Is it going to become a channel on the Sky Box or is it a case of having to start up a laptop and login and all that?

Looks like a new joint venture between @Bang and @Copper_pipe…

Bang has had GAAGO from when it started.

801

I’m thinking of normal punters who don’t have access to Bang.

802

Not having access for pubs is very small time. Streaming doesn’t work. Amazon have a deal with DirectTV for Thursday Night Football in the US but it still means many bars can’t show the games (as they use another service).

Given they are tied in with RTÉ, this is a laughable oversight really.

The pricing is gas. They obviously reckon they’ll sell a fair few now for 59 euro as panic buys for Christmas gifts etc

I reckon they’ll drop it back a good bit from 79 euro by the time April comes round.

805

Are they carrying many league games on the package?

806

Championship only by the look of it. Clare have been relegated to online for three of their four MSHC matches.

I don’t know. They’d nearly have said it if they were.

Back during Covid they used to show games in the league. I remember trying to watch a Clare v Wexford game on the phone but it was a complete waste of time.

808

Of course it was broadband hasn’t reached Chippabama yet

If you buy a year pass will you be able to stream the games at any time? That was a thing with GAAGo previously, you could watch back at any time at your leisure.

The three next things for GAA Go to do:

  1. A highlights package. More akin to TG4’s offering than The Sunday Game - i.e., focused on highlights rather than personality tictacs.

  2. Remake Breaking Ball

  3. Either somehow get included in Sky / Vodafone / Eir TV offerings or supply an app that can be installed on shmart TVs like Netflix, Now, Amazon etc.

I have a warm fuzzy feeling that the days of Des Davy and Derek will soon be behind us, and not just because Des has quit either.

This might be of interest to some forumites later on this bleak Mid Winter Monday night.

I half contemplated going to it but having drank vintage champagne in Croke Park yesterday, i didnt quite fancy Table Wine in Castletroy tonight.

812

Were you in Croke Park yesterday ?

You never said

Rhys Shelly should be Tipp’s number 1 next year.

Who’s this Mike fella on co commentary?

Surprised Cormac Power from Ballygunner is playing in this and not on the piss after yesterday.

814

Did you not hear him talking about Shesler and Rustler?
