In my opinion this is great, Eir sports will have great coverage I think. It is a great chance for clubs and players to get the recognition they deserve. oakleafersir (Derry) - Posts: 808 - 25/08/2017 11:22:06 2037466 Link 2 |

Does this deal have any effect on the TG4 coverage of finals & inter-provincials? Will Eir have full coverage now or will TG4 kick in later in the autumn as before?

Good to see that Eir are in touch with grassroots GAA. It seems RTE are concentrating on the Super 8 counties and ignoring a big chunk of a potential TV audience. GreenandRed (Mayo) - Posts: 7290 - 25/08/2017 14:05:39 2037578 Link 0 |
I think TG4 have first dibs on county finals still. But they never showed quarters or semis anyway so it's win win. The more games the better.

I find it disgraceful that its not free to air, what about the people who can't see it, sell outs as usual, i dont see people complaining like the sky deal, or is it simply because sky is british PyatPree (Cork) - Posts: 376 - 25/08/2017 17:54:06 2037679 Link 0 |
In all fairness we have 4 irish broadcasters all along they neglect the league and club provincial championships bar tg4 and in fairness tg4 has being doing their bit for club coverage i do not have eir sport but i wudnt begrudge them if they are willing to show more club games it is giving the average club player something to look forward to. their game being shown live on tv and to give them a bit of coverage mrsme (USA) - Posts: 172 - 25/08/2017 19:34:41 2037711 Link 0 |
Who would show it free-to-air and how would they pay for it?
