the popular TG4 sports show has been axed. Rumour has it that the new Director of TG4, Alan Esslemont doesn't believe in Studio panel shows. Hence the reason. Also I would presume Mr Esslemont is not a GAA man. galwayford (Galway) - Posts: 2519 - 11/02/2017 13:06:29 1954701 Link 0 |

And? The show is subtitled anyway...

GAA needs TG4. Is é mo thuairm go bhfuil TG4 an tábhactacht. galwayford (Galway) - Posts: 2519 - 11/02/2017 15:09:16 1954734 Link 0 |
The charade that is TG4 needs to be called out. It's a massively subsidised Gaelgoir tummy tickle. People only watch it for the sport and even then they don't offer an option to listen to commentary in Hiberno English which is the country's language. Stop the subsidies now. bloodyban (Limerick) - Posts: 1710 - 11/02/2017 15:18:09 1954739 Link 3 |

This is a typical "bloodyban" reply. Limerick seems to have a lot of anti Gaelic types. Maybe it has something to do with the fact the GAA are so weak in the county. I am surprised too given the amount of Guinness Rugby matches on TG4 that Mr BB is against the Irish language. galwayford (Galway) - Posts: 2519 - 11/02/2017 15:57:26 1954755 Link 0 |
He's 'besties' with Arlene Foster.

Don't worry Bloodyban's views are not shared by many Limericks people.

Ceapim go bhfuil Seó Spóirt ró-chostasach, agus s'é an fáth go bhfuil siad sásta deireadh a chur don chlár. Is íontach an chlár í Seó Spóirt. Cathfaidh TG4 í a choinneáil ar an aer. Mar a dúirt duine amhain tá fo-teidil in úsáid ar an chlár ar aon nós. Is féidir le daoine gan Gaeilge sult a bhaint as an gclár freisin. * I think Seó Spóirt is regarded as being too costly, and that's the reason they are happy to end the programme. Seó Spóirt is an excellent programme. TG4 must keep it on air. As one person said it uses subtiltles anyway. Non-Irish speakers can enjoy it also.* PatdeVerse (Dublin) - Posts: 107 - 12/02/2017 10:44:58 1955042 Link 1 |
That's a pity, always thought is was a decent show. Bon (Kildare) - Posts: 1908 - 12/02/2017 11:45:00 1955068 Link 0 |
I'd say the majority (maybe even all) the people who watch Seó Spóirt can speak, read and probably even write as Béarla.

A great show and I hope it can be saved. KingdomBoy1 (Kerry) - Posts: 14092 - 12/02/2017 12:16:10 1955084 Link 0 |
It is an excellent show. Last Frifay night the panel covered hurling and football, plus the rugby. Imagine that happening in RTE, you would have 2 shows, with separate panels. thelongridge (Offaly) - Posts: 1741 - 12/02/2017 12:25:34 1955089 Link 1 |
But the whole point of the station and its content is to provide Irish language programming for Irish speakers and to promote the Irish language. To have the petition in English defeats the entire concept and goals of the station

Ba cheart Seó Spóirt a choimeád, agus is cuma cén teanga a leabhraítear ar an seó. Tacaí Liatroma (Leitrim) - Posts: 1029 - 14/02/2017 13:40:04 1956642 Link 1 |
