo with a population of 130k got 10k for their home game with monaghan - probably with greater travel distance too

look at the sheer lengths you are going to to defend bias over and over..it isnt acceptable..unfortunately i am in the uk for the weekend so was unable to attend the tyrone game, im most certainly not a vincents man!

if limerick were playing tipp and tyrone in gaelic grounds double header i know where i would be - at the game not in the uk, if i had to be in the uk i would either watch the games somewhere , get them on radio , or follow them on twitter i certainly would not be posting here about rugby during the game , id be taking more interest in my team

i had to be in the uk, you speak as if i wasnt able to actively follow the game?...stop trying to deflect from the issue...we got away with it big time and showed great character to comeback although sludden looks like a real player...160k is not good viewership on primetime on rte on a friday night...in what world is that a good number?

at 1733 on saturday your team dublin were playing tipperary - yet you were more interested in posting on this site the when the game was on - at 1433 on sunday limerick were playing westmeath in division 4 football - i was there and at that time i had no interest in posting ,yes given the way it went i could have done with the distraction --- - i was was more interested in following my team ---- you are giving out about media bias towards rugby yet when your team are playing you are more interested in posting on this site than following your team against the all ireland champions

I dont believe for one second rte is biased towards rugby over gaa as rte shows a lot more ;live gaa than rugby plus the various programmes of which no rugby equivalent is shown e.g. toughest trade the geansai marty squad, champiionship draw all stars, sunday game thank gaa its friday up for the match - have increased radio coverage this year

rte dont show world cup, 20s world cup, pro12, champions cup , and from nexxt year next year rte wont have the six nations they only have autumn games up to this year so thats now up for grab , if they are so biased how come they dont show these games, and dont give me this "oh they were outbid nonsense" they only have to outbid tg4 for pro12 and champions cup, i bet next year with little or no rugby being shown there will still be posters whinging about coverage and the like of tomsmith telling us that all rugby fans eat parsley or whatever ( i grow my own and am proud of it grrrrr!!!)

the arguement that "oh rte hate gaa and love rugby coz they show the under20s" has been blown away - s4c, fr4 and sky show 20s as well - i suppose they are anti gaa as well

and i dont know whether of not 160k on a friday is a good number relative to whats normally watched on a friday night -maybe you might tell us whats the normal -and i wasnt one of the 160k watching the game - i was at a club game that night with 2000 others (sure oooh the club game is dead !!!!!) - watched it during the week on the recorder

what i do love about this thread is that it give me a vehicle, a sanctuary to quote frank underwood, from limericks struggles at the moment, so keep it up lads i need the cheering up!!!

im not really into hurling so there goes that point..

so how can you complain about rte showing rugby over hurling when you cant even be bothered to watch it yourself

tg4 have the right to pro 12 and champions cup highlights , rte can easily afford to out bid them - so how on earth can you say that rte is not competing with tg4 for these events

alano dont show similar shows...then what is the vodafone documentary over the summer about?..what about against the head?'
for against the head read allianz league sunday or sunday game - lot more the the gaa ones show
ok rte show the all stars - do they show rugby equivalent, they show championship draw - do the show rugby equivalent
they show the geansai , thank gaa its friday -- whats the rugby equivalent come on im dying to find out !!!!!

rte would show as much rugby as they could if they werent constantly getting outbid by tv3 and others...they cant compete with the likes of sky and bt and you know it..
yes but they can comete with tg4 for pro12, under 20 world cup and champions cup highlights - they dont
how come rte dont get outbid by tv3 or tg4 or championship gaa
..
.the club game is dead.... no it isnt 2500 at musnter va garryowen - it aint dead how any clubs games have you been to this year
where did carbery, john ryan, sweetenam, goggin etc come from - wait for it wait for it .... clubs!!!!!!!!

and you shouldnt have to quote tv viewership from 3 and 4 years ago unless you were getting desperate...there is no basis for showing womens rugby live on rte..its bias.
Eh i quoted figures from friday of last week , -eir sport

When rte are showing no 6 nations next year will you still besaying they are biased

you seem very concerned about womens sport yet - when i made a few suggestions about improving camogie coverage- your answers -nothing ..the inside of a doughnut!!

janesboro (Limerick) - Posts: 1502 - 14/02/2017 20:03:04    1956810

You know that in order to show the 6 nations RTE have to show the womens and u20 right ? Its part of the deal

If rte were so pro rugby would they dropped GAA, soccer and use that money to show rugby ? Instead they are somehow biased by continually showing less rugby . Tin hat sales must be soaring
