Anybody else having problems with the RTE player?

All I'm getting is the sound, same when I try to play Nationwide so it's not just a problem with RTE Two.

EDIT: No problems watching RTE News.

[micls]

Same for me.

[celticV3]

Was just about to ask. Hope they sort it quick. Thought it was a browser problem but tried a few with same issue

[bennocelt]

same here

[passinginterest]

Not missing much so far anyway. Cancelling each other out in midfield for the most part.

[CrowdedHouse]

That idiot with the drum is annoying me

[celticV3]

1-0 Rovers, Danny North.

****ing RTE!!

[Stevo Da Gull]

Lucky boy, Peers. Both feet left the ground.

[BonnieShels]

Lads if ye ever have problems with RTÉ you should check out www.aertv.ie
I'm watching it there without interruption.

[Trainee]

Half time in terryland, Good half for both teams as they still have 11 players each and they are not loosing

Its 1 all

[passinginterest]

Shaky start from shamrock rovers but threatening to run riot since taking the lead on the half hour.

[micls]

We might actually win a game!

[Trainee]

2 -1 mervue

[Trainee]

now 2 all in terryland

[sullanefc]

CCFC 4-0 Mons

[micls]

5 now.

Officially not the ****tiest team in the league-get in there.

[dong]

Good result for Derry considering their injury woes.
Thought we could have worked harder for it to be honest.

[thomas72]

limerick 1 up gaffney

[micls]

6-0 now. Davin with a hattrick.

Some beating that.
I'd say the Rodster has some mug on him.

Have cows been grazing on the Sligo pitch ? That surface looks brutal on the tv...

[PartySaint]

12 man Drogheda got the point they were looking for tonight.

Another struggle for us to break down a team that has no intention of playing football against us. We need to turn these draws into wins, we have only beaten really poor teams so far

So by that logic you can't be that great at the whole 'playing football' thing yourselves? No point in playing a style of football if you can't perform it well.

Lol get over yourself.

Pats were toothless tonight. Didn't do enough for the win and in the end were fortunate that they came away with a point after we had by far the best chance of the game.

Perhaps they could take some of the excess sand from Athlone's beach?

Yes, that was my point, read my post again. We will come up with plenty of poor hoofball teams like Drogheda throughout the season, we need to learn how to put them away.

[MeathDrog]

My gripe was with the "no intention of playing football" bit. We were well organised defensively, only Mick Cooke's tactics were well off in the middle of the field, hence the domination of posession by Pats. It wasn't about 'stopping' the opposition tonight, and I think most neutrals would agree that we are not a hoofball team.

[dfx-]

I see Pats fans have quickly forgotten what they excused as 'football' under moany Mahon..

6-0 :cool2: Gary is cashing in this season..

Match on it monday in horrible conditions and its been ****ing rain ever since, tonight was probably the worst ive seen the pitch in bout 3 years but it has a 10 day break now and assume it will be back in its usual pristine condition. On the match it reminded me of the game we played on tv last year where it was also 1-1, we scored first had a couple of chances to add a second and then derry scored and not much else happened in the game though that was a great strike from the derry lad had that hit the bar. Thought crowd was good for the friday nite but strangely it was probably the smallest crowd i ever seen travel from Derry in my 20 or so years going to the Showgrounds. I know the friday 705 wouldnt have helped them but read somehwhere earlier in the year(think it was the shels game) that was a poor away crowd aswell??Any particluar reasons for this as ye always have brought biggest away crowds to the showgrounds??

[PartySaint]

Same thing you did under O'Neill

[dfx-]

Au contraire, PS - Rovers fans are not going to be forgetting O'Neill's reign anytime soon. Or appreciation of the football played.

[SwanVsDalton]

Good result for Derry considering their injury woes.
Thought we could have worked harder for it to be honest.

I couldn't belive the time McEleney, McDaid and Deery had on the ball for long stretches. Rovers appeared to stand off a lot.

Hard working just-about-deserved point for us. Very good considering injuries and tremendous improvement from last away game against Drogs.

[bullit]

Holy cow we were hit for six tonight and every goal that went in was like a personal punch in the face for me.Only for Cherrie it could have been 12-0:mad: Shams never had to get in to top gear at all.

Foran and Shields had a bit of a set- too just to add to the humiliation and i dont think that Dundalk had a shot on target the whole game.
Do i sound as if i am pished off? Because i'm bloody livid and this is me with a good few beers in me.How in god's earth did we manage to beat Longford on Monday??

I am away before i say something that i will regret tomorrow.Dundalk are in tatters.

[bullit]

ps
i survived all the punch's that were thrown at me outside the ground after the match and the Rovers pirck that got one from me thanked me for it,clean hit it was ;)

[Dalymountrower]

Entertaining game in Belfield, it could have been 3-6 given the chances. UCD are by far the best footballing side we have played yet this season, when they have the ball. Their defence and defensive midfield were poor though. Bohs played what looked like a 3-4-1-2 formation. Bizarre as it sounds ,it actually worked!

[micls]

Some beating that.
I'd say the Rodster has some mug on him.

He's only a boy in a man's job ;)

[Pablo Escobar]

He's only a boy in a man's job ;)

We were up against a poor team last night but looked a completely superior team from 1 to 11. Only for us wasting a load of chances it could have got embarrassing for the league, nevermind Monaghan.

[wonder88]

Another important result for Bohs. There is already a gap between top half and the other six and it will be interesting if "the split" in the table remains for long. The surprise for me so far is Drogheda while fans of the two sides hit for six last night must be worried. Limerick's win in Wexford probabaly means that the first divison will be a two horse race. which reminds me I need to put a bet on one for later.

Maybe we'll get the people who own our stadium to lend us a.....

No, wait.

[Dave_SRFC]

Dont understand whats wrong with not owning your own stadium?

In fairness with the Greene and Turner thing Sligo don't seem to own there own players half the time maybe thats why who owns what matters to em. :p

[sligoman]

Cork Tom has backed Drogheda to win the league.

[CSFShels]

6 goals later that ****ty banner probably didn't seem so cheeky.

[Cuyahoga]

There was almost as many Dundalk fans there last night as there were goals scored against them.

[born2bwild]

Yes, that was my point, read my post again. We will come up with plenty of poor hoofball teams like Drogheda throughout the season, we need to learn how to put them away.
Very surprised to hear Drogs described as a 'poor hoofball team'. They have some pretty good ball players.

Well you can't call it "your own" for starters...
