Scotland doing well in these fixtures recently. Shame to see the Scottish press totally ignore it though. Did you make it to the game at all?

dubscot

aye, I made it to the game, was with 22 of the Dublin Tartan Army, not a great crowd in the for the game(probably between 6000 to 9,000, about 200 of them were Scottish) due to the total lack of advertising by the GAA before the game. The Irish press were giving them a bit of stick for that.

Did BBC Scotland not show the game live?

SLG

Not as far as I know. I didn't notice anything on the tv or even on their website. Glad there was some Scottish representation there though. I think there's potential for this to be a big event. For a sport where this is the only possible international, this should be an easy one to promote.

There were highlights on BBC1 Scotland at a pointlessly late hour, but nothing live. You'd think that if they could screen the Camanachd Cup Final, they'd be able to find time for the one International.
