Graham Healey (@healey_faafili) reported from Salford, England@wattothfc It’s an attempt from @SkySports to attract the younger viewers. Only issue is that those kids who know who he is can’t afford the £80+ per month so not sure how/why he is appearing on the screen. At last #LUFC fans have it right “Sky TV, is ******* ****”

patrick callaghan (@patrick86000591) reported from Barton upon Irwell, England@SkySports Do me a favour! Man U 1 v Villa 0 ok there is a problem. Carrick is best manager in the Premier League but he is boring. All this winning football games is rubbish. We only watched Man U games for the laughter, **** ups, comedian coaches spouting off their rubbish. We miss em
-
Lee Gresty (@Mrloverubba) reported from Westhoughton, England@SkySports My only concern would be the inevitable bad press he will get on sky and other channels when results don't go his way. Arteta, Solksjaer and Lampard to name a few, have first been lauded for their nouveau style, then slaughtered for being too inexperienced during the bad times.

RVW™® (@BlinkandBreathe) reported@Gingeyy He's a Skysports plant. I ain't never seen this guy before. @SkySportsNews trying to gain traction. Flopped. Nobody cares.

M (@moc_kulture) reportedVery disappointed with @SkyUK. I returned my device using Sky’s own return packaging and instructions, yet I’m still being told there is no refund/update and nobody is taking accountability. I’ve repeatedly chased this issue, complaints have been closed without proper resolution
-
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.
-
Leopold&Cutler (@Leopold_Cutler) reportedHi @SkySports not sure if you can help, but I think #fanzone is somehow stuck on my audio of this #spursleeds game......if that's still a thing? As a #lufc fan i'd have preferred at least some impartial comms, not this hand wringing 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.
