GAA doing a deal with SkySports

[BennyHarp]

As far as I know you just need the Sky App and can pay £9.99 for it and watch it on your iPad. Premier Sports can just be added as a stand alone channel without any others, but not sure if they still have semi final and final rights now though.

Cheers BennyHarp. I actually don't think I have Virgin for TV , must be just for the internet. Switched it on there and couldn't see any sign of it being Virgin. FFS where's the wife when you need her   
So that's PremSports as a stand alone out the window. Will look into this app business and hopefully it will allow me to see the climax to the championship at least and I might pay the 60 for the GAAGO games yet. It's not a terrible price.
I understand most people are covered through already having Sky and/or close proximity to a decent public house but for me it's an overly complicated backward step from last year added to the fact that in its first year with them the GAA have allowed Sky a virtual monopoly on August/September games in the UK which is a very negative step in my opinion and perhaps a sign of things to come. Their ethos is from a different universe and not worth it just so the likes of the cringeworthy Des Cahill and Martin Carney can be marginalised.

When s the highlights show. 

Tonight at 7pm on Sky Sports 4 or 10pm on Sky Sports 3.

Anyone know what first round qualifer match Sky are showing? On GAA.ie it says that RTE are showing Laois v Fermanagh on Saturday. I thought RTE didn't have qualifer games?

I think that's the GaaGo thing?

It does what it says on the tin Croi, it shows a decent hour long highlights package of the weekends matches with no studio discussion. Not revolutionary but at least it's got plenty of action and no pundits.

[Syferus]

Anyone complaining about the pundits on the highlight shows clearly aren't watching the highlight shows.

So same as GAA 2014 on Monday nights on TG4 then?

[Rossfan]

More or less but without any Minor or U21s or the like.

Thanks lads. Not missing much by the sounds of it.
