MY local team Larne FC were playing last Friday night (April 14) with one point needed against Crusaders.
A 2-0 win secured us our first ever league title.
The game was streamed live on the BBC iPlayer, but with no pundits and no half-time discussion. Disgrace.
We're live on @BBCiPlayer right now ⚽
It's Crusaders v Larne in the @OfficialNIFL Premiership
Kick-off at 7:45pm

But of course, full coverage is given this Sunday to the GAA, whom I have absolutely nothing against.
Why can the BBC not treat both sports equally? They have a contract after all with the Northern Ireland Football League to show games.
