Did you send them a email for clarity?
Contacted them (and bbcni) via Twitter. See what happens.
8 national league games in football and hurling to be streamed on the BBC iplayer.
https://www.bbc.com/sport/gaelic-games/64290149
The iPlayer will not work in the 26 counties, will the BBC website stream work? GIven that it is not on GAAGo in these islands then you would expect so.
I’d say the same rules apply to the website as the iplayer for live streaming. The BBC Sport NI website does have highlights clips of Ulster club games which aren’t blocked here, so the same may apply to the league games.
Of course its going to be blocked. We dont pay BBC TV licenses in the Republic.
Not necessarily, there have been games on the website before that were not blocked, schools games and the like.
I can see that from the BBC point of view, but if that is the case then why would it not be on GAAGo?
Monaghan and Armagh is on GAA Go this weekend in Ireland.
My apologies then, it was stated elsewhere that it was not.
Anyone know why not all the matches are available on GAAGO.
Even the McGrath cup games in Munster were available and its really only a warm up tournament for the league
Resources I'd say, 16 games a week in the football and 17 in hurling is too much for them to cover I'd guess
A few quid to be made off it I'd say though.
The camera work n commentary for the McGrath cup was far from world class
Earlier in the week it wasn't available i'm pretty sure as i checked when posters queried it been available in ROI on the BBC Player.
I do not think it will be available on iPlayer, nothing is. It may be available from the website streaming, but they are advertising the iPlayer and hardly mentioning the website, so this will cause confusion.
Just to be clear on what i meant it wasn't available in ROI on GAAGO earlier in the week it is now.
There is a good chance we simply don't have 30+ camera teams (even bad ones) in Ireland.
There is a lack of clarity and there isn't any reason that shoud be the case as presumably all this was discussed when the deal was made. The opening weekend of the league should be given some prominence and this game will as good as any.
Games available on GAA Go this weekend. €12 a game (steep enough IMO). Season ticket €79.
Only the Monaghan and Armagh game is available in Ireland. The rest are geoblocked.
Are they on Irish TV ?
GAAGo are always locked for games on terrestrial.
Does that GAAGO screengrab mean that TG4 will live stream the Sunday games they are showing as deferred coverage on their TV channel? Ros Tyrone and Cork Meath?
Yeah. Might have to download the TG4 app.
Yeah RTE have Mayo/ Galway, tg4 have Dublin/kildare and donegal/ Kerry.roscommon/Tyrone and cork/meath live on either tg4 player or their YouTube channel, both are shown deferred on TV.
They really do offer a fantastic service
I have no problem paying to watch football and hurling as i have bought gaago season pass.
But the gaa is suppouse to be all ireland sports body so how they justify an armagh supporter being able to watch the game tonight on bbcplayer free of charge but a monaghan supporter living a few hundred meters over the border has to pay €12 to watch it.
Surley the gaa coud have got rte to show BBCNI coverage on rte news channell?
Monaghan v Armagh is blocked on the BBC iPlayer here in the RoI. Must say I think this is very unfair for Monaghan people who can’t get to the game and are forced to fork out €12 to watch it on GAA Go, while their neighbours in Armagh can watch it for free on the iPlayer.
Get a free VPN and watch BBC Player, its pretty simple to do.
Goal of the season by James Carr there 🤣
I did. Was watching it until the Mayo Galway game started. Not everyone would know how to do this however. Just think its odd that a 32 county body like the GAA would allow its TV coverage to be determined by the border.
Why would the GAA want to put it on rte news for free? Would totally undermine the GAAGo product.
