Replying To Overtheblackspot89: "What is going on with clubbers fixtures this week, no disrespect but who wants to watch Monaghan harps v Dohamlet and we won't talk about the senior games on this weekend shocking to say the least" I'm sorry,
But this comment smells of complete arrogance and a complete disregard of all club levels in the county.
Had we any trouble going to clones or croke park in the kast 10 years and watching lad like Colin Walshe and Neil Mc Adam putting on the county jersey.
If we are that interested in going to watch the senior game/games go to the venue itself and watch them.
GAA is about promoting the game at all levels and there more clubs in the county than the 10 senior clubs.
The teams in Intermediate and junior deserve as much respect.
And co nsidering Intermediate is the most wide open competition of the 3 levels this season, it's probably the most exciting to follow this year.

Replying To Kew: "Same as any star player makes a sport organisation millions that's why they get the big bucks. TV money, streaming buys, media coverage, social media impressions, game attendance etc it all builds up over a career" In Gaelic games people go to support a team, not an individual player and certainly not an opposition player.

Gaelic football was every bit as popular last year, before Kobe had kicked a ball in senior football. The new rules are what have made it far more interesting. By your logic, we should pay the FRC the big bucks.
The GAA isn't a for profit private sporting body. The vast majority of money made is distributed back to clubs and counties, infrastructure etc.

Replying To moros: "Yeah but the standard is way off. Any wins in the Connacht club championship in the last few years? Love to all." Yes agreed, one team winning all the time like St Brigids is very boring.

Replying To farneygael3: "Nobody said they are a bad team? It's just there 4th/5 team?" If people actually believe that's Scotstown's 4th team they need to give the head a wobble.

Replying To Seniorleague: "Theres a difference between not begrudging a player leavng the GAA to join the AFL and out and out glorifying it (i think one fella said earlier hes "delighted" to see them leave),,i dont begrudge them either but I hate whats happening,and would way rather they stayed,yet some on here, probably in an effort to appear open minded, cant comment on the issue without talking about how great it is that they're leaving .
The same people become a hell of a lot less open minded when a player dares to transfer club,however,while at the same time being totally in favour of managers changing clubs,if you can square that one.
Yes pay for play is not sustainable, and no ,i dont want it even if it was,but to applaud AFL bound GAA players for pursuing a professional sporting career while harshly criticising GAA players who might want the literal exact same thing makes no sense." We're hardly the only organisation that become a bit less open minded to players transferring club. Anyone who follows a bit of soccer knows that.... when Stevie Gerrard even entertained the idea of moving from Liverpool he received death threats. As for managers I'd prefer clubs went for managers within their own county however as we all know not every player who plays the game is cut out for management and therefore the pool of managers can be limited enough. I certainly don't want pay for play but I don't begrudge any player headed for AFL because I know we can do little about it (at the minute anyhow). I'm certainly not celebrating it.

The stream should cater for the majority not the minority. Facts are senior games are of a better standard, people like to watch the game played at the best level etc. there's a reason the senior games in the county draw the bigger crowds.
So, why not utilise the streaming to accommodate the same?
