Don’t touch that dial… here’s the sport on TV this weekend

Let’s be honest, it’s probably going to rain all weekend anyway. Just turn the phone off and drag the duvet down the stairs.
  • One to sit in for: It’s Irish domestic soccer’s showpiece game on Sunday afternoon and if Pat’s v Derry is anything like the last few, this will be worth a watch.
  • One to Sky+: Falcons at the Cowboys is the late on on Sunday but I need my beauty sleep as certain commenters like to tell me.
  • One to skip: Snooker can chill out til 2013 if you ask me.
