GAA doing a deal with SkySports

[macdanger2]

I'll be flying so I'll miss them anyway.

For anyone with kids though, it's hard to head off to the pub for the day, it might be a frosty enough reception when you get back...

It's absolute bollocks is what it is. The most anticipated games of the year so far and only available behind a pay wall. I know there's no entitlement to see games etc etc but it's still really shit.

[AZOffaly]

The most anticipated games of the year so far?

That's subjective of course

[Brick Tamlin]

Its bullshit is what it is.

Hereiam I feel your pain.
Time to call in reinforcements to look after the kids for a while lol.
Personally il be up early tomorrow morning and il be Father and husband of the Year right up until a half hour before throw in.
I might even do a bit of ironing or hoovering or do something really impressive like red out an oul room full of cr@p.
Come footie time il be droppin everything and getting my game face on to roar at the tv.

Brick, you seem to know how to work these weeeeeeeeeman well, fair play!

[Applesisapples]

Leaving aside the pay per view argument, sky's coverage has been very refreshing. I like Sennan Connell and even wee Pete. Fair play to Canavan that he speaks in his every day accent and dialect. Good to hear.

I actually don't think it is anything special, certainly not the cutting edge that many expected.

Agree. Don't get it at all. Certainly not what it was talked up to be. Senan Connell is the GAA's Andy Townsend.

A go'on with ye, he is not that bad.

Senan Connell is infinitely better than Brolly and Spillane. At least Sky analyse the matches and look at the tactics etc that are being played out. RTE just comment on whether it's a good game or not (usually critical), pick a few controversial incidents and throw out a few standard generalisations about the counties involved.

Not to mention the standard bickering between Brolly and O'Rourke.

I agree, i much prefer the Sky build up and analysis that the usual rubbish from RTE and the 3 Nuala's

[sheamy]

All these people were on TV3. The only difference is everyone has to pay for it now.

[southdown]

What sticks out for me is how Sky are very positive about every game, whereas RTE can be quite negative at times.

Plus Rachael is good on the eye
