It's not only SKY that need to upgrade their GAA coverage!

Never mind Sky mispronouncing a few names and getting some graphics wrong, what are firstrow at putting the Ivory Coast flag up instead of the Irish one?

Shocking stuff.

Damn them and their free content. Was just looking at the Twitter reaction actually and it struck me we are still a very needy and insecure nation. So many comments along the lines of, "English followers, put on Sky Sports 3 and tell me how great my sport and by extension country are". Did like the comment that said Jamesie O'Connor was sitting like he was getting ready for a lap dance and another that said while they were well turned out, you got the feeling they were all on the way to a wedding.

Oh it's terrible, reminded me of a mate who got a tattoo on his back and part of it included the Irish flag waving from a flagpole, the flag though was "blowing" right to left just inside his shoulder so to make it look green white and orange (in sequence) it effectively ended up being an Ivory Coast flag.

All joking aside isn't it terrible how anybody no matter where they are in world can stream this game yet the finals today, the Tyrone Down replay, the Cork Waterford replay and countless other matches aren't available anywhere other than local radio?

Not on Twitter to be honest, only look it up every now and then to get score updates etc.

He was sitting in a "look how wide I can spread my legs" type position alright.

They look to be adding a bit of technology to the mix anyways which I welcome, just a bit of kit to analyse tactics and bits of play (if they do so afterwards) can make a world of difference, the difference between highlights on Soccer Republic this year compared to MNS last year is another example.

Be interesting to see what the highlights show that has been mentioned will be like.

There's definitely room in schedule for a Thursday / Friday night show covering the previous weekends games and looking ahead to whats on this weekend and discussing team announcements etc. Championship Matters hardly counts in that regard, does it fuck matter.

jebus Tommy,i got the impression over the last while that you were'nt exactly in love with the whole Sky/GAA thing,but quoting twitterati to make your point dosen't seem like your form???.i didn't see the coverage,so i'm a bit confused...lapdance at Nowlan Park ?..and me stuck up here in Longford with no lift home..!!

Wish I had sky sports all I had was newstalk radio for Longford and Wexford, a cracking game! Pay a TV license and you get that moron on a Sunday night sitting on his big wage packet while we all complain about brolly or Spillane, worst anchor ever FFS he's even shite in the radio.

Tis like Jason Ryan... lads are only champing at the bit waiting for it to go wrong... The Sun have done a deal where they'll have a minute's highlights of games at half time and two minutes after - presume it's of selected games.

Click on the event you want to watch and close the adds (click on the "x") some "x"'s don't appear for a few seconds. If you have broadband its a good job.
