Richard Harper (@richardharper) reported from Redditch, England@SkyHelpTeam are there issues in Worcestershire? Your checker app says no known issues in my area, yet my broadband is down, and that I need an engineer visit, but won’t let me book one. Is that your way of avoiding your Ofgem obligations?

Lawrence (@JUNIORII) reported@SamJDean I don't respect football writers. They contibute nothing to the game of football. Their ill writing contribute massively to why some professional footballers lose it mentally & never recover. And I hate how @SkySports have them around every Sunday morning to vomit total nonsense.

Aaron Convey (@AaronConvey1) reportedBefore SkySports came in to show games behind a paywall RTE showed 31 games live out approximately 55-50 games. In 2014, Sky Sports took over TV3 coverage of between 8-10 exclusive games and increased it to 20 games a season while having 14 exclusive games behind a paywall. In 2022, SkySports either lost the rights or didn’t go back in to renew their rights. This opened the opportunity for RTE to take over the rights but they didn’t. instead GAAGO took them over. In the two years of GAAGo, they showed 38 games exclusively. That’s 7 more games than RTE showed on Free to Air television. In 2025, GAAGO was rebranded to GAA+. And again they went on to show 2 more exclusive games while RTE continued to show 31 games on Free to Air television. Now in 2026, RTE have upped their games to 35 shown on free to air TV while GAA+ is now showing 40 exclusive games. Since they ‘paywall’ has been introduced when sky sports started showing GAA games RTE have stagnated in increasing their coverage of the games. RTE have gone from showing roughly 50% of championship games in 2013 to roughly 29% in 2026. RTE in 2013 showing 31 out of 60 games. RTE in 2026 showing 35 out of approx 120. The issue lies within RTE not GAA+. If it wasn’t for GAA+ we wouldn’t see around 35% of all the championship games. The only argument anyone can have is if your county is repeatedly on GAA+. Other than that we are so lucky that we are in a generation that we have so much additional access to view games.

Jon (@DontEatSalad_) reported@SkySports And the fact he left Middlesbrough (with chance of promotion) to get relegated with one of the worst PL teams in history? No sympathy from me.

Nacmacfeegle (@yorksrover) reported@F1Media @SkyGroup @SkySports The worst news possible. I work on cruise ships and have no access to sky. I figured F1TV would be my best option, but skys monopoly prevents me from subbing to any plan except access, which is nothing more than the 8minute highlights shown free on YouTube. This is bollocks.
