No, I think the point was to show more games and they will say that there's no, you know, there's never been a point where more games have been shown.

And I'm sure all of that is true, but obviously we have a tweaked, we have a different system than we had before in terms of the format.

I understand it.

I do understand it.

I'm just saying that there's a context to all of these things and there's an expense involved.

Look, technology's probably at a point where you can stick a couple of cameras in and people are, particularly post-COVID, sort of, if you're saying to people, like, this is, you know, this is no, you're getting no punditry, you're just getting the game, we're going to, you know, it's not going to be all bells and whistles.

I think people, Cork fans would be delighted with that this weekend.

Yeah.

They would love just to see it.

So I do get that.

All I'm saying is they wouldn't view it through the lens of being closed.

They would say we're showing more games than anybody's ever shown before.

And like there is, that's true.

But I genuinely believe that we have more of a thirst for games the more we're seeing.

yeah anyway I'm done with it like whatever whatever here's what's happening on the back pages sorry I totally totally take the point like and also and people are saying that the YouTube comes here if I am from Cork and I am paying my annual GEA plus subscription I am going to be annoyed that I can't see that game and it's a hell of a trip to do it all from Cork as well that shouldn't be lost in this argument as well

Irish Daily Mail, Taylor Frenzy, incredible demand for Croker tickets with fight expected sell out quickly, writes Mark Gallagher here.

This is the news that 40,000 tickets have been sold for the Katie Taylor fight v Flora Peely on September the 5th at Croke Park.

This is the bit where everybody who was involved in the organisation of this event sits back in the chair and says, woof.

Job pretty much done.

If we've sold 40,000 up to now, I mean, there is a possibility that it goes down to a plateau now for the next while.
