I think 'The Club' was merely a documentary about a GAA club in south Armagh.

I'll make a point of watching 'End to End' tonight and if I stick it out to the end, I'll give you a proper critique, not to say deserve a medal.

Ah, I forgot about "The Club", but there was definitely a BBC NI sport discussion programme, mainly about rugby, as I say hosted by Mark Robson and Denise Watson, it had a similar title to "The Club".

Good luck with "End to End" tonight, Gav.

Col, I was merely wondering do the GAA "fraternity" regard it as a must-see.

With little or no action and all the ingredients of a chummy get-together in a pub with no beer, I just find it as dull as dishwater.

I'm hoping for good things from this new BBC NI sports magazine programme, though they have tried things similar before ('The BackPage', and another 'Sports ....' something where the names escapes me) and they didn't last.

I quite liked 'Choice Sport' myself, as it was quite simple and highlights orientated rather than cliquey jaw-jaw like 'End to End', but they didn't so much scrap that as the channel itself!


End to End is a must a see in Ulster GAA circles as it doesnt have the Southern bias that RTE programming contains.
And as for the time of the program its perfect all daily activities are over and most people that follow the game are relaxed ready to watch it.
It was a talking point this year also about why it never started until July or last week or June, people were looking forward to its return.
