What should happen is that they split the rights between RTE, Virgin, BBC and TG4.
Give RTE and Virgin two lives games a weekend each but both need to have at least one preview show and one highlight show a week.
Give TG4 two games as well but one has to be a Joe Mcdonagh or Tailtainn cup match. Give the BBC the rights to the Ulster championship and the opportunity to simultaneously show any ulster side in the all Ireland series.
Stick anything else up on GAA go and away you go.
I find myself nodding vigorously in agreement with those thoughts.
Tipp - Clare at 4pm tomorrow should be on free to air TV.
Its a disgrace that its behind a paywall to be honest. I’ll have it on the radio on the way home from Thurles but I’d like to have recorded it and be able to watch it back in full tomorrow evening.
Yeah I agree. It was depressing as fuck watching it on small screen on my phone. Wife was badgering me to go out and cut the grass and I had good mind to.
Extended highlights packages should be up on YouTube of all games too.
I remember in primary school staying up on a Sunday evening late for the Sunday game was a thing. People just don’t watch tv like they used to.
€78 for the season is very steep to hear a commentator repeatedly call Conor Foley “Cathal Foley”. The lack of analysis at half-time in the Sligo v New York game was shocking too.
Money going directly to the GAA, to fund the growth of the game in…[checks notes]….Dublin
Bollocks
The thing is my parents can access Sky. Their internet is so diabolical (rural broadband me hole) that I doubt GAAGo will hold up for them. As it turns out, they now have to go to a funeral in Kilkenny so I’d say my father will be probably watch it in a pub in Clonmel on way home. My father hates watching games in pubs and I’d say he will refuse to do so for the Cork game.
I went in to buy the game for tomorrow (I’m only able to make the two matches in Thurles in the round robin). You can get credits whereby you get three games across the championship for price of two so I’ve done that to cover the Clare and Cork games and something else over course of championship.
I also know the argument will be ‘well not every game was always on telly and if you want to watch it, just go to it’ etc. But I think the idea of it actually being on somewhere on a screen but you not being able to access it is inherently against notions of inclusivity and access for all.
What did you watch? I was flicking between Liverpool and hurling but Hickey and Cadogan gave alright analysis. Helped that i had it on tv tho.
GGA Go is gonna to be a massive money pit. There are not enough supporters to sustain it.
It hope it’s the noose that hangs Milton
This is hardly a surprise. Production is expensive (but ignored) by many.
Previously the GGA got this at a song via Sky Sports for many fixtures, now it needs to be funded.
Combined with the split season the GGA have made a balls of their commercial operations in the last few years. Are they drunk?
Amateurs
What analysis of it did you need?
Can you share the GAAgo access? Can more than 1 person be logged in and watching same game?
I think it’s two. I had logged on to two devices yesterday and it stopped me from putting it on a third one, although I wasn’t streaming from both at the same time
How did GAAGO work for the mass population today?
Was enjoying a feast of football in O’Moore Park am afraid mate
