Will they teach you and your AKAs how to use capital letters when you start secondary school?

Do rte have rights to show all these game sin gaa? They show 1 game a week and tg4 are showing 4 or 5 games.
Leinster game was on tv because of the rights deal that the irfu sign up to.
It doesnt mean rte is rugby focused. If it was so rugby focused then how come theyve lost so much of their coverage over the years

It wasn't Wales who were playing Leinster! It was Cardiff! Again, it's the Capital, Cardiff arent the Welsh national team!!

Its a joke, no game on again today. RTE are gone full rugby. Its no wonder LOI had to look elsewhere, hopefully GAATV will show games and we can get away from RTE completely.

You'd be stuck if you had to pay for a sub for every username.

There would be lads who would say beneath their breath that TG4 is all in Irish and at the same time complain about a bias to foreign games!

Anyone know how much the GAA made out of the Connacht disaster in mayo yesterday? Big crowd but can't imagine too many were inspired. I never heard the mayo crowd so quiet.

Are you joking me. RTÉ is Dublin 4. Dublin four is rugby heartland. Aviva, Pembroke, Bective, Wanderers, St Marys, Terenure, St Michaels. Place is full of rugby clubs. Not easy for GAA to get a look in there.

Open to interpretation with Kew. It could be he'd see 27,500 people at a rugby match as a disaster from a GAA perspective. Or if there were only 5,000 at it it'd be a disaster from a rugby one. Either way it's all a disaster.

RTE is Dublin 4 all right.

Am guessing that you (like me) are old enough to remember when you actually had to send a letter or postcard to things like competitions on The Late Late Show, and the address given was always 'RTE, Donnybrook, Dublin 4'.

And have just checked the RTE website, and yes indeed, under 'Contact Us', the postal address is still given as just 'RTE, Donnybrook, Dublin 4'.
