Replying To Ulsterman:  "I don't watch the Sunday Game at all. There's an inherent, ingrained anti Ulster agenda running through RTE's sports department and I believe that played a part in Brolly leaving too. They worship at Dublin and Kerry's altar no matter how they play and Kerry and Dublin are as cynical as any other side but you will never hear RTE saying that."
You can't blame RTE for saying it how it is.
Spillane and Whelan are just cheerleaders but the rest are fine.
The fact that the Ulster final was (to paraphrase Jorge Valdana) " shit on a stick", has nothing to do with RTE.

With respect it was at least as good as the Munster or Leinster one.

If RTE got one thing right it was getting rid of Brolly who continually talks up Dublin.

He hardly needed to "talk up" Dublin for ten years in fairness!

He has had plenty bad to say about them on other days. I like him because he says what he thinks and holds his hand up if he gets it wrong. Better than listening to the clichés trotted out by others.

None of them are good at predicting outcomes other than the most obvious ones, it has to be said too. Hardly surprising some of them are doing nixers for the turf accountants! You'd be in debtors' prison if you were following some of the tips.

True, do you ever note the pundits half time comments and compare with their pre/post match comments? Totally about face. As a watch RTE is a drag.
