Tailteann Cup 2022

[Eire90]

maybe they could have experimented with having some of the first two rounds  of tailteaan cup games on friday night and make a deal with rte to show the games on rte 2 on a friday night if they want the competition to have exposure could have a double header of 6.30 and 8.10 throw in times.

Since they made it regionalise they cant have the ohhh we cant expect people to travel  far on a friday excuse.

GAA president Larry McCarthy has said that placing the Tailteann Cup decider on the undercard of the All-Ireland final was never a serious option.

The first-ever champions of the new competition will be crowned on 9 July at Croke Park, a match that RTÉ will screen live, with the All-Ireland Hurling final taking place a week later and the football decider on 24 July.

McCarthy, however, said that club commitments and the all-conquering beast of All-Ireland final day would have proven detrimental to the second-tier competition.

I can't see how any 2nd tier competition would be successful no matter how it is structured. The only people who will care are the hardcore fans which is quite small and the relatives of the players. It is hard enough to get fans to go to league games never mind a 2nd tier championship. I actually think the league should be a bigger competition, in a perfect world it would have more games but obviously there isn't much space.

"A lot will depend on the promotion given by the GAA and within the media".


No it won't. This is a B championship. They could have photo shoots 24 hours a day from now til July and it will still not earn a grain of public interest.

Is it a county thing to gain recognition through the media and other outlets to play GAA? 99% of the GAA players play for the love of the game, not to get media attention..

I'm not sure what drives kids on nowadays....Getting 30 seconds coverage on The Sunday Game must be wonderful and a game changer!

It is status which drives teens and young men on. I remember what school was like, the girls loved the footballers. That has always been the case in human civilization, athletic men with status getting breeding rights. Of course these boys still love the sport but the status it gives them does play some part in their motivation to play. Even if you are an unsuccessful county player you shouldn't underestimate the status it gives you in your community.

Like the old Rounds 1 and 2 Qualifiers, the 16 games used to get a total of about 4 minutes from a dodgy camera positiond round the corner flag.

That'll put it on first, show 1 minute of each game. Then one of the pundits will talk about Offaly and Wicklow. For Offaly they will mention John Maughan and u20s (u20s will be mentioned for them for next 10 yrs)

For Wicklow they will find a player they heard off before and talk about how great he is. Then they will spend more time talking about the principle of the Tailtean Cup than the highlights and comments combined.

A load of Offaly players down with cramp towards the end of the game. Pure relief with the full time whistle. Is John Maughan still getting his players to run-up mountains and push wheelie bins around car parks?

Niall McNamee some servant for them and top quality forward, turns 37 later this year and top scorer today with 1-5.

Lucky it's been promoted so well by GAA and media.

They may as well put the games for free on YouTube for those with a passing interest. Because attendances will be low regardless and nobody will bother paying for a stream for this, not should they have to.
