    Travelling on train tomorrow during tomorrow's semi final.

    Wifi on train is option and I will burn my data as well but the only option I have is that Irish radio app and listen on rte1.

    I've been told gaa go isn't a runner. Any work arounds or ways I could watch the game?

    Thanks in advance?

    Radio is your best bet.

    As well as GAA Go there are unofficial streams out there but they cannot be discussed here.
    And I would not have great confidence in train WiFi to carry a good video stream anyway, radio streams would be much more reliable

    If the UK public transport services are anything like our own, they block sites whose content is video based, even the legal ones like You Tube. They use up too much bandwidth.

    Get a bit confused and accidentally get on a boat or a plane (easy mistake as they are also forms of transport) and end up in Croke Park. Failing that, stop to ask directions to the station in a pub or Irish club and then say "Oh, what's that on the telly?" Watch for a little while, then look at your watch and stay "Stuff it, I won't make the train now, I might as well stay and watch the rest of the match." Then get a very late Sunday train or a very early Monday train.

    If it is work-related and you can get some wifi on the train, but not enough to see or hear the match, then send an e-mail to your boss that says "I quit." You can then do what you want for the rest of the day. When applying for your next job, be sure to tell your prospective employer that you do not work weekends between May and September. Extend it to February to September if you go to league matches. If it is for personal reasons, then you need to get your priorities right. :)

    Get on the tran and probably Kerry local radio with Weeshie Fogarty is available.
    Radio is a suprisingly decent experience.
