I want to complain about some of the male punters not wearing any socks. It's bad enough them not wearing a shirt and tie. And I'd like to see more of Joanne Cantwell. She wears nice shoes.

They've been doing the same for years, and years. Whatever the live games they had on that day, they start with them again that night. It's so silly. Especially in this day and age, with the vast, vast majority of people well able to catch up on the live game, in full, if they so wish in anyways.

They need to able to have more flexibility as well. The 2 hurling games, weren't great in terms of entertainment and talking points yesterday, Tipp Waterford was decent, whereas Lim Cork was over as a contest after 15 mins or so. No need to spend so much more time again on both games last night.

You missed nothing :-) Cavan was a shock. A boring shock, but that's football ...

God be with the days when they would show a few minutes of highlight reels from each of the games going on that weekend. For weaker counties it was our only time on the TV. Not even that now. Just lengthy highlights of the game they showed live just a few hours before, and toe-the-line chatter. If I paid a group of people not to say the word Longford for two hours, someone would blurt it out by accident more than the Sunday Game crew do. Granted we had a bad day yesterday, but the state of things being so bad (and why) also needs airing. Instead we had waxing about how good a thing Tailteann Cup is for weaker counties. That holiday in Mexico, wow! Christ above!

Just to point out a small few errors from Dessie Dolan in last night's effort:

The Sligo manager is Tony McEntee not John McEntee…..
Kildare kicked 36 points against Leitrim not Tipperary.
The Galway goalkeeper in Connor (Conor) Gleeson as distinct from Darren Gleeson….

Must do better for Dessie…

He also called Sligos captain and most established player the last decade Niall Murphy "Nathan Murphy" on last night show

For a cavan supporter you'd be mad keen to see the highlights of beating mayo. For it to be so far into the highlights pretty much sent a whole pile of cavan people off to bed. I get the scheduling and producing challenges. They did move meath to top billing a few weeks ago but it's not straight forward.

They do make the highlights available on YouTube straight after so you look at them this morning. I think people pretty much forget about the Sunday game analysis now. I don't really warm to the current set up and they don't have enough time to talk properly about the games either. So you just pick up the various gaa podcasts. You get much more detailed discussion on them and the quality on the whole is very good.

Replying To SaffronDon:  "You're the type of fella who drives into a traffic jam just so you can complain about the traffic. Would it not be better to change the channel or do something else until the football section is on? Nobody is forcing you to sit through any of it."
He's probably not the one in charge of the remote :)

And just to snow how "sincere" they are about the Tailteann cup, they couldn't even gave an up to date league table for group 4, they showed the 1st round table after yesterday's ( 2nd round) games.
Pathetic stuff !!
