Was a nice surprise when I got home earlier.
I believe this will be the case going forward for them. Some kind of “sub contract” or the like.

We are proud to announce we have secured rights to broadcast live AIB GAA Football & Hurling Club Championship games for the next 5 years.
TG4 still retain rights to its Sunday games. The deal is not exclusive.
I wonder what games eir will get then, the Dublin Championship is ripe for the picking you’d feel.

Eir’s sports package is decent enough; I think televising more club matches is a great thing.
Bit by bit, more and more games going to paid services however. Sure, eir is free if you have eir broadband, but thats not the case for all. These games weren’t shown anyway, and thats fair enough. I’m not lamenting it, or complaining, but it is happening, and its a drip feed approach. Be interesting to see where this ends up.

I thought your neverending point is that it does not have a soul?
Nope
My point is that its a minority rural sport invented by the brits
That’s football, mate.
And hurling
I’ve schooled you on this before and posted a number of newspaper articles that disprove this - Hurling is an age old sport in Ireland given to us over 2000 years ago.
Football is soccer/rugby with hurling rules applied.

More photos of poor muldoons squeezing together in the front room to watch a bunch of farmers and teachers run around a field on the tv doing their hobby.
As more people wake up to this racket the GGA’s support will continue to dwindle.

Italy invented Calcio
Hurling wasn’t invented by the Limeys.
