nearly guaranteed to go up after it

That was some rivalry .

Any idea how many would have watched that on eir last nt. Or how many would watch a league game on tg4? I’d say tV3 or rte wouldn’t show them if they got the rights for free.

Eir provide a good service tbf showing 2 or 3 games every Saturday nt

Every cunt wants something for nothing

Live, free to air sport on a Saturday night? Loads would watch it. 34k attended Dublin v Mayo and last night’s game was a sell-out. Dublin v Tyrone on a Saturday night has twice attracted 82k.

Saturday night TV is terrible and people are dying for something to watch. RTE used to happily show the Celtic League in rugby which got paltry attendance figures by comparison.

If RTE or TV3 showed these games they could make them into a television fixture the way the way RTE did with Munster and Leinster’s Heineken Cup games back in the early 00s or how the AFL in Australia have done with Friday night games there.

Not arguing with you sid. Was actually asking a question. Which you didn’t answer. Any idea what the viewing figures currently are?

I agree they would be a good thing to show free to air.

Haven’t a clue what the viewing figures are. I wouldn’t be included in them despite watching most of the games via my computer.

Some of those Meath lads were considered war criminals in Cork, Mick Lyons was actually hated, Liam Hayes would have been unpopular. But lads like O’Rourke, Stafford and Flynn would have been respected. It was a brilliant rivalry.

Unbelievable point by Kirby for Mayo there with the outside of his right boot from out on the right touchline on the 14 yard line.

GearĂłid McKiernan is sheer quality. A quick 1-1 burst just before half time and 1-3 in total from midfield in the first half.

Mayo 0-9 Cavan 1-5. HT.

Goal Cavan. Game on here.

hon cavan.

Cavan take the lead. They were shadowing McKiernan’s left so he knocked that one over right footed from 40 yards.

Mayo forwards or players who receive the ball inside the 30m line have an awful habit of instinctively running away from goal. They never ask defenders a question by taking them on. It’s seems they are constantly looking for a runner in behind.

Passed up a really good goal chance there. O’Reilly refused to pass to the sub.

Nice for Mayo to get a hometown referee for today’s game.

Decent game .

Lee Keegan :clap:

Two great points from Keegan there
