Replying To Kew: "A lot of people don't even know the game is on. It's been a strange championship people don't seem too interested. I can't understand how going behind a pay wall is going to grow the game. Quarter finals and a lot of people don't know it's on. The rugby crowd know pay walls don't help the profile of the game." I can watch the euros and not our national sports on terrestrial TV today. The gaa can give a 100 excused and it will still be a bad look eslinchickenmaryland (Leitrim) - Posts: 274 - 29/06/2024 17:39:43 2555602 Link
Replying To eslinchickenmaryland: "I can watch the euros and not our national sports on terrestrial TV today. The gaa can give a 100 excused and it will still be a bad look" I paid €79 for a season's pass on GAAGO. That got me 38 games which works out at €2•07 a game which in any man's language is excellent value for money. I've just watched Armagh v Roscommon. The coverage was excellent. I'm now watching Italy v Switzerland and I'm looking forward to Dublin v Galway. It's your choice not to pay the money and no one else's.

And if I was living in an area with poor broadband which luckily I'm not your post would be irrelevant to me" But by your own admission you're not living in an area with poor broadband which means the post is entirely relevant. The reason you can't see the games is as a result of the choice that you made not to pay €79 for 38 games. That's entirely your prerogative. I'm watching the games and the coverage is excellent. I made a good choice. Greengrass (Louth) - Posts: 6144 - 29/06/2024 18:58:42 2555641 Link
GAA need to upload the Galway v Dublin game onto YouTube so people can watch that game. Disgraceful people missed out on that historical game Kew (Galway) - Posts: 100 - 29/06/2024 20:16:11 2555690 Link
Replying To eslinchickenmaryland: "I won't be paying for it thanks. I already pay the TV licence. And if I was living in an area with poor broadband which luckily I'm not your post would be irrelevant to me" So you won't pay 2 euro and a few cents to watch a game, unbelievable Lockerroomboy (Wexford) - Posts: 472 - 29/06/2024 20:22:23 2555696 Link

Not that long ago we had very little coverage of GAA, now between GAAGO, TRE, TG4 and BBC we have it all. Saynothing (Tyrone) - Posts: 2150 - 29/06/2024 20:49:22 2555720 Link
Replying To Saynothing: "GAAGO great value for money. Not that long ago we had very little coverage of GAA, now between GAAGO, TRE, TG4 and BBC we have it all." Will you stop. 12 euro is very expensive and it doesn't work well in rural areas. You would make a great green party politician. Sure we didn't have cars before so you don't need them now Kew (Galway) - Posts: 100 - 29/06/2024 21:08:25 2555728 Link
Replying To Kew: "GAA need to upload the Galway v Dublin game onto YouTube so people can watch that game. Disgraceful people missed out on that historical game" While you're at it why don't you e-mail them and ask them to pay for your time machine, YouTube to stream it live for free and a new keyboard while they fix your current worn out Whinger 2.0 model.

Replying To Kew: "Will you stop. 12 euro is very expensive and it doesn't work well in rural areas. You would make a great green party politician.

Sure we didn't have cars before so you don't need them now" Well done today, but I'm no green. €71 for 38 games isn't too bad. Saynothing (Tyrone) - Posts: 2150 - 29/06/2024 21:27:15 2555741 Link

You're part of the reason many elderly people can't watch the game but sure once you saw it that's grand eslinchickenmaryland (Leitrim) - Posts: 274 - 29/06/2024 21:50:48 2555757 Link
Replying To eslinchickenmaryland: "You're part of the reason many elderly people can't watch the game but sure once you saw it that's grand" Elderly people are watching more live GAA games on RTE now, than anyone before them ever did.

Replying To Cockney_Cat: "Elderly people are watching more live GAA games on RTE now, than anyone before them ever did." Dead right - for decades, the only live inter-county matches shown on RTE were the all-Ireland semi-finals and finals. We are spoilt for choice nowadays.

The Galway Dubs match should have highlights. RTE program not great tbh. galwayford (Galway) - Posts: 2565 - 29/06/2024 23:26:59 2555804 Link
Replying To Saynothing: "Well done today, but I'm no green. €71 for 38 games isn't too bad." 38 games but didn't show the Connacht semi final or the group game against Westmeath. Only 2 Galway games were on it and 1 was the quarter finals which should be on TV Kew (Galway) - Posts: 100 - 30/06/2024 02:16:41 2555834 Link
Replying To eslinchickenmaryland: "You're part of the reason many elderly people can't watch the game but sure once you saw it that's grand" I'll be sixty in November. I'm not that far off pension age myself. I can remember when nothing more than semi finals and finals were shown live on RTÉ and we were glad of it. Now there are over 200 hurling and football matches shown on free to air tv every year. Nobody complained back in the eighties because you could listen to the live matches on the radio when Mícheál Ó Hehir and Mícheál Ó Muircheartaigh God rest his wonderful described the action, . You are now complaining about what elderly people can't watch. They can now see way more live games than could ever see before on free to air tv. Stop exploiting what elderly people can and can not see and own your own decision. Greengrass (Louth) - Posts: 6144 - 30/06/2024 02:20:16 2555835 Link

Time machine? You do realise YouTube is available now it's not gone out of service? It's not a big job to upload the game so people can watch it back. most sports do it for promotion. You would swear you work on GAAGo they way you are going on Kew (Galway) - Posts: 100 - 30/06/2024 02:20:43 2555836 Link
