It's very poor taste to personalise a comment like that.

Good post but the morons will differ. We pay the licence and are subjected to rubbish-so much for the national broadcaster. MH owes RTE nothing.

God we really are an opinionated shower on these forums crying about respect but no respect for people's own decisions. No keyboard warrior on here really knows what goes on in the Tyrone camp. The Tyrone camp have possibly came together and made a collective decision not to involve RTE; fair enough and end of story. In reality no inter county player owe RTE or the media anything. Rte have diddly squat to do with the long hard nights and hours of sacrifice players and the surrounding team put in at the cost of spending time with their families and sacrifices in life they make. The players have got the reward of partaking in an all Ireland final and are one step away from their goal of achieving a Celtic cross; in all this they owe RTE nothing and if the camp do not wish to give RTE their time for the commercial aid of broadcasting a few mundane interviews and snips from the team hotel in All Ireland night so be it. People on here lauding around the word respect should have a think to themselves and RESPECT the decision Tyrone have made. I trust the Tyrone team have removed themselves from all this nonsense and are fully focused on the task ahead and will give one hell of an all out die in their boots performance which is all that really should matter. Any true Gael in Ireland would love to see full hearted battle for 70+ mins in croker and May the best team win; at the end of the day it's ultimately about the match; that's what the true excitement is about, good luck to both teams; Tyrone Abu hithimhard (Tyrone) - Posts: 20 - 22/08/2018 08:25:39 2135512 Link 2 |

You can see Mickey Hartes point back then after his daughters death it was in very poor taste by John Murray but you cannot put a blanket over all off RTE GAA is an entertainment business as well as Sport and people enjoy watching their local heroes being interviewed on RTE. RTE in my opinion give great coverage and the Panel such as Sean Cavanagh adds hugely to a big game so surely Mickey can do his own thing and not talk to anyone but that ban should not apply to Tyrone panel IMO Sports journalists have a job to do as well and make a living. clooney (Clare) - Posts: 891 - 22/08/2018 11:50:59 2135558 Link 0 |
Who cares about rte sky will do the after match interviews and if Tyrone win they can interview all the ex player mercenaries outside the hotel. Who can slowly take the knives out of mikeys back while picking up a paycheck ulsterrules (Donegal) - Posts: 259 - 22/08/2018 11:56:04 2135559 Link 0 |
Excellent read. I just hope RoyalDunne reads this with an open mind and sees where most people on here are coming from. The_Fridge (Tyrone) - Posts: 2088 - 22/08/2018 12:51:39 2135582 Link 0 |

You have to spare a thought for RD in all this. He really believed that Meath would be playing in next week's final, that was his prediction when Andy Mc came in. He must be a broken man that his biggest hate Tyrone put an end to that pipe dream. But maybe putting a dart board of the Tyrone panel up on the wall would be better than starting a thread like this. The issue is a lot more serious than sport. Try to see that through the eyes of those it really impacts. SaffronDon (Antrim) - Posts: 2386 - 23/08/2018 08:40:36 2135814 Link 0 |
Listen to me for a second. It's grandstanding for the sake of it this long on. You and I both know that should mh go after this year rte will have full access to Tyrone next year. Look at Sean cavanagh. My point is that it's getting silly now, where as in the beginning it was absolutely right and a stance I supported. Just it's gone on too long now. What would resolve it for harte? If nothing then so be it. But you and I both know Tyrone will be doing interviews etc with rte as soon as harte is gone.

Time for Tyrone to move on. While Micky Harte had a good reason for the initial stance following an insensitive comment by an RTE presenter, I read that the presenter subsequently apologised to Micky Harte. thelongridge (Offaly) - Posts: 1745 - 23/08/2018 10:56:37 2135856 Link 3 |
If Tyrone win sky will have interviews with anyone they want from Tyrone. If offaly ever become an interest to rte and they get treated the same way as Tyrone and Mikey harte has been then I'm sure you will change your tune . Your not called biffo's for no reason . Until then I hope Tyrone stick with it. Amatuer sports people do not deserve any stick when rte are making money off these boys backs ulsterrules (Donegal) - Posts: 259 - 23/08/2018 11:34:32 2135875 Link 1 |
Sure RTE could post the award up if its a Tyrone MOTM, that is if they can find us on one of their maps!

Fair play to royaldunne and thelongridge for agreeing with MH at the beginning (2011). The toxicity from TSG panel hasn't helped matters , the new RTE head of sports has expressed his disapproval of pundits 'personal attack' on amateur players. Important that ex Tyrone players make a contribution in the media to restore some balance. Curlew66 (Roscommon) - Posts: 507 - 23/08/2018 12:27:36 2135905 Link 0 |
Terrible personal attack on someone for their opinion, btw last time I checked Offaly have he'll lot more all ire than donegal, btw Murphy wouldn't be fit to lace Matt connors boots.

best way to stop this mess, rte to quit showing tyrone games live, including the all ireland final. lasttoknow (Tyrone) - Posts: 99 - 23/08/2018 14:06:22 2135943 Link 1 |
