    Live TV

    I see that Setanta/TG4 have announced another six live matches to be screened over the next few weeks, and again no sign of Ramblers. That makes 15 matches (i.e. 30 teams) and not one spot for us so far!! What's going on? It's nothing to do with our league position, coz Galway are involved in two of the six games just announced. Grrrrrr...
    Players lose you games, not tactics. There's so much crap talked about tactics by people who barely know how to win at dominoes. Brian Clough

    its a disgrace, what is it the FAI said each team should be shown 3 times, were nearly halfway and we havent been shown once, what a joke you can see the FAI still have a soft spot for galway,

    Think about what you've just said, there's a very good reason for that.

    not really galway are bottom and theyve been shown, blows any argument out the window, every team is promised 2-3 games, i read this earlier in the year when the contract for this season was signed, so there is no argument, FAI so far havent kept there promise,

    FAI don't choose who is shown.

    As Dodge has said, TG4 is a Galway based station so it's easy for them to show a Galway team.

    The Showgrounds won't have any live game this year, we were told to build a gantry if we want a home game on tv.

    Poor team,
    Poor ground,
    Poor crowd,
    Poor league position.

    Poor location would also be a factor, very easy for tv stations in Dublin to show Dublin teams. If Cork had a channel showing games, I'm sure ye'd be on regularly.

    wheras galway

    siht team
    poor ground
    poor crowd
    and unbeilevable siht position,

    yet again the saddest reason comes into it geographic location,

    it suppose to be the eircom league of ireland not the eircom league of dublin and surrounding area,

    but who am i to argue, im just from a backwater sihthole no-ones heard of

    Firstly, Galway's ground isn't poor.

    Second, it may be a lame excuse but the fact is geographical location is a big part. Galway have a tv station in their county so it's simple for TG4 to send a camera to them. Every other station is based in Dublin so again, it's easy to send a camera to a Dublin ground. Like it or not, it's fact.

    Of course location matters, because money matters. And its more expensive to send a crew overnight to cobh than down the road. TG4 aren't exactly loaded.

    The other main TV gang so far this year is Setanta. They only seem to show games betweeen the big teams e.g. Us v Pats, Us v Bohs, Rovers vs Derry etc.

    Luka said above ye can't have TV at the moment at home so it just comes down to who ye happen to be playing. If ye were playing Galway it'd be ye. But they aren't going to pick a game based on the away team, especially when the away team is in the position ye are.

    Maybe when RTE start showing a few more ye'l be shown, although given that they turned them down last season I can't see them bending over backwards to accomodate ye.

    Yet still some argue. Setanta don't show games as a favour to the league. They show games they think will be attractive to advertisers and viewers. As such they only show games involving the top 5/6 teams generally (or bigger clubs such as Rovers)

    Likewise TG4 knows that them showing Galway will be more attractive to their audience than showing most other clubs.

    But as Luka said, if you don't have the facilities, TV companies won't make the effort to see a team struggling at home
