The Sunday game has reached it's sell by date and should be restructured is correct, it's boring, predictable and tunnel focused. Joanne Cantwell is an excellent presenter and quiet knowledgeable but what RTE are actually doing is papering over the cracks by glamourizing the same Sunday game that we are critising, by putting it on a par with sky's Rachael Wyse, perhaps?. RTE have it almost an elitist show at 70%, div. 2 at 15% div. 3 at 10% and div. 4 at 5% or less. Rotate the presenters spot on a weekly / monthly basis, let the presenter select and change the panel more regularly than previous. Better still, bring back what used to be the "Monday game."with a male presenter, and rotate both presenters as required, with all divisions getting a fair share of airing over the two nights. supersub15 (Carlow) - Posts: 2907 - 29/05/2018 19:54:44 2105403 Link 0 |

Totally agree with most on here its very poor especially showing matches that were live eariler in the day getting most of the airtime ( the league was a joke for this ). Yourjoking (USA) - Posts: 705 - 29/05/2018 22:01:03 2105425 Link 2 |
Agree with everything you said. 1. If I want to see one particular game I don't want to wait for 2 hrs for 2 mins of highlights 2. Everyone was interested in the outcome even neutrals because of mayo and Tyrone 3. Biggest issue . I think ciaran whelan is fantastic particularly at analysing teams style of play what they are doing right or wrong but he is so biased towards the dubs. he knows some of the team personally he can't be impartial, none of us could if we knew the players well. The way he spoke about poor Galway who didn't want to be in a league final with dublin because they'd be destroyed and the players would never recover. Keegan v Connolly they didn't have footage of how incident began and none of the analysts saw how either ,but whelan says Keegan must of started it because he is a back and Connolly is a forward. Cooper commits a nasty foul. Whelan "I know him it's not like him , I don't think we should be to harsh on him.( and Cooper is no angel) A bit of a rant only because I think he's otherwise very good on the show. Sean Cavanaugh can't possibly analyse Tyrone he was only on the team last year.i don't want to hear Spillane or Brolly talk about anyone. Can Brolly not talk about Galway without talking about Paddy Tally. I've never heard a member of the backroom team talked about so much galwayfball (Galway) - Posts: 1678 - 29/05/2018 23:13:25 2105440 Link 1 |

Des Cahill and the Sunday game should do proper research before making silly statements like they did last night, KingdomBoy1 (Kerry) - Posts: 14092 - 04/06/2018 21:45:42 2107458 Link 0 |
Is mise Gaelgoiri. I like the Irish language. I think that TG4 should be given the rights to the All Ireland matches. In Irish. They had a good show, Seo Spoirt. This is what is needed imho. Sunday game is useless especially the football. 2 pundits, Tom O Sé and Colm O Rourke slagging off teams, usually Ulster ones. Tom O Sé praising Kerry too. What have Meath won also in the last 20 years? O Rourke is not good either. galwayford (Galway) - Posts: 2519 - 04/06/2018 22:47:04 2107485 Link 1 |

Surely Donegal v Down would be a better game to show or even limerick and Waterford like you say.

The are only showing 3 football games up to provincial finals so dropping one of them doesn't make much sense. The shouldn't have picked any dublin game in leinster given how far the are ahead of the rest. I don't know why anyone would think dublin meath would be a better game then dublin longford. Longford and meath are at a similar level.
