Pity they wouldn't show another couple of club games on delay instead of that muck in America, though they probably haven't that many units to send around to games here.

Yeah, they're all off in bloody Boston instead. :mad:

Utter madness that resources are being dedicated to that nonsense in Boston and Oz, that no one give a damm about.

And by give a damm, I mean a genuine damm, not just idle curiosity to see how so and so on the fringes of the panel gets on, or how so and so coming back from an inury gets on, or how so and so Big Name Former Hurler of The Year is motoring. It's November. None of it matters, when the games that DO matter are so far away.

I'd say they don't have any resources out in the US and they're just getting a feed from there. They're probably using the few units they have on the club games they're showing but it's still a pity.

Somebody is lugging camera to the stadiums, wiring them up and filming the games and then there is the match commentary. Some one somewhere is paying for all that. Hiring a US or Oz based film crew may reduce the costs, but it all still costs money. So does flying Marty Morrissey out to Australia.

Do you mean full delayed coverage of two more games immediately after the 1.30 pm to 5 pm slot? That would be too much of a marathon for me, and I think it might upset the non sports viewers.

What a mad game between limerick and Wexford here in this Fenway thing.

Kyle Hayes absolutely flaking lads. Eventually got a red card.

It's desperate yoke altogether. No wonder the players get frustrated and start flaking one another. Not sure what the point of it is. Few at it and don't imagine it is televised stateside? Not on a Sunday with all the NFL games at same time.

I'm watching exactly that instead myself.

Would have been only stupidly gave up Sky sports!

What was Paul Flynn doing there by the way?

What is this?

The "Fenway classic" in Boston.

Don't worry. You missed nothing!

I presume TG4 will be showing the Leinster football final on sunday?

It's the semi final, Mullinalaghta & Eire Og are playing the other semi final in Longford. But in reality have to fancy whoever wins between Kilmacud Crokes & Portlaoise to win Leinster.

TG4 Sunday 2nd December

AIB Ulster Club Football Final
Scotstown (Monaghan) v Gaoth Dobhair (Donegal) – LIVE @ 1.30pm

AIB Leinster Club Hurling Final
Ballyboden St. Enda’s (Dublin) v Ballyhale Shamrocks (Kilkenny) – DEFERRED @ 3.35pm

what genius decided on this schedule?

Only plausible one is that Gaoth dobháir is an Irish speaking area.

High scoring hurling match against , well ….

Referee doing very well with the big decisions in the Ulster Final. Got the Gaoith Dobhair throw correct at the end of the game and got that Red card spot on. Two punches to the head feigning tackles on the ball.

Really poor from Carey and Scotstown will really miss him. Was playing well and has good Intercounty experience. Madness.

Had been looking forward to this football match all week and I have to say I've really enjoyed it, especially considering the conditions. Still up in the air at half-time in extra-time.

Do yellow cards reset in Extra time now?

Kieran Hughes and McFearraigh just picked up yellows in ET after getting yellows in normal time. TG4 very confused.

I thought that was always the case?

You would have thought so but for years it wasn't. If you had a man sent off you got back to 15 but yellows used carry over. But it made sense to fix it I just can't remember when it was fixed

Scotstown have only themselves and the pitch to blame. Hadn't the football brain to work the most critical score of the game - an equaliser, and they had the chance to do it.

Tbf gaoth dobhair is also the largest gaeltacht parish in ireland, and the vast majority of the players and supporters would speak irish on the pitch and at home. Ergo, a lot would also watch other tg4 programming, a lot of which is also concentrated in the area
RnaG broadcast from gaoth dobhair and i think TG4 share that studio as well, so its also looking after their locality & core audience.
