    Stephen Kenny reckons Derry City could win the league.

    I'll just let that sink in here.

    Don't see why not, settled side with one of the best midfields in the league. Depth is an issue but let's be honest, Dundalk won the title with about 14 players.

    Damien Duff reiterates his desire to play League of Ireland football and that he'll be back in the country in April/May.

    Whether it is possible to see this show outside of Ireland, whether it will be available on YouTube or anywhere else in the coming days?

    Cheers

    He was in the Showgrounds on Saturday night. I'd wager that he had a trusted pair of eyes and ears in Tallaght on Friday night.

    So he's had an early look the four chasing clubs and decided to throw a curved ball.

    Last year an edited rest of the world version became available later in the week (having removed assorted bits - english premier league footage - presumably rights issues). This may or may not still be an issue this year - had an irish abroad section, did that have highlights?

    Do what DannyInvincible says, I watched it from England last night almost immediately after it finished using that method and it was fine.

    It will be the same this year - international version available during the week.

    Though the show was poor last night. The format is stale and it is certainly not helped by having Peter Collins as the presenter.
    Tony O'Donoghue's contribution was just embarrassing.

    I really like the show. I think people can be extremely harsh on it. Its a remarkable step up from M.N.S, and terrible time can be overcome by simply using the internet after the show has aired .
    What do people expect from the show? Its pretty similar to the other R.T.E sport shows. Its not perfect, the biggest annoyance for me of the show is that it is on Monday night instead of a Friday.

    Life supporting the League would certainty be a lot worse without it, and I think people should be a lot more appreciative of the show.

    Well, Friday would be unworkable as the games only finish at 9.30 and any away fan and those of us who go out after wouldn't get to see it. With the Premier League on Setanta, Saturday would be workable but obviously RTE don't want to give up valuable ad time.

    This doff the hat attitude to any crumb we're thrown is part of the leagues problem imo.

    But back to the show... Still, after all these years in various guises, is that there's too much talk and too many gimmicky crap, and not enough action. Tony O'Donoghue might as well have saved that stupid Irish Abroad slot for Game On on the radio, as without any of the action to show while he talked it added nothing. The ask the manager slot - what was the point of that? To save Peter Collins from having to think up bloody questions himself? It was supposed to be a League of Ireland show, but RTE go out of their way to dilute it as much as possible with English/ National Team stuff that has loads of bloody outlets already.

    Edit - decided to come back with a suggestion, rather than just criticise... Instead of the aforementioned Irish Abroad slot and Ask the manager, they could do a feature on a club, management committee/ board, supporters club and what activities they are doing around the club, fundraisers, club in the community, club developments etc.

    If you attack me with stupidity, I'll be forced to defend myself with sarcasm.

    That would involve doing some work - getting out of the studio, making enquiries, arranging meetings, filming, editing, etc. etc.

    Why do all that when you can do Irish Abroad from the multiple websites available and Ask the Manager, well let him travel from Cork or Donegal or wherever.

    A club focus would be a good idea and let people see all the effort, hard work and commitment that goes into running a club.

    I enjoy the show but please stick to the League of Ireland.
    If they need to fill time then focus on the League by going around to the clubs who take part in it.
    There are plenty of other media outlets for the International & Uk stuff.
