The Sky Sports News coverage of the GAA Championships has left a lot to be desired since they started broadcasting games in 2014.

While the match coverage has worked very well, with pundits like Jim McGuinness and Jamesie O'Connor, the coverage on the rolling news channel, has been littered with mistakes.
