    My apologies then, it was stated elsewhere that it was not.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,121 ✭✭✭Paddico


    Anyone know why not all the matches are available on GAAGO.

    Even the McGrath cup games in Munster were available and its really only a warm up tournament for the league



  • Registered Users Posts: 5,719 ✭✭✭dr.kenneth noisewater


    Resources I'd say, 16 games a week in the football and 17 in hurling is too much for them to cover I'd guess



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,121 ✭✭✭Paddico


    A few quid to be made off it I'd say though.

    The camera work n commentary for the McGrath cup was far from world class



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,570 ✭✭✭celt262


    Earlier in the week it wasn't available i'm pretty sure as i checked when posters queried it been available in ROI on the BBC Player.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,949 ✭✭✭Charles Babbage


    I do not think it will be available on iPlayer, nothing is. It may be available from the website streaming, but they are advertising the iPlayer and hardly mentioning the website, so this will cause confusion.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,570 ✭✭✭celt262


    Just to be clear on what i meant it wasn't available in ROI on GAAGO earlier in the week it is now.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 27,290 ✭✭✭✭breezy1985


    There is a good chance we simply don't have 30+ camera teams (even bad ones) in Ireland.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,949 ✭✭✭Charles Babbage


    There is a lack of clarity and there isn't any reason that shoud be the case as presumably all this was discussed when the deal was made. The opening weekend of the league should be given some prominence and this game will as good as any.

    Games available on GAA Go this weekend. €12 a game (steep enough IMO). Season ticket €79.

    Only the Monaghan and Armagh game is available in Ireland. The rest are geoblocked.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 27,290 ✭✭✭✭breezy1985


    Are they on Irish TV ?

    GAAGo are always locked for games on terrestrial.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,385 ✭✭✭franglan


    Does that GAAGO screengrab mean that TG4 will live stream the Sunday games they are showing as deferred coverage on their TV channel? Ros Tyrone and Cork Meath?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,115 ✭✭✭Boom__Boom




  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,152 ✭✭✭Billy Ocean


    Yeah RTE have Mayo/ Galway, tg4 have Dublin/kildare and donegal/ Kerry.roscommon/Tyrone and cork/meath live on either tg4 player or their YouTube channel, both are shown deferred on TV.

    I have no problem paying to watch football and hurling as i have bought gaago season pass.

    But the gaa is suppouse to be all ireland sports body so how they justify an armagh supporter being able to watch the game tonight on bbcplayer free of charge but a monaghan supporter living a few hundred meters over the border has to pay €12 to watch it.

    Surley the gaa coud have got rte to show BBCNI coverage on rte news channell?



  • Posts: 0 [Deleted User]


    Monaghan v Armagh is blocked on the BBC iPlayer here in the RoI. Must say I think this is very unfair for Monaghan people who can’t get to the game and are forced to fork out €12 to watch it on GAA Go, while their neighbours in Armagh can watch it for free on the iPlayer.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,909 ✭✭✭Coillte_Bhoy


    Get a free VPN and watch BBC Player, its pretty simple to do.

    Goal of the season by James Carr there 🤣



  • Posts: 0 [Deleted User]


    I did. Was watching it until the Mayo Galway game started. Not everyone would know how to do this however. Just think its odd that a 32 county body like the GAA would allow its TV coverage to be determined by the border.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,339 ✭✭✭howiya


    Why would the GAA want to put it on rte news for free? Would totally undermine the GAAGo product.



  • Posts: 0 [Deleted User]


    I think the point is though that the border has now determined how you can watch a GAA game. If a game is on RTE or TG4 its blocked on GAA Go on an all island basis which is ok by me. Whats happened with Monaghan v Armagh has set a new precedent IMO.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,339 ✭✭✭howiya


    Of course it's OK with you that games shown on RTE or TG4 are blocked on GAAGo because they're available to you for free elsewhere.

    I've just logged into GAAGo there. The Monaghan Armagh game wasn't blocked anywhere. So a 32 county organisation has the same rules for me as it does for someone in Armagh.

    The difference is that on behalf of those living in Armagh and the other five counties the BBC have decided to purchase the rights on their behalf. And what the BBC decide to do with those rights is their own business.

    I know people have mentioned the 12 euro a game but the season ticket is savage value. Was 59 for the introductory offer. 79 now and I got 10% off with my gaa membership.

    The reality is that there will always be people who want something for nothing but I think they're well catered for with five games on free to air TV this weekend.



  • Posts: 0 [Deleted User]


    Don’t think that people wanting something for nothing is what’s at issue here. I’m not from Monaghan, so what’s happened with that game isn’t affecting me. Monaghan supporters had no choice but to pay to watch while Armagh supporters didn’t. This amounts to unequal treatment IMO.

    Yes, the season ticket is great value. Think €12 a game is a bit much though.

    The season ticket is great value but you said you watched it for free via a vpn earlier...

    It's exactly people wanting something for nothing.



  • Posts: 0 [Deleted User]


    Yep, used a VPN and will continue to do so. Not sure if you’re seeing my point though. Up to now everyone on the island watched a game on RTE, TG4, Sky etc and either paid to watch or saw it for free as one body of fans. Whether you were in the RoI or NI it didn’t matter. The GAA by allowing games on the iPlayer have changed this. I don’t think it’s a good thing going forward.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,385 ✭✭✭franglan


    Watched the Monaghan Armagh game on GAAGO, didn't have any replays (would have been handy for the Began lockout mistake) rather had the GAAGO cut away either side of the presumed replay on the BBC feed. Lazy stuff, why not have the replay? I know this thread is the live tv one but the email from GAAGO saying their app isint ready but sure look it it'll be ready in a week or two. You had since you know July to sort. It's their own business but have said no thanks to 7 million from sky with the added comfort of zero production costs and can't get the app together for their second most important competition...



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,339 ✭✭✭howiya


    I do get your point. You don't think you should have to subscribe to GAAGo to watch certain matches just because they're covered by the TV licence fee in another jurisdiction.

    And you're up to now example is untrue. Until eir folded a large number of people were not able to access games broadcast by eir because they wouldn't provide access to their channels to Virgin Media customers. In the past games would be broadcast that people couldn't access even if they wanted to pay for them. Tonight anybody who wanted to watch Monaghan V Armagh could.

    There'd probably be uproar from half the community up north if the BBC were showing GAA on either BBC NI one or two on a Saturday night. The people at the BBC wanting to cater for all communities have come up with a reasonable solution of providing more GAA coverage for those who are interested by putting it on their iPlayer. Jamie Bryson and co can still watch Strictly or Casualty to their hearts content.

    So I think it's a good thing.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,903 ✭✭✭roadmaster


    The point is all fans should be treated equally either everyone pays or no one pays. Why should some one in cullaville in armagh get to watch it for free while some one who lives in the same cullaville parish which is also in monaghan has to pay €12

    It's not up to the GAA. All they could do is not allow BBC any games at all.

    They are 2 different countries whether we like it or not.

    Lots of things regarding TV is different. We can watch 3pm English soccer and the English can't. We have different streaming rights. London is the 15th biggest Irish "county" by population and yet RTE player is region locked.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,447 ✭✭✭✭Fr Tod Umptious


    Just for clarity.

    Strictly runs from September to December so no clash with GAA and Casualty starts around 9pm so it would not have clashed either.

    I actually have no idea what's on BBC 1 or 2 Saturday night this time of year



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,339 ✭✭✭howiya


    I was being facetious. The point is that the BBC bought the rights on behalf of their licence fee payers and if they want to stick it on the player that's up to them



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,940 ✭✭✭✭gormdubhgorm


    But the boarder exists whether you like it or not. That is the reality.

    Anyway the other reality is Ballybofey is a fortress great win by Tir Connell.

    I also realise now that the Dubs seem to have fallen further behind div1 level.

    Looking at the div1 teams I think Dublin would really struggle against most of them. Kerry - Tyrone - Donegal - Mayo - Galway- Monaghan. Maybe even Armagh still. That is my reality check

    Guff about stuff, and stuff about guff.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,940 ✭✭✭✭gormdubhgorm


    I am not sure if this counts as a ‘live TV game’. But it was streamed live by TG4 on YouTube. Cork v Meath div2 r1

    I think that sort of thing is the way forward. The Sunday Game can be way too bloated with so many matches to cover. Sometimes you might see a team only get 2/3 minutes of highlights hurling or football.

    Cavan v Down 2pm - BBC iPlayer

    ffs, I see now that this was also on GAAgo

    Still, its a pity that anyone looking to see a non Div1/ 2 game has to rely on the british licence payer to send a TV crew out to cover their game (but good that the BBC is now getting some league games nevertheless)

    It really is crazy that the football championship has increased the number of games hugely in the last few years but the TV deal remained the same



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,447 ✭✭✭✭Fr Tod Umptious


    It stayed the same at the time of the introduction of the quarter final group stages in 2018 but there is a new contract now.

    Did you not notice the absence of Sky and the appearance of GAA Go, or the new highlights show on Saturday night?



  • Registered Users Posts: 1,584 ✭✭✭YabaDabaDooley


    I was sure RTE would be showing Clare v Tipp on Sunday. Disappointing i'm going to miss that game was looking forward to it. I don't have GAA GO and judging on the comments on here about it the app is not great.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,163 ✭✭✭✭Mantis Toboggan


    Free Palestine 🇵🇸



  • Registered Users Posts: 5,719 ✭✭✭dr.kenneth noisewater


    Still showing the same number of games on TV, gone from 60 games in 2022 to 94 games in 2023 in football along with 32 in hurling and only 31 out of that will be on RTE. While GAAGo is showing a good chunk I still think they should have allowed for more games to be on FTA TV for the casual viewer.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,518 ✭✭✭✭ArmaniJeanss


    It's really going to brought into focus in the later stages when quarter-finals (and preliminary quarter-finals in football) aren't shown because of RTE's 31 game limit. I wonder how vocal RTE will be about pointing out that it's not their fault - they do seem to automatically get the blame here from the "they're a disgrace, preferring to show Columbo instead of Cork v Galway, license fee etc" crew.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,447 ✭✭✭✭Fr Tod Umptious



    Well yeah, and the end of the day it's the GAA and not RTE that decide how many games are going to be broadcast across the board.

    I wonder are they testing the waters for the next few years to see what interest in the new format will be when it comes to attendances.



  • Registered Users Posts: 5,719 ✭✭✭dr.kenneth noisewater


    Definitely not RTE's fault but like you said I wonder how hard they pushed. Just think with the increased number of games all sides should have been looking to have more of them on FTA TV. Be great if they sold them in 2 packages, football and hurling with a requirement to show X number of Tailteann cup games as part of it and some of the the other hurling championships as well



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 39,064 ✭✭✭✭PTH2009


    Nice owl Saturday night attire for the Gooch on the Saturday game

    Those stools for the Hurling lads looked so uncomfortable
