You have concluded with you are looking forward "to their great games". So you have deliveried a judgement on something you have not seen!!! I rest my case Bernardo (Monaghan) - Posts: 611 - 26/04/2019 19:21:44 2180470 Link 0 |

Don't matter, there paying for rights, free to air or not, maybe GAA should have no tv deal because they are amatuer if that's your thinking , they're cheating the players wether it's RTE or Sky, the stars get none of the tv money

You address factually incorrect. The sane amount of games are free to air now as before sky got contact. This means the games sky got are extra. TV3 games must have gone back to rte. Should any be behind a pay wall is a valid argument. I think the gaa have done a good balancing job. In any event I'm sick of listening to rte pundits. Very little technical analysis. All generalisations and sweeping statements. But that's a different topic entirely! Mayonman (Galway) - Posts: 1920 - 26/04/2019 20:22:51 2180477 Link 0 |

I've no real issue with Sky, the GAA are entitled to sell their rights to whoever. MesAmis (Dublin) - Posts: 13795 - 26/04/2019 20:28:57 2180479 Link 5 |

Your missing a trick with Sky here lads. TheUsername (Dublin) - Posts: 4503 - 26/04/2019 21:22:54 2180484 Link 5 |

You've hit the nail on the head, I get sky sports for the gaa and they usually give me a deal of six months for the price of three and then I throw it out again in November .

Free to air after you pay the RTE tax do you mean? Paying for 5 or 6 pundits some nights, between hurling, camogie and football on the Sunday Game. Plus crew and presenters and they barely mention some counties never mind show a few minutes of them but give highlights of Saturday and Sunday games. With their revamped player hopefully they could put extra bits of games up there to watch. Sky too though could put up some highlights on their player and make make it available to non-Sky subscribers. Not sure but I think I heard Wooly say before they both have the rights to that and was wondering why they don't. In an age where you can opt for varieties of what you want to view online and what TV packages you choose from providers we should be given a choice how we share out our TV licence money rather than prop up Montrose. Let them sing for their supper like other stations and sell RTE if it keeps losing money.

Well you have done the same. There great line up of games is what I meant. However you have made up ur mind on them without ever watching it. Cause you too cheep to pay for it and want everything for nothing.

Totally agree. I mean aren't we all so lucky to be paying D'Arcy half a million. Don't see many complaining about that though. At least on sky you get value for money

The GAA went for the slightly higher in bid. More money in exchange for way, way less exposure seeing as a tiny amount of people are watching these games on Sky. That's the reality, good luck to Sky but these games were going to be broadcast in anyways and there is an argument, anger whether or not you choose to acknowledge it, that more exposure is worth more in the long term than slightly more money up front.

Arguably after 5 years this sky thing is still a contentious issue, it should be about opinion, not about ridicule. Bouncing sky off rte is nit picking, the real problem is the the decision makers in croke park, selling off games to sky when firstly it should have been put to the clubs and voted on accordingly. supersub15 (Carlow) - Posts: 3163 - 27/04/2019 16:26:54 2180549 Link 2 |

That's ridiculous tbh. The way you are so much a cheerleader for Sky it sounds like you are working for them! I dont have Sky and have no intention of getting it but I dont at all have an issue with Sky showing games. The more providers there are the better. And although I dont have Sky I will go to the pub to watch the games RTE arent covering so will end up paying more than if I had a subscription! But that's my choice....it's not about being a cheapskate.

I could pay for sky but I do not. Why should I bother coaching teams for free when we sell the rights of games to a company who want to make money? I buy lotto tickets, coach, buy dinner dance tickets and run people for free to matches. Some many people give so much in their life to the gaa and then the gaa sell the rights of games!
