The question I axed was why some Television Stations ( That are seen in all of Ireland ) dont show more Gaa games. Is it No 1 because Gaa is predominately played by the working class No2 Rugby players and supporters tend to be of a certain social standing No3 As for parents of Children that play Soccer well all think that lettle Mary and Jonny will be Maranonas tomsmith (Cavan) - Posts: 3604 - 21/05/2023 12:24:03 2479938 Link 0 |
They dont show them because of the rights deal class has nothing to do with anything to do with this KillingFields (Limerick) - Posts: 3065 - 21/05/2023 14:28:40 2479966 Link 0 |

Don't confuse games on TV with the heartbeat of a community. If there never was another Gaelic game shown on TV, it'd make no difference at all to the GAA where I live - not in the slightest.

Tom, Killing fields is a Munster/Irish rugby phrase used to describe the sport of rugby played in Limerick. Plenty of violence on the pitch, is the meaning of it.

Galwayford Tomsmith here As a senior poster also you never speak but you say something sensible. Killing fields ( ough what ahandle that poster posts under from Limerick) is associacted with aparticular part of Ireland all right. But what I ( who come from the home of good Gaa ie Cavan) was saying is that some stations show far more other field sports other than Gaa. Gaa is the life blood of the local community in all Parishes in Ireland and to move to another Club is a no no. tomsmith (Cavan) - Posts: 3604 - 23/05/2023 09:10:57 2480746 Link 0 |
What stations show more other sports than the GAA and you do know stations can only show what they are contractually obilged to show

Tomsmith here Dillingfields Co Limerick I have to use your Killing Fields handle that you post some things under.. Why is it the TV 3 Virgin media 1 or Virgin Media 2 or indeed Virgin media 3 dont show much Gaa. Is it because the Gaa is aworking class persons game ?? I dont know but sure Tommy knows all the Lads and its easier to get pannelists to come on from the Oval ball brigade . tomsmith (Cavan) - Posts: 3604 - 25/05/2023 08:47:51 2481416 Link 0 |
Virgin media doesnt show games because theyre not entitled to show any because they didnt win any rights the last time the rights went up for tender.
