wimbledon as gaelige

fryup

Wimbledon in irishit just isn't cricket old boy

gaelic is more suited to culchie sports like GAA not the polite middle-class sport of tennis

we can't have the leafy suburbs of SW19 degraded with such profanity, it puts me off my strawberries & cream

(;))

GAA is just for the culchies now, why so do Dublin think they will win the double this year?

Its annoys me that RTE have transferred many sporting events that i wish to watch onto TG4. I dont particularly like Irish and feel like its being almost forced on me sometimes.

The only reason to watch the cycling is for the scenery.For the tennis I presume they can't afford to lose adverting revenue from kids shows on RTE2.

The TG4 commentators had to make up Irish words for things like 'drop shot' and 'ace' when they started doing the commentary.

That shows how little connection there is between Tennis and the Irish language.

RTE and TG4 don't belong to the same company. RTE is owned by the state and TG4 is owned by Teilifís na Gaeilge; therefore, RTE cannot transfer programs to that TV channel.

Ace isn't even an English word to begin with. It comes from French. Words often move between languages. What's the problem with that?

But what is disappointing and frustrating is that TG4 a company also run with license fee payers' money uses that money to outbid RTE for mainstream sports such as rugby. Using fee payers money to do something they would prefer to have for less and in their own language-well done. So then we have to sit through Rugbai beo or hook up to radio commentary with timing which is usually off.

And if its down to principles how come the ads are in English? Disaster of a channel generally. I like westerns, really. But whats so very gaelige/gaeilge about them. If you dont have enough Irish shows then maybe think about restricting your hours you broadcast and cut the filler material.

The welsh channels do something similar during matches but they offer a different track for the commentary so you can watch it with welsh or english. Thats the best way forward. Any chance lads? Nah thought not.

I hate the fact that anything in Irish is so distracting since English is my first language like 98% of Irish people. I find you have to turn on mute to hack watching anything on TG4. Plus the subtitles are a ****.

But everyone is forgetting Irish is the First and official language, even through very few of us use it daily
