    Except those abroad. RTE player abroad consists of mass, lotto, nationwide. Pure shite.

    Shame RTE region blocks its service for an All Ireland final given the amount of people who have been forced to emigrate.

    This has nothing to do with RTE. GAA have sold their international rights to premium sport.

    Before talking bollocks – at least know something about the bollocks you’re talking

    @paul, seems you have an axe to grind with the RTE player, did you not take my advice on how to get the match on the RTE player while abroad??? Seems you prefer to complain than to actually follow my solution.

    @Tiger, any way that works its great. I signed up to ‘unblock us’ for a free trial, this lets the rte player think you’re in Ireland, then watch the match as if your at home, in good quality, VIP box quality isn’t great, also I think the GAA matches are no longer available on it.

    Vipbox.com provided the game for me. RTE is brutal.

    I watched it live in Nairobi, Kenya on Setanta Africa. Great to get it, pity about the result.
