Public sale now on ticketmaster for all the games except Armagh v Galway . Seanfanbocht (Roscommon) - Posts: 1420 - 07/06/2023 13:13:28 2484732 Link
Replying To galwayman2: "Has it been decided yet which games are on RTE and which are on GaaGo?" I'd say on the Sunday it will be Ros v Kildare or Dub v Sligo and Galway v Armagh judging by the throw in times? Maybe the Davy Burke factor will get the Ros/Kildare game the nod for TV D.Hyde (Roscommon) - Posts: 146 - 07/06/2023 14:56:24 2484767 Link
Replying To Seanfanbocht: "Public sale now on ticketmaster for all the games except Armagh v Galway ." Why have they gone for a smaller venue? legendzxix (Kerry) - Posts: 7856 - 07/06/2023 16:48:05 2484798 Link
Replying To legendzxix: "Why have they gone for a smaller venue?" Rumours Armagh wouldn't agree to the Hyde and Galway wouldn't agree to Breffni so something had to give. I recall being at games in Carrick with 14k there but I'm not sure what they're limited to nowadays. Seanfanbocht (Roscommon) - Posts: 1420 - 07/06/2023 17:53:33 2484813 Link
On that one - will be in Croatia that weekend. GaaGo not a problem - as there is a FireStick app for it. For games on RTE though - any recommendation of the best way to stream them abroad on a big screen tv - not a phone or tablet? I find the VPN doesn't work properly for me with RTE player & SkyGo only works on the phone or tablet. I believe the likes of SkyGo etc are blocked if you connect the phone to the tv via HDMI so that's not an option either. I don't have IPTV setup on the firestick at the moment as my home internet isn't fast enough to play without buffering. Cheers for any advice. galwayman2 (Galway) - Posts: 1241 - 07/06/2023 19:04:49 2484825 Link

Are you using the player through the app or Web page when using the VPN? I think you need to watch through Web page for VPN to work. However, I've run into bother then trying to cast it to the telly. On SkyGo, can that be cast to TV using Chromecast? MachaireConnacht (Roscommon) - Posts: 784 - 08/06/2023 08:08:41 2484862 Link
Ticketmaster/GAA must think Donegal and Monaghan are in the 6 Cos.....tickets for their game are £22 !!!!! Seanfanbocht (Roscommon) - Posts: 1420 - 08/06/2023 10:22:42 2484875 Link

However, I've run into bother then trying to cast it to the telly. On SkyGo, can that be cast to TV using Chromecast?" I tried both approaches with the RTE Player last year in Spain and neither worked. I'm fairly sure SkyGo is blocked when using the Chromecast. It seems it can be done in New Zealand only for some reason. I'd probably invest in a Chromecast if I could get it to work.. There is a SkyGo app for the Apple TV but I believe you need a multi room subscription to use it. I sideloaded SkyGo App onto the firestick but it never works - I've tried several variations and they all crash pretty much straight away on opening the app. galwayman2 (Galway) - Posts: 1241 - 08/06/2023 11:02:10 2484889 Link
2222, 2221, 2212, 2211 2122, 2121, 2112, 2111 1222, 1221, 1212, 1211 1122, 1121, 1112, 1111 Hurling can reverse fixtures because the groups are the same. Kerry played 3 home games in the McDonagh Cup last year and 2 home games this year. Football doesn't have this luxury as the groups are drawn each year. The solution is to give every county a home game rating for the previous 4 years. The 1st digit being the previous year, working back from there. When the groups are drawn, the two teams with the lowest home game rating are given the extra home game. A team would be very unlucky to go 3 years without an extra home game. A team on the other hand would be very lucky to have an extra home game for 3 consecutive years. legendzxix (Kerry) - Posts: 7856 - 08/06/2023 11:26:51 2484897 Link
Replying To Seanfanbocht: "Ticketmaster/GAA must think Donegal and Monaghan are in the 6 Cos.....tickets for their game are £22 !!!!!" It's being played in Omagh, so I thought it might just be the case that tickets for matches in the North are always priced in Sterling, no matter who's actually playing. But funnily enough, tickets for Tailteann Cup matches there this weekend (Fermanagh v Laois in Enniskillen, and Down v Longford in Newry) are all priced in euro.....

I think you can cast using NOW TV but maybe SkyGo is different. Chromecast is good and works for nearly everything bar the Virgin media player but I wasn't able to cast the BBC player when using a VP. Can you access your Sky subscription through Now TV?

Replying To giveitlong: "Galway and Armagh requesting a move to Croke Park, what's wrong with the Hyde" That's a lot nearer galway. Leitrim is just bad for both teams. If there was a better stadium in Mullingar or Navan it'd be there skirge7 (UK) - Posts: 251 - 08/06/2023 16:02:38 2484959 Link
Replying To giveitlong: "Galway and Armagh requesting a move to Croke Park, what's wrong with the Hyde" Teams with ambition want to play there. Difference between Galway and Armagh and teams that prefer whinging and perpetually losing i suppose. No matter where the games are played. Probably not make a lot of sense numbers wise. would it even get 20,000 as stand alone? BarneyGrant (Dublin) - Posts: 2565 - 08/06/2023 16:13:20 2484963 Link

They won't get more than 25,000 in Croker. Poor form by both county boards. Should be in Roscommon if it's to be moved. Temple56 (Westmeath) - Posts: 387 - 08/06/2023 16:18:12 2484966 Link
