GAA streaming service slams dodgy box owners amid struggles

They are not happy.

Clubber provides coverage from 14 counties, including Cork, Kerry, Tipperary, and Waterford, and shows over 1,500 every year, including club and underage games.

It costs €149.99 for an annual pass and around €11.99 for one match, with weekly deals on offer as well.

The founder of the company, Jimmy Doyle, has come out strong against dodgy boxes and those who use purchase the devices, blaming them for the potential loss of jobs and comparing their actions to those of shop thieves.

Speaking with the Irish Examiner, he said: "It's not unreasonable for us to assume that there is at least 40% leakage right now of people who are just watching on the dodgy box.

"We have about 15 people working directly for us, and we have a huge network of videographers and commentators in every county that we operate in. So if we go, all of these guys are going out of jobs as well.

"It's theft from a small business and others like us. You're taking that out of my company's pocket and our ability to stay in business.

"It's the same as walking into your corner shop and taking a loaf of bread and milk and walking out the door."
