The BBC pulled out all the stops yesterday to make All-Ireland football final day a prominent fixture in their sporting calendar beyond the north. “It’s bigger than Eurovision,” asserted a Dublin fan they interviewed before the game of All-Ireland final day, “This is the Irish Superbowl,” said the Late Late Show’s new presenter Patrick Kielty from high up in the stands at Croke Park. Wonderful afternoon at the All-Ireland football final yesterday. Delighted to be part of the first BBC national broadcast of the final, and to be in such good company. Those in Ireland choosing to watch the final on the Beeb, will probably dig that angle once a year as well.
