It is digital partition. There's absolutely no excuse for the live games and for the Sunday game not to be available in 32 counties on whatever platform you want. The Rte player being geoblocked is particularly galling

The RTÉ player is not geoblocked from NI, except for certain soccer games and drama series. It is not geoblocked for GAA. if it doesn't work it because your ISP does not locate you in NI, which is not RTÉ's fault, it is the GAA who sold the GB rights to someone else. But people continually bollock RTÉ and never think of changing ISP, which is their own responsibility.
What has "Niall O'Donnaighle from SF" done to ensure that IP numbers are properly geocoded in NI?

The Sunday game was geoblocked this weekend in NI, that's a fact Whether it was because of an ISP or not doesn't matter a damn to me. If RTE wanted they could put in a workaround very easily to stop that from being an issue. Allow people to register and enter their postcode for example.

People in the 26 are/should be paying €160 for a tv licence.

And they get BBC free which people in the 6 are paying £147 a year for.

Your point is?

I'd keep the provincials too but have them as a stand alone competition. Do away with all the preseason stuff and have the league, the provincials and the all Ireland running one after the other.

That Trip monk is a class site. They don't take the bookings but find amazing holiday deals.

Folks, looking a bit of help or advice. Currently in the process of booking a stag. Have absolutely no experience of booking one and have only been on stags to Kilkenny and Galway which were top class.

We've all agreed to go abroad and it'll be end of October beginning November. Been looking all over the place at destinations, Prague, Budapest, Malaga, Berlin etc. There'd be 15-20 lads heading and it won't be anything too wild, just drinking mainly. Any tips on where to go to book such a trip that won't cost an arm and a leg. Any help would be very much appreciated.

I watched Ready Player One at the weekend and was genuinely surprised by how much I enjoyed it.

Yep, the third round draw will give us a real indication of who to expect to be in the super8.

Reading on twitter that the Sunday Game is also geoblocked on the RTE player. A roaring disgrace is what this is and just shows the level of contempt by people in charge of both the GAA for allowing this to happen and RTE for making it happen towards the north.

Yeah you can't play a team you've played before in R3 & R4. Assuming Dublin, Donegal and Kerry win...

Ross can't play Leitrim
Fermanagh can't play Monaghan or Armagh
Laois can't play Carlow
Cork can''t play Tipp

Tipp ,lol.

Well I don't expect Leitrim, Armagh or Carlow to get to round 4 either but had to include all possibilities.

Dear Sligo natives... Anywhere ye'd recommend to quench the thirst at? Might stay down the night

All the life around the town at night now is down along the river, Fiddlers, Garavogue, Blind Tiger, The Snug, Bourbon and Kennedys. From there it's a short jaunt over to Lillies or up the Shoot the Crows which are both worth a visit.

If you fancy a bit of dancing, ask any of the bar staff in Bourbon for passes to Lola Montez (Toffs) and you can get in free.

Keep Ulster finals in Clones!! Best place in the world to watch a match imo.

Fairly easy to get out of the Tubber stand, the training pitch is right behind it. I don't think there's any exits to the whole facility though apart form the front gate.
