Thank you. Had a quick read there but couldn't find an answer to my question


Is this just viewable via the internet etc

Or can it be watched on a standard tv.

For me father so he just wants to watch it in the tv itself.

I'm watching it on NowTV here and the quality is acceptable but nowhere near broadcast satellite, I have 13.5mbs down and 1mb up. Kodi is an absolute waste of time, always choppy, freezing etc.

I'd demand a refund if it is not good quality. The whole thing is a farce and GAA games should be FTA by law.

From the other FTA broadcaster.

Because that is supposed to be the ethos of the GAA!

The promotion of the game should be the top of their agenda, not fecking money. They've enough money. They already collect 100 million per year, they dont need an extra 5. With all the TV rights and Concerts in Croke park, the games themsleves must be a serious inconvenience.

Hang on. If the games had to be on FTA by law, why would a FTA broadcaster pay for them?

How is it poor, have you good broadband, is it the resolution/picture quality that's bad?

Just curious, I'm watching it on a kodi stream and the quality is excellent. It's not good enough that the quality is poor, for what is being toted as a proper alternative for anyone to watch these important games it's not good enough if that's the case.

Who was jibing about the grab all association ?

What is your point ?

You agree that an organisation responsible for the promotion of the native sport, who pulled in 100million last year, yet felt that its should withhold some of the games from Irish people who cannot afford Sky Sports all for the sake of 0.5million was right ?

Oh and just incase you think they are self sustaining, the Irish people through government funding forked up €114 million for the redevelopment of Croke Park alone.

It is a great product. Its also a product that remains amateur (the player do not get paid) and needs to made available to the public for free. The promotion ethos of the GAA is well founded and these agreements are not compatible with that ethos.

Clubs and Counties raise their own money, I am involved in the GAA locally and I can tell you that Croke Park and the "GAA" are far divorced from the reality of clubs and small counties around the country. All the money over the last 5 to 7 years has gone almost exclusively into the Dublin County Board and we have reached a state where Dublin is getting the majority of the resources and their teams are effectively professional teams. It is an absolute disgrace what is being done with the hundreds of millions of Euro when club teams all around the country are struggling out running events etc. to raise a few quid and every penny pumped into Dublin. Even Cork managed to raise the money for Pairc ui Chaoimh themselves with Govt help, Croke Park gave no help.

The modern GAA is corrupt to the very core and until there is a complete clear out of all involved then nothing will change. The Sky arrangement epitomises this perfectly. There is two teams in Football effectively Dublin and Kerry, wheras Hurling is struggling to remain competitive after a decade of Kilkennys complete utter destruction of the game as a competitive sport.

The GAA is being run as a soulless corrupt money grabbing corporation while its ordinary members are milked dry and ignored all to benefit Dublin which is the only county the GAA care about. Full Stop Period .
