What has that got to do with pay-per-view?

Didn't Clare and Dublin table a similar motion last year?

The only Gaelic football live on Saorview next summer will focus on the potential Super 8 teams.

A lot of people would miss the Saturday league games on Eir if this went through as well. if_in_doubt (Kildare) - Posts: 3685 - 14/12/2017 14:34:33 2065179 Link 0 |

People never seem to have a problem with the league matches on PPV (eir sport), but when sky got a small portion of games in there tv deal to show championship matches everyone flipped, going back to the point, Counties more powerful then Riscommon have tabled this motion and they failed, if they really wanted to show how against it they are I think counties should pull out of championship if they really want the gaa to listen PyatPree (Cork) - Posts: 376 - 14/12/2017 19:22:37 2065197 Link 0 |
Its a ridiculous motion. A joke it was even passed within the county

I personally am not a fan of any games being put on PPV tv. I don't like the idea of any sport being on PPV, especially amateur sport. The difference between sky and eir sport though is Eir sport brought a new service that was not being provided before. Sky bought one that was already on free to air tv. Sky and murdoch are not a nice company and I do not like the idea of them getting their hands on our games. Their analysis is no better than TV3s was. People are starting to see through their 'expert analysis' on soccer. gotmilk (Fermanagh) - Posts: 4971 - 15/12/2017 12:54:01 2065249 Link 0 |
There's a bit of, poor me in some of us, likewise there's a bit of, I'm all right jack in the rest of us, it's not the privilege we should have of watching some of our games on PPV, rather it's the principal of watching all our games on Saor View. supersub15 (Carlow) - Posts: 2904 - 15/12/2017 20:14:20 2065293 Link 0 |
Saorview isn't 'Saor' though. We have to pay for a licence where most of the money goes to RTE and most of that to RTE TV. They're out crying again looking for a licence fee increase and they're already government subsidised. We, at least, should have some say, based on our viewing preferences, channels, sports, how the licence fee should be spread around. There doesn't seem to be a shortage of cash on the Sunday Game. Between presenters and analysts some nights it seems there's about 10 and they're getting a nice few quid for it. And their football coverage mostly ignores Division 3 and 4 counties in League and Championship. No doubt they'll cash in on Super 8.
