The Best GAA Channels on Youtube

pipelaser

As time goes by, the volume of past footage of Gaelic games on youtube isnt what it should be. But there are a few guys out there really putting in the effort like owner of this page below. Dunno how they get the access to the vids but id love to see more.

I can't help you but...

We need a YouTube entirely for GAA matches, the basis of which would be RTÉ's archive and subsequently TG4's and BBC's. Seriously.


Ultimately, people would be able to upload the local match they recorded to a section under their own county and with some promotion it would become the established site for everybody to catch up on matches back home/ down in the pitch. We should also have an "Overheard in the Crowd" section because some of the things coming out of people's mouths at matches give more enjoyment than even the best match (a few ineffably extraordinary hurling matches in the mid-late 1990s excepted). Another section of selected dvd and/or audio clips of players/managers/commentators quips could be very entertaining.

It's a project that could get broad support given that none of the above currently have such an online archive. After all, we already have a state-supported Traditional Music Archives, the very resource which was the basis of Nioclás Ó Cearbhalláin's inestimable Siar an Bóthar.

Let's assume GAAdar is out as a name for the new site.

How about Léirmheas, meaning of course review/critical assessment? It's two-syllables which will allow it to catch on quick and we can expect the Dubs to shorten it to something like "the Leary"! (which is three-syllables but let's not be pedantic!)

That Eddie Moroney commentator at a club match in Tipperary in 1992 is absolutely hilarious. I never heard of him before. He's actually roaring all the way through the match. "Now, now lads don't hit them Nenagh fellas; they only want trouble"..."You won't even kick a fúckin' point" "that bollocks of a ref!" "oh mother of God there'll be a big night in the Glen".... hehe. (and the funny red hat on him there)

I know loads of people who would appreciate him. Better go and send them to them.

The brilliant thing is there is at least one Eddie Moroney in every clubhouse in every parish up and down the country

Ah Eddie Moroney is a legend.....that video is one of the classic GAA videos. I'd say they made a bit of money when they started selling it.

I agree on this. I can't see why RTE or any company would be against such an idea once they're getting credit. Most of these old archives are probably stored away in a room in Montrose gathering dust
