Make sure you still have a little bit of storage space on your recorder for the documentary next Thursday about the Ireland V England game in Croke Park in 2007, after RTE going to the effort of making the programme it is your civic duty to watch it:) Before Janesboro throws his toys out of the pram I better suggest a way of improving GAA output - wouldn't a programme on the community of Slaughtneil be excellent to watch, it could cover their mens and ladies sports teams and their promotion of gaelic culture. I don't think such a show has been made? Soma (UK) - Posts: 2630 - 11/03/2017 15:31:36 1966170 Link

Replying To GreenandRed: "You're gonna say Roscommon but for me Creggs is in Roscommon and not Galway." Creggs is definitely in Co Galway Creggs Rugby Club, The Green, Co Galway. Their colours are even maroon and white manfromdelmonte (UK) - Posts: 541 - 11/03/2017 22:48:42 1966275 Link

Make sure you still have a little bit of storage space on your recorder for the documentary next Thursday about the Ireland V England game in Croke Park in 2007, after RTE going to the effort of making the programme it is your civic duty to watch it:) ta for that i shall make space in my recorder for same, -- but i wont be deleting the excellent documentaries of last friday the lee chin toughest trade, or the thursday night one "cloch" about joe mcdonagh both onrte (while im too young to remember that 1980 final my da has told me plenty about it) , or the tg4 one about the wonderful richie bennis on laochra gael Before Janesboro throws his toys out of the pram I better suggest a way of improving GAA output - wouldn't a programme on the community of Slaughtneil be excellent to watch, it could cover their mens and ladies sports teams and their promotion of gaelic culture.

Soma (UK) - Posts:1774 - 11/03/2017 15:31:36 an absolutely excellent idea , not as good as your idea for a programme about the connacht final between achill and aran but a fantastic suggestion nonetheless janesboro (Limerick) - Posts: 1502 - 12/03/2017 00:11:15 1966285 Link

Replying To manfromdelmonte: "Creggs is definitely in Co Galway Creggs Rugby Club, The Green, Co Galway. Their colours are even maroon and white" That's true, club is just inside Galway border. I played there and we were well beat! We always considered them a Roscommon club for some reason. GreenandRed (Mayo) - Posts: 8319 - 12/03/2017 08:32:56 1966303 Link

RTE is a rugby station manfromdelmonte (UK) - Posts:456 - 12/03/2017 09:42:26 no it isnt. RTE covers all sports. If RTE was a rugby station then how is it that it shows year on year much more GAA than rugby? And next year even less rugby will be shown. No live rugby bar maybe some club AIL games. No 6Ns, pro12, champions cup/champions cup highlights. ormondbannerman (Clare) - Posts: 13473 - 12/03/2017 10:28:51 1966324 Link

2 one sided games to boot. How many were at that 20's game? Few hundred? If that's the criteria for showing sport on RTÉ they'll have to show most club games from around the country. But at least we won a game in November that's the main thing. Not getting spanked by an average wales team on Friday night, that doesn't matter.
