I was delighted when the GAA announced that for the GAA games where to be beamed live on Channel7 in Australia. However games in WA are delayed by at least an hour. Last nights hurling didnt start till 12.30am (5.30pm irish time). Im lead to believe that games are live in the eastern states.

Question is, why does the GAA continue to claim that games are live in Australia.
Does anyone know why this is?

Take it up with C7, the GAA cannot force them to show the games live, they have the rights to show them live.

I'm in Victoria and ye the games are mostly live.. The Tyrone match a couple of weeks ago was a little late coming on alright but that's been the only hiccup so far. Only found out today the Sky games are being aired on Channel 7 as well so I'm delighted!

As for the delayed broadcasts I'd say we both know what the answer to that one is; they don't give a f*** about the Irish or about anything Irish.

For my sport, I prefer Channel 8 - The Ocho!
