That is typical 'Irish', The man uses the digger to remove a plant instead of doing the proper way and more quicker with a shuffle.

[Rovers Maniac]

It's hardly the time or the place for a Village People tribute gig.

They do sound that way inclined alright to be fair.

Do you speak English?

Isn't it a bit silly to ask that in English?

Isn't it a bit silly to ask that in English?

Not at all. It is the ideal language to ask such a question.

Now that'd be worth seeing - just a quick shuffle and it's out!

The new stand at the RSC opened for yesterdays FAI Junior Cup final and was filled with Carrick fans who enjoyed their teams 2-1 win. It makes its Eircom League debut on Friday night v Wexford youths. Its a fine stand with far better toilet facilities than the cramped ones in the older stand and makes the RSC look a decent stadium now.

That's great news for the Blue's, going to be a big crowd at this one wouldn't be suprised if it will be the record attendence in the First Division this season.

[oldyouth]

There will be two offices, in which 1 will be used by WUFC and toilets (including for disabled) underneath. The new stand will seat 1700 patrons bringing total covered seating capacity in the RSC up to 2955.

There is also talk of the extension of the existing stand which could happen in the medium term.

What's the story on parking at the RSC for tomorrow? Looking forward to the game big time

The new TV gantry at Terryland is almost a year old now and is largely unused. GUFC requested RTE to submit a proposal as to the design of the TV gantry. The suggested specifications from RTE were accepted and construction began. GUFC were keen that TV cameras would be located on top of the old stand and would show off the new stand. Unfortunately, TV cameras cannot use the new gantry because both corner flags (on the same side of the pitch as the gantry) cannot be picked up by the cameras.

Presently, RTE shove their camera man in the brand new stand.

Anyway, a use for the new TV gantry was discovered last Friday by none other than Harps' manager Paul Hegarthy who was serving a ban from the playing area. He perched himself up on the gantry for the entire game shouting at his players and making telephone calls, allegedly to the bench.

I was wondering who the hell that was up there!! he was quite animated at times!

I don't want to have a go here but is it not a basic requirement of a TV gantry that a camera in it should be able to see the whole pitch?

Is that a folk-up by RTE or Galway?

There are plenty of pitches where this isn't the case - many Magners' league grounds for a start - All that happens is that the director switches to a different camera for action out of sight of the gantry camera - unless that is the only one there of course.....

[Schumi]

Actually, this is the case in Tolka as well, thinking about it, and it looks terrible on TV.

[Sheridan]

There's a portion of the pitch at Tolka (by the touchline/corner flag at the Riverside/Ballybough end) which doesn't have line-of-sight with the gantry. Mind you, as big a club as Udinese used to suffer from the same problem (I don't know if it's still the case.) Huge poles (lower-case, although I've found the upper-case variety in my way on occasion in Ireland) obscuring parts of the pitch.
