The Official GAA thread

Down absolutely running away with it already

 

At Croke......Antrim breaking hearts again.

 

Mayo V Galway was a cracking game

 

Who's showing the semis and finals. It used to be Sky but they've ended their agreement and GAAGO in the UK haven't been covering those games due to Sky coverage. All very confusing.

Saturday July 1

Kerry v Tyrone, Croke Park, 3.45pm, GAAGO

Armagh v Monaghan, Croke Park, 6pm, GAAGO

Sunday July 2

Derry v Cork, Croke Park, 1.45pm, RTE

Dublin v Mayo, Croke Park, 4pm, RTE

 

That's the quarters though that GAAGO always had!

 

Probably RTE

I think there would be uproar if it was PPV

GAAGO are owned by RTE so they are probably doing it outside Ireland. I'm sure the money grabbing * will charge plenty for it

 

Just found this - wonder if the BBC has the semis and finals - can't find any info on it - pain in the *

I think BBC NI has the semis. Definitely seen they had the hurling ones advertised.

 

https://www.bbc.com/sport/gaelic-games/63377924#:~:text=The All-Ireland finals and,streamed each year on iPlayer.

The All-Ireland finals and semi-finals will be broadcast live on BBC Two NI.

BBC Sport and the GAA have also agreed that up to 10 matches in the Allianz National Leagues will be streamed each year on iPlayer.

I prefer BBC's coverage to RTE's

 

Right...need to find a Northern Irish Tesco's address for my iPlayer lol!

 

Tyrone woeful. They badly need a new manager. These two got an all Ireland on the back of Mickey Harte's slipstream and it's been all downhill since. Ulster football on a real low at the moment mostly in my opinion down to poor managers

 

Great game

 

Pity someone has to go out on penalties

 

A lot of pressure having only 5 penalty takers.

 

Let's not over exaggerate what we just watched it was mediocre but got exciting at times. The only decent thing about it was that no team managed to get a real upper hand on the other. But besides that the constant recycling of the ball along with all the hand passing coupled with the two defensive setups made it, even by Gaelic Footballs standards, really slow.

 

I wouldn’t say I’m over exaggerating. The whole game there was only a point between them at any one time. I preferred it to the Kerry v Tyrone game which after about 25 mins was so one sided it just got boring. Perhaps the Armagh and Monaghan game wasn’t the most attacking free flowing encounter but I thoroughly enjoyed watching two Ulster teams battle it out. Last minute equaliser added to the drama. Glad to see Monaghan go through in the end but also feel for Armagh
