Just realised that Sky have finally got permission to show RTE 1+2 . Hooray :D On ch 267 + 268 . Just in time for Punchestown as well :P
 
Careful, apparantly "Some RTE sporting fixtures will only be shown in the Republic, depending on broadcasting rights." Probably won't affect Punchestown, but watch out for it.
 
I saw that yesterday . Was there a rugby match on? Sorry I'm totally off message re: other sport :D They just had a logo on the screen saying programme not available . I just thought it would be nice to get the Irish commentary and have a choice between them and ATR . RTE usually have Ted Walsh and I like listening to his comments .
 
Solly, where are you based? Might this new availability of RTE 1+2 just be for Northern Ireland only? I couldn't find either station on my telly last night in - ahem - Yorkshire.

Nothing in London either :(
 
Well worth it for Ted Walshe's quote after the Moscow race . While they were waiting for the result the commentator mistakenly told Ted someone had £35, 000 on in favour of Moscow in the photo. His exact quote was "He needs his fuxxing head examined " Live racing priceless :lol:
 
But did Ted have any of the 11/8 that you could have had on Rathgar Beau in the photo? I was running around trying to get a price for a dead-heat, but not one bookmaker wanted to quote me. They must all be as cynical as I am...
 
The bookmakers obviously knew about the lack of a reflective strip on the finishing post...
