Replying To BarneyGrant: "Spillane on podcast is not impressed.
All Ireland football finalists of last year not on and in meantime some O'Byrne Cup rugby competition on in Croke Park. Spillane reckons it be half empty. No idea but they seem to be able to sell all sorts of junk on basis that the eventers who follow Lunster get to use our facilities for the day.
Not worth a bob to local businesses by the way as very few of them like the sort of Dublin their old folks have created through turning northside into Rotheram." Dick Clerkin has different thoughts. Pat seems to go on a clickbait rant every week and in fairness raises a few good points now and then but looking to raise his own profile. Seems a happy man to pay for a mandatory TV licence and call RTE TV 'free to air'. Very good pod though, with both of them and Michael Verney. Is it the best free to air national GAA podcast?

I see GAA+ have some 49 euro mid season pass. They'll want to have the 4 preliminary quarter-finals at different times for that to be anyway attractive. The football provincial championship isn't setup to make the GAA+ season ticket attractive in big numbers. Cork v Kerry, Tyrone v Cavan and Meath v Dublin were on GAA+. All had the safety net of being through to the All Ireland. Even more importantly for match day attendances and good vibrant championship days out, the losers should have a hurdle or two to jump to qualify.

He is probably the most famous face in the country when it comes to football and has been that way for nigh on 50 years now.
He'll be soon able to have a free tv licence btw so I'm sure he's speaking as someone who knows people of his era might not be tech savvy and wouldn't have the knowledge of obtaining gaapaywall to see the games

Hopefully, but unlikely, some podcast will get a reps from RTE, GAA+ and GAA to explain reasoning behind having some games not on GAA+ and why some were on RTE or TG4. Are GAA offering some games or not, are they happy with RTE coverage of live games or is it purely to drive up GAA+ revenue?

It's a deliberate downgrading of the games. Look at symbolism of tomorrow. Some mickey mouse event while All Ireland champions v last years finalists completely unmarketted.
Association is run by people who have no more feeling for it than if they were running a bank or paint factory.
They regard it as asset rich company to be used by anyone. They even had an asylum contract!

Replying To Magpie2: "Don't agree. Gaa+ always use at least 2 cameras for all of the games. Well any of the games I've watched. Clubber on the other hand always use just one camera and terrible comentators. They also charge more and of course loads of ads." Update --- watched Dublin v Derry last night . GAA+ had 3 cameras at the game. One for close ups. One for a wider angle and one behind one of the goals. It is true however that some of the games I watched back had just the one camera. I would imagine that as the knockout stages are with us now we will see GAA+ using multi cameras.

On Sunday - what's stopping GAA+ showing Louth v Clare at 2 and Tyrone v Cavan at 4?" Common denominator is, too many games squeezed into a too short timeframe. 8 top games on the 1 weekend is too much. Roll on 2027.

County boards should put in a motion that if gaapaywall aren't covering their home championship games live on the stream then they have the opportunity to stream the games themselves and keep the funds...or give some to the opposing side as well.
The tv coverage issue is bad enough but the fact newstalk lost the rights to the radio broadcasts they had and rte got exclusive national coverage on that was an absolute disaster. They were more interested in a mickey mouse rugby game than championship games
