Eir Sports coverage of leagues

(Oldest Posts First) - Go To The Latest Post


Great to see more games being covered. Some games do seem a bit bizarre however. Many counties in football division 2 are getting no coverage. Laois have a total of 5 live games broadcast across football and hurling, while Galway for example have none!

Couple of reasons. Laois happen to be playing a lot of saturday night games. More than any other team i think. Also portlaoise is very accessible venue.

All dublin games will be live with tg4 covering the rest so don't worry you can stay at home and put your feet up.

Although I will be in Portlaoise next weekend, its still nice to see the team get a bit of TV coverage. I understand why priority is given to the top two divisions, but the GAA media act as though, division 3 and 4 don't exist. Yet these same pundits are supposedly experts in the summer, despite not seeing half the teams in the country play.

Some of us have to work weekends but the radio and tv are a great substitute.Either way,there will be no action missed.

I said because of my job that i will miss Sunday's game but will not miss any action because there will be coverage on the radio and tv?What are you talking about,will there be no coverage of Roscommon on the radio?Or tv?I've said this many times over the years,i couldn't really care who's games are on tv.In hurling or football.I enjoy watching all teams play.

Fair enough but my point was that every dublin match is shown on tv, not the dubs fault but I just wish the tv companies would mix it up a bit.

I couldn't get Eirsport 1 or Eirsport 2 on mobdro last Saturday night. They seem to have disappeared off it but I tried Premier Sports (one of the sports channels on Mobdro) just now and it was showing Eir Sport 2. I hope it is doing the same next Saturday night as that is when Cork v Clare is on.

The Premier Sports on Mobdro is the same as Eir Sports 2 HD. So I'd imagine it'll be showing the Kerry - Mayo game. It showed the Mayo - Monaghan game at the weekend which was on Eir Sports HD. No sign of Eir sports 1 or 2 on Mobdro for a while now

Says link that Cork v Clare is on Eir Sport 2. Dublin v Tipp and Dublin v Tyrone is on Eir Sport 1.
