Anyone notice the following line on the RTÉ article about their 2009 coverage?


RTÉ Aertel will also provide the quickest and most reliable latest scores and results over the 2009 season.


:eek: :D

On the morning of the day our national league restarts the first 3 headlines are "AShley Cole is drunk and disorderly" (A story or an observation?), "Liverpool mulling over tour of Asia," (A club is thinking of maybe going to Asia...and that's a story?) and "Hughton foresees Newcastle survival." (Who?) There is absolutely nothing at all about the LOI.

Just got this from the Newstalk site. The Friday Night schedule. It doesn't look like they will be changing much.

'19.00 - 21.00 Friday - Off The Ball Extra2 hours with Oisin Langan providing you with an in depth preview of the weekends sporting action. With regular focus on GAA, Premier League soccer, rugby, golf and horse racing, Oisin will have you fully prepared and in the know for all sporting events of the weekend, as well as keeping you up to date with all the live sport of the night, with the latest from the top Eircom League and Magners League games.

Not much use if it's over at 9:00.

Listened to the 3pm and 4pm news on a few radio channels and not one mention of the new season on the sport. What an absolute joke.

In fairness RF, 2FM and Today FM had match pre-views on their sports bulletins this morning, Havent heard any bulletins since.

Newstalk are 'discussing the LoI' on their Saturday Sports Show tomorrow.

Are the first division clubs now helping out RTE by sending in their own reports? If so it looks like they are letting RTE off the hook but better than nothing I suppose.

The Div 1 clubs were all asked to submit reports to aertel and RTEonline.
Which on the one hand is cheek of the highest order, but on the other at least means they'll be up there.
Well, the Friday night ones were up, but the Sat night games didn't make it as far as I could see. They are up on the website though.

A good few of them were just ripped straight from the extratime site.Pretty dangerous way of doing things in terms of mistakes / inaccuracies etc.

Wouldn't think that's what happened sb, partly as it's not too cool, especially for a national broadcaster, and partly as it would require someone to actively go and do it!
I'd say it's more likely that whoever sent those particular reports to extratime sent the same ones to RTE as well.

All extratime's reports come from their own reporters at the games. There was a minor error in one of their first division reports at the weekend, which RTE also carried.

RTE probably don't really care one way or the other. I'm just concerned about what'll happen if Drogheda get relegated, imagine their website reports on RTE! :eek:

Not wanting to get into an argument with you SB, wasn't watching the site all the time, if you read ripped reports I can't argue with that.

But looking at the reports on the RTE and extratime websites now, there's 5 matches covered by both sites (Longford-Monaghan game is not on the RTE site). One of those I know for a fact is not the same as I sent in the RTE version. The other four don't look at all similar, certainly none of them are 'ripped straight from' the other.
Having just been made away of the error in question though, it certainly seems to be the case that at least one report was partly based on, ahem, 'liberated' information. :D

Also pretty unethical and illegal if true. I see that assertion has been challenged, but if RTE are doing this without permission then the copyright owner (for second publication), i.e. extratime or the writer, should politely send them an invoice.
