    RTE

    sorry to post this rant, but today St Patrick's Athletic got one of the best results in the history of our league, and RTE 9 o'clock news didn't even give the fooking score!!!

    Their sports news consisted of talking about a Liverpool friendly. Disgrace!!

    Hardly surprising though. They don't give a fcuk and haven't for years and won't for years to come.

    You should send it to MNS. I don't know what a politician can do though.

    6 O'Clock news didn't mention it either. Started with Dunmanway, then Cork City, then on to GAA.

    In fairness to TV3, as bad and all as it is (eL weekly included), their sports department usually put LOI football ahead of english football in bulletins. As they did this evening. Started with Dunmanway alright, but at least there was an Irish team involved. But they went on to St Pats after in fairness.

    RTE radio sport was treating Pats as first story all evening though, weirdly.

    I'm pretty sure that it was the first soccer story on the Six One so it's kinda baffling that it didn't get a mention on the 9 o clock news.

    Off the Ball had it as their top story as well. They spent a good few mins at the start of the show talking about the result.

    I tuned in to the 9 o'clock news especially to see what they'd say.

    Instead of even a mention of the Pats score - a game that had finished 4hrs earlier - we were treated to salivating coverage of the visit of Liverpool's U14 B team to Ballygoplaybanjo in West Cork or wherever.

    'The biggest day for Ballygoplaybanjo'. What about the biggest result for an Irish football team in years you fcukwits ?

    I'm emailing the jokers as I type. They really are un-feckin-believeable in Montrose.

    Has a bit more anger and a bit less 'bite' than I'd usually resort to, but I am genuinely angry at the feckers :

    Dear Sir/Madam,

    RTE are nothing short of a disgrace - worthy neither of the title 'national broadcaster' nor of the TV license money that you continue to have handed to you on a plate under that pretence.

    Earlier today, Irish football club St Patricks Athletic pulled-off a fantastic late away comeback against a quality Russian side to advance further than any Irish club has ever gone in European football. With only 20mins left in the game, and looking dead and buried at 3:0 down, Pats rallied to finish the game 3:2 and progress past the Russian's on an aggregate scoreline.

    The game finished at 5pm Irish time - over 4hrs before the sports section of this evening's 9 o'clock news. Yet despite this, RTE deemed the event unworthy even of a passing mention.

    To add insult to injury, you instead did an in-depth story on the visit of an Under 18 Z team of professional bench-warmers playing under the badge of English club Liverpool FC to a village in West Cork. A big day no doubt for that village in Cork, and probably also a big day for the Liverpool players - most of whom are doomed to never start a senior game for their club. Yet was it more worthy of mention thatn a thrilling and spirited away performance by a senior Irish club in European competition, and their progression to a level never before reached by an Irish team ? Any sensible or balanced analysis would say not. But you couldn't even bring yourself to mention the St pats score in your programme tonight.

    RTE are nothing short of a disagrace. You are NOT by any stretch a national broadcaster - as if you were you'd be mentioning Irish news, rather than triping over yourself to chase after nobodies from the youth section of a British football team. You don't deserve a penny of license payers money for your disgraceful and continuing ignorance of Irish football, and this view will be made verty clearly to my local politicians.

    Yours in disgust,

    Steve Bradley

    P.S. Please don't respond to tell me all the wonderful things you do on MNS. Yes, it is a good show. But as we both know, you only air it because the FAI forces you to. Your coverage to Irish football is, and always has been, nothing short of pathetic.

    You're clearly a total mentalist. Or blind.

    Nice letter Steve, I may follow your lead in the morning. As you mentioned, the sense of injustice is compounded by the "Liverpool" coverage.
