I wasn't altogether impressed. George Hamilton could hardly have been more uninterested and the show was laboured. Why were the Monaghan and Shels' highlights shoved in at the end, away from the main highlights, with dreadful camera work, when it was the main game? Might not be totally RTÉ's fault (re: cameras) but still...
The piece on Trevor Molloy was complete tokenism. I argued that there should be main highlights from one game, decent highlights from another, a feature game (ie a feature being a major part of the piece rather than the actual game) and the goals from the other three games. The Molloy piece lasted about 30 seconds and it was a waste of time. Why not a piece about what the day of a game is like for a professional IRISH footballer for a whole day?
It was enjoyable, but then we would enjoy it anyway. In a few weeks we might have to rejoice over a minute of coverage after all the Gah is shown. We need a NL highlights show, not a supressed Sunday Sport.
