Ah if itâs Milton itâll be grand
Itâll be garbage.
100% going to end up in a format of:
2 mins pre-match coverage
Highlight package at half-time
Post-match coverage ends almost immediately
At the start of the GAA Go Championship stuff theyâll try the âstudioâ based analysis, but they genuinely wonât be making any revenue off that so will cut it
In saying the above, some people just want the match purely and none of the in-studio stuff
Iâm sure Alanâs crack team in HQ have an incredible package lined up.
Larry was very confident theyâd make it work there before Christmas.
They must be so confident, they didnât feel the need to do a trial run during the League.
The fact they havenât done any more promotional stuff for it is fairly alarming. If they were highly confident in it, theyâd be pushing it like mad. Instead, theyâve stayed quiet about it which is concerning.

They tried flogging it for a knock down price at Christmas didnât they?
Championship starts tomorrow week and nothing from them since. Sounds ominous but I would hate to question the work of top, top Administrators like Milton, Larry and Tom Ryan.
Hopefully with a backing track of soft Celtic-style music, followed by a two minute segment of a webcam style shot of the pitch with a low volume hum from the crowd over it, at the end of which you can audibly hear the commentators picking up their microphones again 15 seconds before the ball is thrown in to start the second half.

Iâd say theyâre happy that the quality of the product will sell itself.

Generally, if it doesnât have a strong uptake from the get-go, itâll never kick-on properly (extreme example of LIV Golf. Really poor start, and no matter who theyâve gotten since, thereâs been no traction).
GAA really needed to plough into advertising GAA Go before Championship, but they genuinely havenât. By now itâs too late I think, and theyâll just end up with the majority doing a âah sure Iâll watch the highlights on the Sunday Gameâ
This exactly haha
I think you have to really really trust in the brains trust of Alan Milton here.
I only realised the other day while listening to a podcast that I havenât a clue of what the format is for the football championship this year
Whoâs going to watch all that football anyway?
Canât imagine thereâs any hunger for it to be honest ha
How long is The42.ie paywall up?
âŹ60 a year for what exactly?
Minto was in good form yesterday - he looks like a man who has all in order before championship starts. The benefit of a split season I suppose
I wonât be paying it but their match reports are generally excellent.
Itâs the same format as Euro '96. If Euro '96 had allowed 3 teams progress from the groups, rather than 2. Which it didnât.
If Euro '96 was the 2023 All-Ireland football championship, it would have worked as follows:
A1 England
A2 Holland
A3 Scotland
B1 France
B2 Spain
B3 Romania
C1 Germany
C2 Czech Republic
C3 Italy
D1 Portugal
D2 Croatia
D3 Denmark
Round of 12 (with only 8 participants)
Holland v Romania - winners Holland
Spain v Scotland - winners Scotland
Czech Republic v Denmark - winners Czech Republic
Croatia v Italy - winners Italy
Round of 8 (with 8 participants)
England v Czech Republic - winners England
France v Italy - winners Italy
Germany v Holland - winners Holland
Portugal v Scotland - winners Scotland
Round of 4
England v Scotland - winners Scotland
Italy v Holland - winners Italy
Round of 2
Italy v Scotland - winners Scotland

GAA on the INTERNET has never improved on the formula of the RTE GAA Media Player and live INTERNET only coverage of Wexford v Meath in 2008. That was as good as it ever got.
