    Try p2peu or justintv come matchday. Or, better yet, a pub!

    Thanks for the replies.

    First off, I use myp2p quite a lot, however they don't usually list those matches under other sports or live at all when they are playing. I've noticed that the matches are sometimes shown on justintv, however when I usually search for which teams are playing, nothing comes up. Are there certain justintv accounts that broadcast GAA stuff more often?

    As for Setanta, I actually have the channel through satelite, but they never show the matches live. I've looked into the broadband, but according to their website they don't necessarly cover all the matches? At least the montly subscription doesn't. The annual one is too expensive and I already have the normal subscription for satelite. I see you can pay 100 dollars for the hurling and football packages each through their pay per view option. Either that or you can buy each match for 10 bucks. If was a reasonable price than maybe, but Setanta is being ridiculous with how much they charge and how little they show live. Shouldn't normal Setanta viewers also get full access to the broadband? That would make better sense. It's like Netflix, I pay my monthly bill for it and get free access to their online content.

    Ok my rant is over now. :47:

    I'll be cheering for Galway (against Cork), Fermanagh and Wexford this weekend!

    Impressive second half from Dublin today to win a fourth straight Leinster title. Lots of people talking about a Wexford upset before the game. Never saw that happening but didn't expect Dublin to just blow Wexford away either 3-23 is quite a final tally.

    Dublin now favourites for the AI? I think so after that performance. Have to say I can't remember them being that clinical in their finishing in many a year.

    Leinster football is in a poor state these days with no real challenger to Dublin.

    Just what has happened to the likes of Meath and Kildare?

    It was a particuarly clinical second half. I don't know about Dublin being favourites but certainly in with a good shot.

    To my mind Kerry are Champions and still the team to beat. As good as Dublin looked this weekend it worries me that Kerry didn't win Munster as now maybe they come back into things with a real extra edge after getting beaten. Of course I hope I am wrong but well 1995 is a long time ago so I am certainly not getting too excited about things. I learned my lesson with that 2 years ago when we looked so good and cruised through to the semi-finals only for everything to blow up in our faces against Mayo.

    Just watched a replay of the Cork Galway match. What a crackin' match that was. They still won with only 14 men. :icon_mrgreen:

    Indeed. It would not be the first time that Cork have beaten them, everyone has written Kerry off, and they've then gone on to win it.

    I can only see Dublin having a chance of beating them. Kerry would dump Cork on their arses when it comes to the Championship proper.

    Donegal beat Roscommon comfortably enough in the first round of qualifiers last Saturday and will face Monaghan this Saturday in the second round of qualifiers.

    Bit of both, DBJ. Also, good to see the Dubs scumbags living up to their reputations again last weekend.
