There is a lot of spin about AI but it's not clear if it will be the gamechanger that people expect. It uses a lot of computer power to find patterns in things and a lot of output is nonsense.

I'm an accountant, I know this stuff.
"For an amateur organisation owned by the members, owned by the people that are lining pitches, by people in every club up and down the country, for me that looks like a very healthy position."
"I previously worked with a lot of soccer organisations, a lot of them go bust all the time and haven't got 2p to rub together. For me, the GAA is in a very healthy financial position, they're acquiring lots of strategic assets all over the country.
All of these comments are still not consistent with his initial statement in which he said, "the GAA is one of the richest organisations in the world."
Furthermore, Burns' comments - if I recall correctly - talked about a turnover in the region of 140 million Euro, and a context in which the GAA will be expected to contribute somewhere in the region of 500 million Euro in the coming years to a range of major GAA projects across the country.
I don't think Cavanagh's response does much to justify his initial comments, nor rebuff Burns' criticism.
Quote from: RedHand88 on May 14, 2024, 08:50:44 PMThe GAA isn't very good at dealing with constructive criticism. This goes back at least as far as the Sky deal. You will eat it and you will like it. Older people should be able to pay cash at turnstiles.Quote from: Truthsayer on May 14, 2024, 06:45:55 PMQuote from: RedHand88 on May 14, 2024, 06:08:24 PMNot to you obviouslyQuote from: Truthsayer on May 14, 2024, 05:49:04 PMQuote from: RedHand88 on May 14, 2024, 05:38:51 PMI don't known. Even a few is too many.Quote from: Truthsayer on May 14, 2024, 02:36:28 PMQuote from: Rossfan on May 14, 2024, 02:29:17 PMYou mean not providing free entertainment to casual armchair followers of gaelic games ?No I mean there's elderly people, gave their life to GAA, not well enough to go to games that can't afford to pay and families can't afford it or to take crowd kids to a local pub.
What size do you think that very specific demographic is?
Is it really though?
I don't believe there is a significant cohort who as you say:
1) Are elderly
2) Gave their life to the GAA
3) Are too sick to go to games
4) Cannot afford to go to a game
5) Family cannot afford to buy them a ticket
6) Family will not take them to the pub to see it.
This is the sentimental nonsense Jarlath Burns was talking about.
Quote from: Milltown Row2 on May 13, 2024, 01:08:05 PMThey need to decide on an ongoing basis which matches to broadcast live instead of fixing everything before the championship starts.Quote from: imtommygunn on May 13, 2024, 12:15:35 PMHe can hold his own that boy.
Sean Cavanagh Looking to get himself noticed again.
No one is saying that the likes of a streaming service is not a revenue builder, before streaming we still had reasons to generate money, but some matches like Saturday night with everything on the line for Cork at home against the reigning champions needs viewed free
Is Gaago owned by RTE or the GAA?

Would you do the same with Kerry to make Munster competitive?

14 titles in a row.
"Thoroughly enjoyable win.
Time for the Meaths and Kildares to get up to Dublin's pitch" says John Casey
Quote from: Orior on May 13, 2024, 05:08:43 PMI'd like to see a number of new faces start against Westmeath, and give others a break. Not taking Westmeath lightly, but we should still have enough to win whilst resting players for remaining matches.Wasn't tiernan Kelly the player who gave the most to the shemozzle during the Armagh Galway qf in 2022 ?
So rest Andy Murnin, Rian O'Neill, Ryan Grugan, Aidan Forker, Aaron McKay and Stefan Campbell,
Start Jason Duffy, Tiaran Kelly, Aidan Nugent, Shane McPartlan, Connaire Mackin, Jarley Og Burns and Barry McCambridge (Well, start 6 out of those 7).
Quote from: From the Bunker on May 12, 2024, 03:27:55 PMIt's a shame a majority of Dublin Supporters won't be able to say ''I was there when Dublin won 14 in a row Leinsters''63 in total
I doubt even most of them watched it on the TV.
