Good Lord - we all give out about the Championship and now we're looking for a Championship channel Ban (Westmeath) - Posts: 1415 - 05/05/2016 20:57:32 1852449 Link 0 |
Agree with Ban. The championship in Gaelic football is pure rubbish until August. Inter county hurling is awful to watch - the most cynical foul ridden sport on the planet. bennybunny (Cork) - Posts: 3917 - 05/05/2016 21:49:47 1852461 Link 0 |

For enthusiasts like most of the people on here, a dedicated GAA channel would be great. MuckrossHead (Donegal) - Posts: 5028 - 06/05/2016 10:34:55 1852493 Link 0 |
i can say hand on heart if say Carlow were playing Sligo in a Qualifier and it was live on TV, I would watch it with just as much gusto as if it were say Down and Armagh or Cork and Kildare etc Liamwalkinstown (Dublin) - Posts: 8166 - 06/05/2016 11:37:34 1852520 Link 0 |
What about hurling Liam?Are you a fan of the small ball game?I echo your sentiments.I cannot get enough of both games.There is some misery guts out there.Benny,didn't you say a while back that you couldn't care less about Cork meeting Tipp in a few weeks?It's a sad day when a Cork man says that.I'll try get down to that game myself.If Cork v Tipp in Thurles can't stir the emotions,your better off sticking to your local club games. cuederocket (Dublin) - Posts: 5084 - 06/05/2016 11:55:42 1852526 Link 0 |

Both Bennybunny and myself have expressed the opinion that this would not be a good idea based on the quality of the competition and the lack of competitive matches - Treads are created so people can express an opinion - and a good opinion is one which is backed up with reason.

Lads,i presume it would be easier and more cost effective to have a proper radio show dedicated to GAA than a tv channel.I don't think there is a need for a GAA tv station. cuederocket (Dublin) - Posts: 5084 - 06/05/2016 14:44:30 1852589 Link 0 |
I am of the same opinion as Liam here. If there was a round one qualifer game being shown live on tv and I had nothing better to be doing at that particular time, I would gladly watch it. HandballRef (Donegal) - Posts: 520 - 06/05/2016 15:21:25 1852601 Link 0 |
Look I know this is just a place for random ideas but why would they have a tv channel? Why not move it online? I see a lot of county boards are doing stuff through Periscope. Do any of you use it? It can be quite frustrating but also quite useful. I watched a right bit of the u21 ulster final on it. It's a bit bouncy on the mobile but i think that was due to the fact it's a fella on an iphone. The NFL are broadcasting Thursday night games on twitter, why don't the GAA look into something like this? gotmilk (Fermanagh) - Posts: 4971 - 06/05/2016 15:49:03 1852613 Link 0 |
HandballRef - I would still watch the night program of the Sunday Game. I've just decided that I'm not getting the return from sitting down and watching these games live. 2 hours is allot for me on a Sunday or Saturday - I have of a young family and interests of my own so giving up this time to watch a game like Carlow and Sligo in a qualifier wouldnt be a high priority.

Wouldn't cost them a whole pile? Easily done? There is barely any sport on RTE now because they can't afford it. And the commentators/ pundits etc do not come cheap so not sure what your finance plan is. And while I do watch most of the games and enjoy the Saturday ones as well, the fact is the viewing figures are no good. TheFlaker (Mayo) - Posts: 7908 - 06/05/2016 21:26:29 1852670 Link 0 |

Liam,are you talking about a 24 hour GAA TV station,seven days a week?No way there's a market for that. cuederocket (Dublin) - Posts: 5084 - 07/05/2016 12:07:49 1852712 Link 0 |
