Big ad for Sky there in the middle of the show.. And there was Joe acting all pious as if RTE wouldnt take Rupert Murdoch's money..

An Claidheamh

The Diaspora have been watching it on the internet for years.

They probably still will as most won't have Sky or will not go to/ be able to find a pub showing the matches.

Regardless of whether you care about Sky or not, this is a fact.

Yep - that's for commercial premises.

I was thinking it was a commercial rate, I thought he was talking about for him and his sons.

The only people that have it worse than the GAA, old people and country people are the publicans.

Dont watch the ugly game

but i look forward to how professional Sky will present it

Rachel Wyse? Craig Doyle? (Is that a rumour)

ThisRegard

Joe and Charlie may fall out here. Charlie challenging Joe on one of his little pet topics.

ThisRegard

The Sky Veto so to speak. FFS, it's nothing like a 'Sky veto', so to speak or not to speak you tool.

snubbleste

Honestly, you would think people are compelled by law to watch a gah match on a television

Lapin

Good points by Charlie.

Fair play to him.

As do the pubs and clubs in America, when I lived there the feckers used to charge to go in and watch the games.

First Up

If they are all such huge supporters of the GAA, would they not go to their local club to watch it? Or do GAA clubs not have Sky?

There also seems to be an assumption that if these games were not on Sky, they would be on RTE or some other free to air. Is that necessarily the case? Whatever the complaints about Sky (or any subscription channels) they have greatly expanded the range of events that get televised.

"Mona" brilliant name for a Liveline caller:D

ThisRegard

SKY DON'T HAVE A VETO YOU BLOODY ASS ! Saying it over and over doesn't make it true Joe.

CountyHurler

Eugene McGee is very unhappy with it and made very similar points to what Maureen just made in the newspaper today.. why is she unhappy with him.. I think she meant Nicky Brennan..

First Up

I would rather listen to this Liveline show than to Brian Carty howling his way through some game or other.

SEPT 23 1989

:pac:

ThisRegard

Ha ha, he can hear you caller, but that doesn't mean he's actually listening !

JONJO THE MISER

Boycott the GAA is the only way to do this.

I've been doing that for years and it hasn't changed anything. It's still there.

Ok.

So the only people who have it worse than the GAA, old people, country people, publicans, taxi drivers and the nurses are the teachers.
