Setanta started out with feed on GAA games only in the beginning. Their only oposition in the UK was Tara TV (Now gone)

Setanta are now big players up against Sky etc for the big global TV sports. They probably don't really give a tupenny sh*te about the Irish market abroad for GAA.

What the GAA need to do is set up their OWN TV channel. God knows they have the resources and people would be willing to pay into the coffers for decent coverage.

setanta show all the games in australia, whats the problem with the UK?

I wouldn�t be too bothered about trying to convince critics from outside the SE. It�s more important to win the support of sceptics from within the SE ranks and present a united front.

"Good luck to ya Bertie. One of the best. Sl�n leat mo chara."

That's what was written last week by Michael Caine and this week he writes "I'm one of FFs and Cullen's most vociferous critics"

With such a brassneck You've certainly proved yourself a FF'er alright!

hOw about "slan leat mo UNIVERSITY"????

ye better hope you don't get someone cheeky like me...

or maybe you do...

seriously though... we baptise our children for the sake of something that is not to be taken literally... are we this dumb?

I want to know the real story if the one we've read is only a metaphor...

Just a general observation on the comments so far.

The most significant thing we have received is the signing off of this motorway... if we didn't get it we would never get another foreign industry investing in the city again.

The last bit of it was signed off a month ago under FF so they did deliver on this and I believe personally only because we have a minister at the table, otherwise the greens would have gotten their way as they were not in favour of it.

Are the greens in favour of anything other than the real greenbacks and bleeding the country dry, then again you could say the same about F.F. F.G. S.F. LABOUR and the rest. The greens just want to bleed WATERFORD dry first and they're doing a good job of it so far. Say goodbye to inward investment and thank God for the first bypass in history that will not result in a busier bypassee.

Apparently David Knox isnt too impressed with it! Very bitter interview given to Peter Bills in the paper today - read it on the fans forum, they are not impressed. Knox had a lot to say about Irish rugby in general! Suppose not getting his contract renewed at Leinster is a bit of a sore point

Doing the london thing myself but taking off work the next week and spending extra days over there too - be a very good weekend with no work to go back to!!
Looking for a ticket too, but heard teh same about tickets on the day - will get them pretty handy.
Be on a train from London to Cardiff, express ones only take 2 hours, and though trains are expensive, you can get some deals, work out about 50 or 60 sterling, not too bad. Flights to london and train over much cheaper than flying in.
Only thing to work out is Saturday night - have hotel in London booked, but not going back there till Sunday!! Know a few people over there so will find a floor somewhere, will not be a night to go back to London and miss!!

i dont think your ugly..

I really hope that Obama gets it to be honest. I'm a bit disappointed that his campaign played the race card recently but overall I've been relatively impressed by the guy. As long as he doesn't lose the run of himself and start promising everything under the sun as that won't lend well to a second term with the uphill battle that the poor guy will inherit - unless of course he pulls a Giuliani.

There is one thing that worries me however and some may have seen it written in other internet fora, I won't tempt fate by repeating it, but I really hope that there's not some mad yankee out there that fancies his place in the history books if Obama does get in. Some will know the heinous speculation to which I refer...

Like Pat Shortt said once, Ikilled him with one shot...bang bang!
