One thing I will say about the Armagh lads is theres a panel of maybe 43 plus and everyone buys in regardless of gametime. Obviously theres a good few lads down the pecking order that get to play club games as well

Quote from: small white mayoman on Today at 08:40:32 AMSurely gaa go has to be a complete and utter failure.
Yesterday for example there must have been 10 or 11 games been played between hurling and football yet not one was on any channel to view for free , so much for promoting the games.
I had signed up for the season pass, however the quality was so bad for the mayo v New York match , buffering , picture quality ect , I just cancelled it and won't be going back and definitely won't be paying 12 euro to watch a single game.
So yesterday evening instead of watching a hurling or football match my choice on rte was rugby or watch the golf on sky , so golf it was , turned out to be a great choice in the end 😀

Is it possible your Internet isn't good enough? I've never had any problems with GAAGo in the few years it's been about. I am abroad this week and was able to watch the Derry game which I could not have done otherwise. Its great.

With regards to the perpetual argument that more games should be on free to air, this has been explained over and over and over. RTE are not a dedicated GAA station, they show general entertainment, news, lifestyle, cooking, documentaries, sports etc. They are already showing 2 full games today from the Munster Hurling championship, as well as highlight packages last night and tonight. You cannot expect them to show GAA morning noon and night all weekend.


As regards their highlights package,  don't get me started on that .

No my Internet is perfect as I watched the golf on now tv .
No one is expecting them to show every game on free to air , however would it be too much to expect them to show one game on a Saturday during the championship when possibly 10 games were been played ?
The championship will be as good as over in 8 weeks time so its not that much to expect imo.

Antrim / Re: Antrim Football Thread

Commentator was very impressed with Antrim, but we missed two easy goal chances that would have put the game to bed much earlier.

Was very impressed with Sligo when they beat us quite easily in the league. They put 16 points on Tipp yesterday,but at least we go into the game knowing we are still in the competition.

Battle of the McEntee's.

It just feels like there's little or no jeopardy.  Galway, Armagh, Derry, Westmeath for instance - great group on paper and if only two went through then the consequences for each game would be more exciting.

Thought Derry played ok considering the injuries. Badly let down by McKinless. Despite that could have levelled things up  with a goal late on and could have won it if the shooting boots were on ! Long way to go yet !!!!
