Does anyone know what viewing figures TG4 get each Sunday? A lot of people seem to have watched yesterday Munster hurling final, which was an exceptional game by all accounts. I expect just like with the ladies football finals, the viewing figures might be much greater than you might think.

That totally deserves to be a main story. It was disgraceful what happened to what is one of the premier football games in Tipperary
pUTTING that story to forefront isn't scraping the barrel at all and that story deserves more coverage than it is getting;

that has to be the most hypocritical response ever from you.
on one hand you dont believe club level gaa is a big deal and there isnt much interest by supporters
outside of their own county, you went as far as to say that the dublin county final is less important
than the naming of the connaught rugby team to play zebre in the pro12
now you turn around and say this story of a relegation club football match in a hurling county totally deserves to be a main story
and go as far as calling this relegation playoff as one of the premier games in tipperary gaa.
you dont beleive that the dublin championship final in a county where gaa and football in general is huge
deserves a mention but totally believe a relegation football playoff in a hurling county
with a very low level football club scene should be the main headlines

Complete rubbish Ormond . That is a story for the local papers, no more, no less. Sometimes I admire your posts . Sometimes I wonder what is going on in your head .

The point I was making a vital game being played on such a horrible pitch is certainly headline news and if you knew anything about Tipperary you would know south Tipperary and many parts of west and mid Tipperary are as much gaelic as staunch hurling areas.

Pathetic Ormond. You are losing a lot of credibility . You know well that people are interested in club championship finals. No one is interested in a postponed relegation play off .

The only surprise is that anyone is surprised by articles of this kind. How many times before have you seen negative images of football or hurling - photographs of empty seats at matches to suggest poor attendances or of quaint hand printed signs on dressing room doors to imply a lack of professionalism or of scoreboards with peeling paint -all to give the D4 set the opportunity to have a good laugh at poor Paddy down the country. No photograph comes without an agenda.

For the last ten days the Ireland/Australia rugby match has dominated the RTE Sport website with positive, celebratory stories the order of the day. Today however a negative story relating to the game emerged with news that the IRFU are considering billing the Aussies for the estimated 8,000 euro damage caused to a dressingroom by the Australians immediately after the game. It is undoubtedly the biggest rugby story of the day. Except of course on the RTE Sport website which has not carried one single word about the incident. Same old story. Rugby dominates the website until something negative occurs then it is completely ignored. We're back to the three monkeys syndrome. Blatant bias at its best?

Pathetic Ormond. You are losing a lot of credibility. You know well that people are interested in club championship finals. No one is interested in a postponed relegation play off.Eh the point I was making was the state of the pitch the county board were trying to make teams play on and which was a joke. That the county board were trying to get 2 teams to play on such a poor pitch is certainly newsworthy
So read my posts properly before you call me pathetic....

Why would IRFU release such information or the Aviva stadium management? And how else would it be known. If there is such bias complain to vile nugent as he is boss of RTE sport then he will give a reply as whinging here will bring no changes that you clearly feel are necessary

More than 24 hours on from the story of the Australian rugby party doing damage to a dressingroom first coming to light and the RTE Sport website still has not made any reference to it. The site does however carry a 1,500 word article about Les Kiss carrying all the good news of the last few weeks. Is RTE Sport tying to hide what happened from TV/Radio license payers?

Why dont you contact RTE about this?
RTE are not hiding anything and the story has been covered on the news both tv/radio.

I don't watch telly that often so can't comment on the TV coverage on RTE for GAA. I very rarely listen to RTE radio. A lot of stuff repeated on RTE telly. Do ye think there would be a market for RTE or TV3 to have a Match of the Day-style club programme showing clips of some great club games from any county in football and hurling. It's just a thought put in my head because someone on another thread mentioned the Underdogs. Could highlight some emerging talent yet to play intercounty but, more importantly, show some great club football and hurling.
