It's a fair point but the GAA will argue any money they get from Sky goes straight back into grassroots and Sky only get a very small amount of exclusive games which are unavailable on free-to-air. He's right when he says the GAA don't need the Sky money to survive though - they've become very shrewd at maximising sponsorship revenue over the last few years, apart from the Sky deal.

EPL and LOI are under a pay wall. No big deal there. These are the same lads that were probably complaining 25 years ago that there were too many games on live and that it was hurting attendences..They are very stuck in their ways..What is a 'good hurling man' anywayLOL

Has Michael complained about Saturday night league games being behind a paywall. Strange how it's only an issue at this time of the year

my biggest gripe with the Gaa is having these concerts in Croke Park in the height of the Gaa season! The Gaa say they need to have these concerts for revenue but as Duignan said they have enough money! Have the concerts after the season is over!

This is my opinion on it. 

There are now more games on TV than ever : before the Sky deal, there were less. The games Sky were given exclusivity to were basically games that would not have been on TV. Yes, if Sky did not have first pick yesterday then the KK v Waterford game would probably have been on RTÉ but then the Mayo game would not have been. If people think that ditching Sky would mean RTÉ then showing these games along with what they are already showing, then they are mistaken.

See no harm in the sky deal at all as it allows more games to be shown live don't hear to many from rte complaining about league games been shown live on eir sports etc. No complaints from him about the fact if you live outside of Ireland games are only available on the gaa go app which is in all intense purposes behind a paywall as must buy a subscription to access it

Also why don't rte make more games available through this service and the rte player? Was a total of 8 gaa matches played on Saturday and rte only showed 1 of these. Why not make a few others available to stream online if they so worried about people not getting to see ganes

Also Think sky will in the long term make rte up their game in terms of analysis etc I much prefer watching games on sky as their experts actually analyse the game unlike some on rte. Tg4 coverage of the league's put rte to shame also

Correct, Tipp & Dublin supporters couldn't see their game anywhere on Saturday unless they went to it. Up to the mid 90's, only the provincial finals were shown on TV, no SFs or QFs, and the AI was only televised from the SFs onwards. There were all of 6 GAA games live on TV for the entire year up to 1995. 

The GAA had an idea (obviously proved completely wrong by what was happening with the EPL in the UK) that attendances would suffer. Somehow, it has gotten into lads heads that every game should be available on TV when this was never the case. Maybe it should be though, and if that is to be the case, then by all means keep the Sky deal, but also offer games Sky or RTE don't want (like Tipp V Dublin on Saturday) to TV3 or TG4.

People seem to give out about the RTE football panel but there's some serious dead wood in the RTE Football GAA commentary box - there must be young commentators as good as Darragh Maloney out there in this country.
 
Not to mention the commentator who can include the word 'latitude' constantly upon kicking a score.
Duignan is a class hurling co-commentator but he must tear his hair out sitting next to some of the commentators in RTE though.
 
But as they say it's harder to get off RTE then get on it.
 
Super 8 kicks in next year & how much longer until the CL format/League style kicks in and we see the end of the provincial councils?
