It should be renamed Championship Doesn't Matter (to RTE). It's just dreadful, embarrissing actually.

tribeinbrum It was fairly bad,especially when Marty starts asking Padraig Joyce, what his view is on Hurling.

Horrible show last night. Spent more time talking about counties not involved in action this weekend than previewing matches from this week and reviewing last weeks games which presumably is the aim of the show.

Absolute tosh, amazing in this day and age, that RTE have not copped on yet. If I was president, I would be in their ear as I hate to see our game presented in such terrible fashion, not good for the game, thats for sure!

Poor effort viewers would enjoy good discussion on the previous weeks games and a good preview of the following weekends games eg why will Derry beat Down etc.

Would have to agree with 97Cavans

Seó Spóirt on TG4 is probably the best match review, preview & discussion show that we have on our screens at the minute.

A lads. Ye are being a bit dramatic, ye might be hungry, have a snickers. It's not that bad. It's hardly embarrassing. How does a tv show like that embarrass somebody. I don't get ye. I do agree that more time should have being spent analysing and previewing but as the champ moves on there will be more to talk about. Was good to hear Joyce's thoughts on o'hara's rant, his thoughts on Galway v mayo, he's not really cut out for the tv though. Very little about the coming games but I'm sure it will improve.

Its better than nothing really, I'll watch it any day to be honest. Thought Joyce was very good and the Journalist man seem to post more of a debate than Marty!

Parklive! That was the one with Gilroy. It was a wee bit of a Soccer AM rip-off as far as I remember. Although I'm not that familiar with Soccer AM not being a Murdoch subscriber...

Lads many of ye complain that RTE don't do enough for GAA and then they do have a show and ye complain about the show RTE do make. What does that say about ye??

What could be done better that would be a worthwhile show?? Realistic proposals only.

Have to agree with Ormondbannerman.

RTE are getting the stars on screen almost every weeks episode has lads worth listening too and within half an hour plus the break theres not alot that can be done. We wanted something we got championship matters! Maybe Marty or his researchers could be better with questions or maybe the guests especailly players shouldnt feel like they need to be careful on screen as alot of them appear to be.

Harmless show. Joycer a legend on the pitch and quite polished off it.
