It is.

Both Sky and RTE should be co-operating in order to ensure that these sorts of games are televised.The whole purpose of television coverage is to act as an advertisment for the GAA and it's pretty bad that one of the biggest games of the year that is sure to get a good audience because of the quality of the last game won't be on telvision.

I don't agree.

My view on this is quite simple, if there is a televised game on one channel then there should not be another game televised at the same time on another. I think that's commercially sound and fair on the broadcasters.

The replay should not have been fixed for 7pm in the first instance if there was an existing game due to be played. Just a bit of common sense. Have it thrown in at 5 and avoid all problems. Then there's a game on RTE and one on sky straight after with no palava.

While its good on one level to see both broadcasters cooperating with each other and giving permission for the match to be aired at 7, they probably should have put their foot down and forced a change in throw in time.

Anyway the main issue is probably down to whatever clouster decided to fix the game for 7 first of all. Should have known there would be a clash.

ProudDUB · 08-07-2015 06:48PM

It's not just down to the GAA, as to when games are played. The Guards have a lot of input too. They wanted the game in the evening, as there is something else on during the day (a race of some sort) that will lead to road closures in Killarney. People couldn't get to/from the game, if the game was on during the day.

You couldn't fix it for 5 and 'avoid all problems'

Sky already had a game down for 5 and the Gardai wanted it on at 7.

Didn't know there was a game at 5.

Hey folks,

Could someone please advise which are the best of the terrace seats to go for? I don't have a family so will pass on the red terrace so would you go green or blue given the choice?

I've only ever been to soccer matches and they are all seated - is it better to be higher up in a terrace so you can see right across the pitch or nearer the front to be closer to the action?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Comic Book Guy · 10-07-2015 10:12PM

Quick question lads.

Are repeat pairings allowed or not at the All Ireland quarter final stage?

Or would say the loser of Munster final replay be drawn against Dublin (assuming they win on Sunday) if they win their game against either of this weekends 3a winners?

Yeah, not to write off the 3A winners, but the Cork/Kerry losers would ultimately play Dublin in the last eight. Not sure though if Westmeath would play a 3A or 3B winner.

Thanks for that.

Leinster losing finalists are on A side.

Fr Tod Umptious · 11-07-2015 10:25AM

That's what I don't like about the A and B side of the draw.

Rather than the possibility of facing any of the three other provincial winners, a provincial losers than wins the 4th round game can only face one team.

But one change that they have made this year is that they swap around the A and B at the SF stage.
So you cannot have a repeat of a provincial final until the All Ireland final.

Go as high up as you can,Ive watched games in both the Green and Blue sections,Green is in the corner and it isn't bad and usually isn't as packed as the blue section which is where everyone wants to be.

An Ciarraioch · 11-07-2015 04:56PM

Qualifiers finish as expected, though Meath push Tyrone right to the final whistle. Surprising that Tipp have a 23-point margin against Louth, but nothing noteworthy about Derry-Wexford.

Wow.

Can they sink any lower?

Fr Tod Umptious · 11-07-2015 09:15PM

Kildare beat Longford handy tonight also.

So the last 2 in A are Kildare and winners of Fermanagh/Roscommon.

And they will play Cork, Kerry, Dublin or Westmeath.

Tom Joad · 12-07-2015 05:15PM

Fermanagh come from the dead to put Roscommon out of the championship. Not too many seen that coming.

Fr Tod Umptious · 12-07-2015 05:34PM

Go win from Galway today.
Pity Roscommon lost from a leading position, it would have been nice to see a Connacht double over Ulster.

12-07-2015 05:44PM

You have to say fair play to Pete McGrath on the progress Fermanagh have made this year. Up to Division 2 next year and a more than reasonable chance of making the last 8 if the 50/50 draw goes their way. Roscommon will be disgusted with the game seemingly in the bag, Evans record in the championship will come under more scrutiny now. Will he get another year? Either way fair play to Fermanagh.

Tom Joad · 12-07-2015 05:53PM

McGrath is an excellent manager and done it with the same small panel of players that Canavan had. He is getting the most out of Quigley too which helps.

Bad result for Armagh and probably the end for McGeeney there.

Seriously unlikely, he's had one year of a five year term.
