GAA doing a deal with SkySports

[Zulu]

But the principle of a pay wall is a big policy shift

Eh Sean? I guess you don't watch many national league games.

Sean Kelly is a self serving man in my opinion. He is a politician and will play to whatever angle he feels will give him the most votes. I note he says the lads in Belgium received a slap in the face because they have to pay €110 for a season of GAAGo. Is he of the opinion that they preferred to pay €20 a game, or whatever the Irish pubs in Brussels charge to watch the games, because I'm sure it wasn't free. They may want it free, of course they do, but €110 euro to see all the games live is not a bad deal in my view.

Ah I'd say there's no charge into the pubs AZ but not many pubs would be showing it I'd say so it might be a decent trek for some into see it. Could the GAA and RTE do it for free?

Really no charge? It was $20 per game in the states in 1997-2001 when I was there.

[Zulu]

No charge in Britain and I've never heard anyone say there's a charge in bars in Europe. I think American bars had to pay a lot to be allowed show them but that's not the case in Europe afaik.

[easytiger95]

Used to pay that myself in 96/97 but I've never been charged in any bar in Europe to watch a game - probably easier to use dodgy boxes, or IR sky cards in European boxes.

Typically $20 per day (could be two games) anytime I watched in the States around the same time.

Still is. All-Ireland club finals would have the same charge

Hopefully Sky can bring us previews like this?

After a good start last week the RTE stream has been inconsistent this week and it's now frozen entirely. If the GAA Go streaming service is not a lot better then there'll be a lot of very unhappy people.

[Hardy]

It's back again now, but making funny noises.

[Jinxy]

That's just Marty.

If I'd paid for this quality of stream I'd be very annoyed. They need to sort this out if they want people to pay.

[Zulu]

Gone again, really poor stuff from RTE.
