The GAA Football All-Ireland Senior Championship starts this weekend.It's one of the biggest competitions in all of Irish sport. The All-Ireland football final has traditionally been among the top five most-watched TV broadcasts of the year.

No 65m lines in Iniskeen!? Put some respect on lower-league hurling.
