What the hell is going on with RTE? They havnt shown a single foul, dirty tackle, or booking yet!

Usually the show is about how many can they get suspended!

When are RTE going to give us a decent highlights programme for the NFL which has footage of all the weekend games - surely there is the market seeing as the league groups are organised outside the provincial system and therefore there can be much greater travelling distances involved for fans making at least some of them less likely to go.

I cant understand why they wont give us a "match of the day" type programme showing highlights of all the games played around the country. It would be great entertainment for an hour and a half on a sunday night. Re-showing the games that we've already seen live that day is a waste of time

It is a disgrace that cameras could not have been present for at least half the games in the league. RTE would rather show a few mins of league games and waste the rest of their show by doing anything but showing games.

I agree they should have in this day and age, a match of the day style hightlight program, They listed the Monaghan v Cork as part the hightlights for last night yet they never showed a bit of it. It looked like it was the match of the day! and why do they call it Sunday Sport? It is about time they changed that,, how about ''Gaa Weekly League'' or something Come on Rte the is no reason why ye cant put a camera around all the grounds. Every county is entitled to get some airtime..even London or KIlkenny footballers!

So everyone that pays a TV licence is entitled to have their favourite topic Shown on TV.?
If the amount of people going to kilkenny's games is anything to go by there's not too many people interested

Yep! As a national broadcaster there is an obligation to cater for the biggest spectator sport in the country.

I don't mind seeing a re-run or an anaylsis of the games already shown that day but otherwise I agree completly with you-it would be great viewing and interesting to see all the other teams
