World cup destroying the GGA in the TV ratings war

Yes

You seem upset by the decline of the Eire national team to the number two team on the island.

Hes taken it very badly

You have taken today’s news that the English football team trumped the 6 nations badly

Not correct but anyway.

I am comfortable in the position of Irish rugby as the Nation’s team. That is borne out by the consistent ratings it attracts, the better attendances and general awareness of the players.

Rumors about the third/fourth choice Ireland hooker gets more traction than anything about the Eire soccer team. Roy Keane, the assistant manager, is the best known and most captivating character in the set up. He is followed by Martin O’Neil. The only Irish soccer player known these days on the island by the ordinary person is Robbie Brady.

The English national team is more popular this year mate

Do you mean Robbie Keane?

Not true bud.

Have you figured out why RTÉ didn’t announce it as the highest rated programme of the year yet?

Because it’s July?

So now we’re making excuses because people here lied on the rating?

Lower average rating.
Lower peak.

But people happy enough to go way lying? Poor show TSG.

Interesting to see you play the holiday game now you’re caught out.

What about all the people who go away for St Patrick’s weekend?
The people in the stadium.
The people watching in clubs and pubs?

A piss weak argument from the La Liga fan on here. We’re talking about domestic Irish ratings here, away to Channel 11 or whatever network has decided to buy La Liga.

You appear to be very rattled mate. I merely made a light hearted comment that RTE didn’t announce it as their highest rated show because it’s only July

Irrelevant.

TV stations always announce it when they have had the highest rated show of the year so far.

That’s the way it goes in the business.

Ok mate, sorry for not taking it all 100% seriously. Let me know what channel La Liga is on next year when you get the chance

I just told you. Now run along, this is serious business.

Why are you talking about holidays?

Why did you lie?

As a matter of fact, Ireland v England in the grand slam game was the second highest rated show of the last two years.
