But I agree someone should show it.
I remember the news last night talking about some GAA guy being suspended or something.. Is that him? And how is that bigger news than our league champions progressing in the Champions League?Quote:

That's a large enough "if" to make your point completely irrelevant.Quote:

lads come on GAA is huge, look at the media it gets and crowds it pulls. dub v wex (80,000 plus). now while i agree there was hardly any proper coverage its never goin to compete with GAA. at least tv3 had an interview with doolin. surely one of them could have shown the goal ? the kiev match will be on tv id say.Quote:

Only a channel with rights to the Champions League can show it. Just because other channels have rights to the LOI doesn't matter.Quote:

As it is Harps have a programme at the printers, ads in local papers for the game etc. I really do believe the FAI has improved but this is a joke of a decision. We can only hope the FAI compensate Harps for the money wasted on this.
(It also means we now have 5 weeks without a home game and suspensions due for Saturday carry over until the vital Galway game.)
I think that Champions' League rights are only for the group stages and anyone can show qualifying round games.Quote:

Well Done Drogheda!
Nope, the FAI postponed it and there's damn all we can do.Quote:

I think the problem last year was RTE offering no money.Quote:
