Happy Days. We are getting the3 games over here on West Coast U.S. and the two hurling games on Sunday. Best couple of hundred I ever spent.

Eh? The Triple bill is being covered live somewhere? How? Are they getting the RTE feeds that they use to make the highlights packages from?

Scandalous if that's available outside Ireland but there's a black-out the one place where it would be used the most.

Who does the english commentary on TG4 feed matches?

I'm right in assuming London-Cavan and Cork-Galway won't be available on RTE.ie or the like for people in Ireland without paying a small fortune for that company's service? Really stupid stuff going on, they (RTE) are using our license fees to pay for the rights to record GAA matches and only allowing pay channels to show them live.

Yet another example why the GAA deciding to take games off television was so ass-backwards that it's nearly incomprehensible.

I'm not sure why people are slagging RTÉ. The GAA don't want RTÉ showing these games, as it interferes will club games and the like. I imagine RTÉ provide the cameras and sell the feed to Premier, so no taxpayers money is wasted.

Anyone in Ireland  that really wants to see Cavan/London and Galway/Cork will be in Croke Park.

RTE have the rights to a highlights package of all those games. They get Marty or whoever to sit there for two hours and then use three minutes of the commentary. All that costs money, money that the tax payer is funding in the main. To not be providing that feed to the same tax payers footing the bill seems a dereliction of their duty as a public service broadcaster. That the feeds are available on a pay channel charging exorbitant fees and mainly servicing the outside Ireland market just makes it all the more galling.

It's all caused by the GAA's 1950's stance against having more televised games. The fact is live GAA is no where to be seen on the major station betweens late September and late May every year so you damn well better wring the most minutes you can from your only shop-window in the year.

If the GAA thinks not showing Galway-Cork on television or online is going to get anyone to go to a club game instead they're having an almighty laugh at our expense.

Cavan will bring a huge crowd, not as if we there every summer. First Championship game in Croker Since 97, played a League Semi against Ross in 07 there. The U-21 final on 2011 brought over 20,000 Cavan fans.

Don't be trying to bring sense into a good old whinge.

[Westside]

I expect a very big Cavan crowd but a lot of people are being optimistic and waiting until the Quarter Finals. The U21 Final 2011 was over after about 20 minutes so the support never had much to get behind barring a bit of a flourish in the second half. Hopefully Saturday will be different. Really looking forward to it.

There's absolutely no sense in that.
