All the talk of rugby and I wouldn't mind but Ireland are hardly mentioned only an amalgamated team touring New Zealand that means damn all to us, there was 6 GAA matches on show today Sky had the late game 7pm Leinster semi but RTE could have shown any of the other 5 games if they were allowed to, the worrying aspect of TV coverage is already the GAA are bending down to Sky with major games being played on Saturday evenings instead of the normal Sunday, they pulled this stunt with soccer in England where they told the Leagues we want a game on at 12 noon, 5pm, Monday nights, Friday nights and the Leagues had no choice but to buckle and the GAA will do the same, they are already starting to talk the talk, bladdering on about showing and promoting our games overseas, ya, how many non Irish throughout this world are watching our games, they may flick it on for a few mins then switch it back to their original channel when the ads are over. How many TV advertisements do you see along the sidelines about TV coverage of games like you see at soccer matches, none, neither RTE or Sky give a sh##e about promoting our games, they see it for ratings and a chance to cash in on a growing market. There are players from our top teams that are recognised in any part of Ireland but overseas nobody knows who they are yet when a soccer player sneezes it makes the papers and news all over the world. The GAA should realise it's they not the TV companies that call the shots, the GAA make the decision on the time not the TV companies

The vast majority of inter county players all prefer to play on Saturdays rather than Sundays for a start.
The recovery time from games these days usually means players end up having to take days off on Mondays following Sunday games so players as a whole have been calling for more Saturday games.

The gaa don't want too many live games showing cause they believe it will hurt attendance
Even if there was no confederations cup, rte still wouldn't have shown the games,
If anything the gaa want to cut back on live games showing

RTE are only irish channel with world cup so have to show confederations cup" Why do the bbc not have to show it? Tv3 had some euro games may have world cup games. Or even if rte have to show it why have a 3 hour programme with half an hour preview and half an hour post match analysis when the pundits don't have a clue about the players. Compare that to the seconds the gave to the connacht semI final today.

have made this point before and you are 100% correct - it would be great to see this back - with all matches getting shown in highlights rather than report format and show a good half hour of camogie - was at limerick v offaly last week excellent game

They claim to have got very good value for money. I have no problem by the way with RTE/ITV showing it especially in a quiet summer with no Olympics/Euros/World Cup. They may introduce a new panelist or two and it will also be a good rehearsal for the 2018 WC hosts Russia.

Then why would the gaa in their wisdom bring in a multinational broadcaster at an extra expense to supporters to see their team(s) in action.?

The big game on Saturday was that of Meath and Kildare, that game was part of the 14 match package that was taken from RTE and sold on to sky, before RTE can show any game, first they have to get the thumbs up and the green light from the gaa.

Not this again, how many more times will this topic come up, RTE are treating every sport fairly, the news reports what all of its viewers are interested in, a lot people are interested to hear how to rugby and soccer is going as well,

Replying To supersub15: "Or indeed the, "GAA-Sky Sports deal 'very troublesome and against ethos"'
Which was recently signed up to between the two parties for another 5 years and for a sum of 56 million euros, so anyone who doesn't have access to sky tonight for the Meath/Kildare match can twiddle their thumbs. Now, even if RTE wanted to televise the Meath/Kildare game they simply couldn't as it was "exclusive to sky." So now RTE apparently have to take a back seat and let the gaa/sky dictate to them what game they can or cannot televise live." It was the same last week for Wexford and Kilkenny and previously for Limerick and Clare

For god sake, RTE only have the rights to a certain number of games. Is it 31? So maybe if they had the rights to 32 games then they could have shown a game on Saturday, but they don't. We would all love if they showed every game possible every Saturday and Sunday from May til September but that's not part of the deal with the GAA
