Did anyone else try to watch fight today on RTE player?

It wouldnt work for me at all. Worked for a few seconds before fight and then went dead. Would not refresh at all
 
If you're outside the UK download a program called 'expat shield' if you want to watch content on BBC iplayer, 4od etc.
 
RTE have promised it will be working this afternoon up to and after 4.45pm

I dont believe, but we shall see
 
Yup, crashed for us too so we watched it on UTV online

I'm nervous today - fingers crossed she can do it!!!
Then let her retire at the top, build a statue to her in Bray and give her some sports ambassador role for Ireland.
What a legend she is.

Her fight on Monday was not accessible on RTE Player. Her fight yesterday was not accessible either. I would not rely on it being accessible today.

I use a free app that provides the BBC feed. Means you don't have to suffer Jimmy 'different class' Magee either .

Well done Katie Taylor!
The only world class athlete we have.

Define world class?

(Not disputing that she's world class, just the "only" part - is Cian O'Connor not a world class showjumper, or Barnes, Nevin and Conlon world class boxers...)

OK, only "best in the world" athlete we have.
 
In my mind, anyone who obtained the Olympic qualifying standard in their sport is world class. They are in a tiny minority of people who are that good. I can never understand why after the olympics, the Irish start slating their athletes especially in areas like swimming and track & field. Someone like Sonia o'Sullivan comes along in this country once in a generation if we are lucky. I applaud anyone who represented us at the games. It takes some talent and some commitment. Not saying you are doing that purple but people will!

I realise that Roy Keane would punch me.
 
Absolutely Sunny. All our Olympians are world class and we still have 3 more boxers going for gold so we could still have 4 "best in the world" athletes. But Katie is certainly very very special and someone we can all be very proud of. Mind you she didn't need to leave it quite so tense at the end!
