GAA Response to Coronavirus

[dublin7]

Yeah checked there Sligo had, Finn Harps
Dundalk, Cork City, Shamrock Rovers  St Pats hadn't

Bohemians and Shelburne are also not allowing fans to attend. Only Sligo and Finn Harps in the Premier Division are allowing small no of fans to attend.

LOI fans have a streaming service which is working well so fans can watch games online. Why should the GAA be different? GAA fans have no justification to demand they be allowed attend games. GAA need to accept the decision like all the other sporting organizations in this country have done

The GAA exists outside of Dublin and consists of mostly rural less than 500 member clubs.  It's up there with let them eat cake expecting anything outside the top clubs in most counties to be able to set up an online streaming service.

I never realised the internet only worked in Dublin and people capable providing the service don't exist outside the pale.

The ironic thing is that if a Dublin poster posted such a moronic and ridiculous post like yours he or she'd rightly be ridiculed as an arrogant pr**k.

Wexford for example are just one of multiple county boards providing online streaming of games the last few weeks.

If you knew anything about LOI football you'd know the camera work at the games is being done by volunteers. FAI are subsidising the costs of the streaming service. GAA are providing streaming for years with their online streaming service for people living outside Ireland.

Many in rural Ireland don't have fast broadband service to be able to stream games onto their TV or PC.

Reserve, intermediate, junior etc etc are not going to be streamed. Only the bigger clubs will get streamed. Only a small percentage of clubs will get their games streamed. Sure even look at some counties struggling with the quality of their streaming services and people getting refunds.

Some might not, but they are the minority. There is no reason county boards all over the country can't provide a streaming service for games. The GAA have the expertise and the technology and can provide it to county boards. Some people might miss out, but that happens in all walks of life. Not everyone who wants a ticket to the All Ireland final gets one.

Funny that was more or less my thoughts on you if you add D4.

I'll bet you most clubs in Down don't even have the internet but you wouldn't know as you get X million from Croke Park every year and have 20000 members so could have Jerome Quinn come up and stream your games.

That applies to all sports. Why should the GAA be any different? The best teams/games are always shown in any sports. We are in the middle a Covid-19 pandemic. Normal rules don't apply. All the other sports have accepted it. Why can't the GAA?

Ah lad cop on. You're telling me the internet doesn't exist in Down? Even if such nonsense was true that's an issue you need to take up with government and political representatives.

Of course it exists but a club in the middle of nowhere unless they have a bar wouldn't have internet in the club.

That's just life. No everyone gets everything they want in life. Do you not think exceptions have to be made for this pandemic?

Families can't attend funerals/weddings of close relatives and idiots are complaining they can't see their GAA team play a game of football/hurling. Grow up and cop on

The Ros Inter game between Ballinameen and St Aidans was streamed or YouTubed or something last Wednesday night.
Commentary by an Aidans man. Those who saw it were raving about the quality of it, post match interviews and all.

Thats patronising bullshit. Soccer clubs put in exactly the same effort and add to the countries social capital too.

It's the off season for junior soccer. I'd expect you know this.

I understand they are tidying up leagues.soccer is in full swing. But its a very irritating line that other sports volunteerism is less valid than ours. I can understand why that line causes offence.
