**Iorfa2MaccaJim** · 18/05/2009, 5:11 PM

As usual M.N.S. is on tonight at 8pm on RTE 2.

**Mr A** · 18/05/2009, 5:21 PM

Word on the Cork forum is that Tom Coughlan will be on the programme tonight.

**niallsparky** · 18/05/2009, 6:54 PM

Don't know about Coughlan but Keith Fahey will be on the couch.

Oh dear, i hope this is ok

**Dunny** · 18/05/2009, 7:17 PM

He's on now.

A fair grilling by Con, I suppose there are no real answers until next week.

**Mr A** · 18/05/2009, 7:24 PM

He could have asked him about the comments from the examiner, but the interview was too short to really grill the guy. Also, the panelists appeared to know feck all about the situation.

**gael353** · 18/05/2009, 7:25 PM

con started in asking him the big question, what about paying the tax man then withdrew (possibly got a nudge) and said good luck tom.

**OneRedArmy** · 18/05/2009, 7:29 PM

Declan Hanney fuppin muppet.

**niallsparky** · 18/05/2009, 7:29 PM

Coughlan certainly didn't look too comfortable there.

**Candystripe** · 18/05/2009, 8:01 PM

WTF..how was the Derry goal disallowed?

Amazingly bad decision as per normal.

That had to be the save of the season from Dan Connor as well.

**peadar1987** · 18/05/2009, 9:17 PM

I preferred Skippy's save from the first game of the season against Shams, but then again, I would!

What do people think about the way matches are presented on MNS? Personally I'd like to see a bit more buildup play before the goals, and maybe have more video during the analysis instead of just looking at the presenters. Ideally I'd prefer to have commentary on each game instead of just the voice-over, would having 5 separate commentators be too expensive though? Little quibbles aside though, I actually really like the show. Well done RTÉ

And have Sligo set a new record for the most balls thrown at a player on thunderstrike?!

You should pass your suggestions on to MNS in an email. New ideas and opinions are what the show needs. mns@rte.ie

How the hell Chris Turner got those yellow cards I will never know. Well done Mr McKeon you ****.

It's down to quality of the footage I expect: most of the time its from one video camera done by the club cameraman, so one angle, and if you slow it down, the poor quality becomes really noticeable. Like the Derry 'goal' for example: there was only one angle available so it was impossible to know if it was offside or not.

You are joking?

**Conroy** · 18/05/2009, 10:04 PM

Why would he be joking? He should not have got 1 yellow never mind two.

Not sure about the first yellow but it didn't look like a foul. He got booked for a handball for the second yellow when he headed it.

Good point. I wonder how much it costs to get a few extra cameras? Do you think it would be worth it for the amount of times they would be used?
