Can see Brian Cody becoming a pundit when he finishes with kilkenny but I would not be surprised if he got a top gaa job

the schedules are out for the live games on RTE and Sky, but maybe a little under the radar, BBC 2 northern Ireland is broadcasting the "missing" Ulster games delayed but in full.
Next Sunday at 7pm will see Fermanagh v Monaghan
http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b060f8np

games available free to air on satelite and online on the BBC website for those in the UK (may need to set location on player to Northern Ireland to get the BBC 2 NI stream)

Jayop

I put this together a few weeks ago for another site. It's pretty accurate apart from the BBC schedule which was hard to tie down at the time.

Yeah I made that before the championship started so some dates and times are liable to change.

ok, I'll correct the above statement and say that BBC are broadcasting via Sat/ Freeview BUT they have seemingly no rights to broadcast GAA online, so arent.

Jayop

OK so I've updated now all the way to the finals with all the information I can find. It's a bit unwieldy given a lot of the games are involving qualifiers but here's what we know so far. I can't see any TV listings for this weekends football qualifiers so I assume no-one is showing them.

The televised game from round 2A ofthe qualifiers will most likely be Offaly v Kildare or Cavan v Roscommon.

Cavan v Roscommon would be more likely to provide a good contest as both teams are fairly evenly matched, so they'll probably go with that.

They have 8 qualifiers in total. Given that will be the first one they show and there will be one from the other side of the draw on the 11th of July that gives them 6 more games.

There's only 12 more qualifiers to be played after that so they'll be showing half of them. They've already announced 2 on Aug 1st and RTE have the other 2 that weekend as well as 2 on the 25th. That leaves 2 TV games from 6 to be played for Sky.

Most likely it'll be both games on the 11th which will decide pool B.

munchkin_utd

the 5pm game on July 4th will be Cavan v Roscommon on RTE.
At 7pm Sky is showing Cork v Wexford in the Hurling.

Just waiting on the decision now for the game to be shown in 2b on the 11th of July. You'd imagine Tyrone Vs Meath would be the pick of the bunch for Sky Sports. I don't think RTE have a game that day in the football.

Probly a round 2 hurling qualifier

Sky's website says football and hurling qualifiers for that date so one of each.

munchkin_utd

According to newstalk a couple of days ago, the GAA are awaiting the hurling games this weekend before announcing times and venues of the football draws anounced last Monday.

slight tangent, I see theres no premier league fixtures on the weekend of the Hurling all Ireland so it will probably get a Sky Sports 1 billing and a bit of attention no doubt.
and for those of us abroad, it means most pubs should even have the sound on for the game
(its a sad fact of life that theres more brits than Irish in the world and on holidays, so irish pubs abroad will often gear their offerings to them rather than the Irish)

for the football final day theres :

Sunday 20th September 2015
Tottenham v Crystal Palace 13:30
Liverpool v Norwich 16:00
Southampton v Man Utd 16:00

So a Liverpool and a Man U game, but both way less prestigious than Man U v Arsenal and the likes that often seem to be scheduled on all Ireland days.

Jayop

Saturday 11th July

Cork v Clare
All-Ireland SHC Qualifiers , Sky Sports 3 HD (18:30)

RTE showing Dublin v Limerick

So two hurling games and no football. It's pretty obvious that football is the poor cousin as far as the TV companies go despite it being a much wider played and watched sport nationwide.

The 4 hurling teams involved are top hurling teams. Not the case in the football qualifiers. Which football match do you think would rival either of these 2 hurling matches for entertainment, potentially?

RTE showed a football qualifier last weekend and hurling this weekend coming. This is not a conspiracy. The hurling qualifiers are also down to 4 teams who would all fancy themselves to go a bit further, wheras the football qualifiers are in the earlier stages.

Jayop

I don't think there's a conspiracy. RTE most certainly favour hurling, from the match selection to the hyper negative way the football is packaged it's quite obvious. Sky I think just picked the best game they had this weekend.

I'm amazed the Tyrone Meath game isn't on TV.

Not obvious to me. Please explain?

OK, any time there's a straight choice between a similarly leveled hurling and football game the hurling game is on first and the football will be deferred or not shown at all. Generally when there's a weekend with both on the hurling is shown first on the Sunday Game, RTE have allowed a narative to grow straight from their "senior analysts" that hurling is just vastly superior in every way to football and that there's no one sided games in hurling.

Don't get me wrong, I love hurling and will watch it when it's on, however it's pretty clear that RTE try to put the football down at every opportunity.

Of course when Dublin are on RTE will show it and that's probably more of a reason this Saturday than the fact it's hurling vs football.
