Do we not want people to go to the matches?
Well, now you have a choice.
You can pay GA plus or you can go down to Killarney yourself.
You won't get in.
It'll be full.
That's an exceptional game.
But it's also only in March where the RTE group had a sport.
Declan McBennett did an interview with the Irish News.
And he used the exact same line that he used with Conor in Irish Independent a few months before that, where he was saying, we're trying to fit a five gallon drum into a two litre jug.
We can't cover all the matches.
So he hasn't helped the public sentiment being angry, I think.
I think he's actually...
probably made people accept that, well, the head of sport is telling us that RTE can't cover all these games, so somebody else has to pick it up, and GA Plus is the place to do it.
Actually, the two-litre joke is now three litres.
Yeah, we're in charge.
But I think if the RTE were providing the service that people were maybe complaining about with a bit more fervor earlier on in this sort of road that we're on at the minute, then that pressure might have been on the GA a lot more.
I guess
Yeah, but then, you know, for example, during the league, and this is when all this talk was happening, TGK on one game, on one day, showed seven matches across all their platforms, on TV, on their player, on YouTube.
Like, they were able to think a bit more creatively, whereas the RTE line that came out was maybe we should have a Friday night schedule.
for games and it wasn't very creative and it wasn't very flexible either so I think it I think they have made it easier I completely get what you're saying and I do think Kerry Donegal should be available for everybody to watch I think that is a game that that should be free to air and it is in the public interest to see that match yeah but on GA plus's front I think it's been made simpler and it is only round one and it's not a knockout as well so they can sort of push that
