I would love to do it. Shame I'm in Dublin. And it would help out with my degree.

Nige, you should do the Sligo games.

Between Goal and extratime, budding young journos can build up quite the CV without payment.

I'm sorry, Doctor Pedantic Pat. :tongue:
Didn't think a gentle wee pull required any great degree of numerical accuracy, consider me suitably chastened. :laugh:

We've had plenty of applicants from Dublin, but could do with a few more from the other teams in the league.

I'd be delighted. Of course, their games aren't entertaining in the slightest so I'd just be bored.

They always leave out "Use your own time and money to make us higher profits" from the specs. I just can't fathom why. Maybe they're just sillies.

Then you'd think they'd send more people to Pats games in that case.

Wonder what percentage of writers for Goal Ireland are voluntary at the moment. if the journos get on to their nearest asian bookie, they could probably get a few quid while they're there.

Somewhere in the region of 100%, give or take 0.01%, I'd say.

If ye get that many visits, why don't you employ (you know, with a wage an all that) somebody properly to do these roles? Without content, ye're nothing. You'd think that fact would merit you actually employing people.
