Ah yes I remember some of these men back when I could watch these games on rte and tv3 free of charge just had to sit through the ads.
@Modern Irish Dad: just had to sit through the horrible analysis too.
@King B: I guess,but when I was young it did not bother me as much as it helped learn a bit about the teams. I think rte had the edge when it came to coverage.
@Modern Irish Dad: You can surely still watch the final free of charge.
@Peter Clancy: you can still watch most/ all rounds on Rte tv 3 free of charge

@King B: I’d rather listen to Dunphy and co than listening to autocue monkeys on bt
