Replying To Dothesimplethingswell:  "Its not free but at €160 per year we get a lot of content, documentaries, +1, Radio etc and the GAA games we used to all watch. Rte is not the problem here... they are providing coverage of the world cup and we dont have to pay extra..Mmm. I remember as a child being told that the GAA meant grab all association...Well of course I didnt believe it. Isn't childhood innocence a marvelous thing"
Was that last week?

You must work for the channel. Overly defensive throughout the thread

Replying To Square_B:  "I bet if RTE said they'd be increasing the price of the TV licence to pay for all the GAA you think they should be showing (because of course everyone watches GAA... ), you'd be crying about that too. Can't win with ye lot."
Well you know if they increased the tv licence we'd be getting the gaa, world cup soccer and rugby, the euros, club rugby, champions league the list goes on with sport plus all the other programmes as well...Gaa+ charges over half the tv licence fee but all we get are gaa games...what % of rtes full years broadcasting would that be?? Id day a fraction of 1%... If GAA+ charges is it €95 per season (very short) then why shouldn't €95 of tv licence bearing fenced for showing GAA matches??? Logic?

This is supposed to be a discussion forum. Not a reactionary forum to other people's points. If you dont like my view then fair enough but cant you make a counter argument?

You can count me into the free loaders bracket, every 31st January we head to Leitrim for the raw materials to make St Brigid's crosses. Farmer says we can cut away till our hearts content.
