(As a new neutral) I Think I would have preferred Shels/Sligo
Suppose Shams are champs after all

Looks like we're going to have to win FAI cup again this year, if we want the privilege of seeing the Bit-a-Red.:victory:
What d++k head in RTE sport, decided that last year's league runners up and Cup winners, don't figure in this schedule which was greeted with fanfare.
Well done RTE you've excelled yourself once again.:cyclops:

Welcome to foot.ie Mr. Sweeney :p
Who cares. Sweeney is not a representative of Sligo Rovers fans, even if he seems to have has appointed himself in that role.

In fairness to him Dong he's one of the few journo's who tries. I didn't like his negativity today, and at other times he's been spiteful, but maybe some of ye can have a word in his ear and he'll settle down and be positive.

Looks like going to the games themselves may help.
In the EPL, the current title holders are always on at 4pm the first Sunday of the following season. In the Bundesliga, the current title holders are always at home on the first Friday night to begin the first game of the new season on tv. In Spain, Real or Barcelona's first game is always live on the box. Ditto Italy, France, Scotland etc...
Never mind though, a newly promoted side and second place in the league meeting each other, is more glamourous than showing the double champions opening game in our league.
Apparantly.

Now it may well turn out to be a better game, but 'on paper' the match in Tolka should be much better.

I'd like to see a preview show of the weeks action, especially this week at least ahead of the start of the season. Wishful thinking again I guess!

Not sure if its been posted already but Linfield and Derry in the setanta Cup will be live on Setanta.

The season is long. It was only the first 5 fixtures that were announced. I'm sure Sligo games will be covered.

Much ado about nothing really.
As a Sligo Rovers fan I'd much rather us not be on tv as there is no money to be gained but I'm sure we would certainly lose some on the gate.
I wouldn't mind some of our away games being covered though.
There is also absolutely no truth in the rumours that the board have refused to change kick off times

Wait a second……..why the bloody hell isn't Limerick vs SD Galway being televised on Friday March 23rd. A bloody disgrace….typical bias towards the big teams.

Can't we just blame Derry? No reason really. Just for the craic.

So thats Shamrock Rovers and Derry being blamed. We'll never hear the end of it from the Sligo Rovers fans now, what about them?

For the record there's no discussions about live games being moved. RTE tells the FAI what games they want, and thats that. Clubs can't say no, and the league doesn't need agreement of the clubs

That would coincide with my own understanding but you better tell Placid casual who "was privy to the initial discussions that were to take place regarding our clubs being put on the box".

They could turn up and play on the original date for the craic. :)
Sunday at 1, a big gap in RTÉ's schedule because "Game already played on Friday"

I do, in this instance beacuse I was privy to the initial discussions that were to take place regarding your clubs being put on the box.
No calls were returned by board
Can you back this statement up or just more waffle?

It's pure and utter nonsense he was drivelling, like the majority of "in the know" Shams supporters. Privy to initial discussions. Aye, right.

But if the nefarious Rovers/RTE cabal is as extensive as you are constantly reminding us, why would it be surprising that a Rovers fan would have insider knowledge of the behind the scenes workings of RTE?

No, what's boring is reading reams of absolute waffle about Rovers/RTE conspiracies to monopolise the league; that even includes the embarrassing, deluded ramblings of two bob Sligo hacks in national newspapers

No, what's boring will be the same team being live on TV for 4 of the first 5 live league games of the season.

This discussion is boring, Enjoy your healthy diet of Shamrock Rovers, and you should probably try and get used to it for the sake of your own mental health.

I plan on watching Rovers every week, not just the opening weeks..it'll be great

I thought Eamon Sweeney's article was alright. I mean it'd be better if he could figure out which SRFC he actually supports from week to week, but he made some valid points, especially about the de facto national team thing. I wouldn't be particularly keen on Rovers doing a PSG and pinching supporters from non-Dublin teams.

We had 11 of our European games on live tv last year. How did you cope?

He's ready. How about your manager?

Thought the coverage of the match last night was awful, RTE seemed totally despondent of drogheda against the mighty rovers. It seemed that they thought Drogheda where lucky to be playing on the same field as rovers, as if it was by luck of the draw or something, not like they havent been in the premier longer than them. There was total lack of respect given to drogheda.
