[WeAreRovers]

Derry v Cork is on live on RTÉ Two on Friday 19 August. Programme starts at 7:25. That's assuming RTÉ can find their way out of Dublin. ;)

[Éanna]

damn bloody right its being shown.

[Anto McC]

I've no doubt we will see why they don't leave the capital that often,My prediction for this game 0-0

[De Town]

Thank God!

Can't wait for that game, it will be some cracker :ball:

[Lim till i die]

That's assuming RTÉ can find their way out of Dublin. ;)

KOH

I'll believe it when I see it :D

[pete]

Have RTE ever been to the Brandywell?

Looks like RTE dumped TG4 (were they not to show games throughout August?) off that game as high profile.

Maybe the FAI/eL made a suggestion to RTE?

[wws]

Yet another example of the anti dublin bias from the Red Necked Kerry Socialists that run RTE......AND TO THINK I pay my licence fee for this!!!


disgraceful.....wots their email address???

[Ruairi]

I've no doubt we will see why they don't leave the capital that often,My prediction for this game 0-0

*cough*bitter*cough*

yes, the two most attack minded teams in the country, 66 goals scored between them, and it's going to be a boring nil all draw... get a grip mate..

[Supersaint3]

Hear hear, perhaps we could form some sort of committee.....?

[A face]

That's a joke, Rovers v UCD will be of interest to far more people














;)

[Sheridan]

Have RTE ever been to the Brandywell?
They broadcast the cup semi between Derry and Waterford live last year.

Also, wasn't the first-ever eL fixture broadcast live on TV staged at the Brandywell in 1997? Derry were certainly involved, they beat Shels (?) 1-0 with a stooping header (Hutton?)

[WeAreRovers]

how did u find this info out?

I have inside information. ;)

Edit - Whoops, in my excitement to relay this exciting news I overlooked the fact that RTÉ are also showing Cork City v Shels on Monday 15. This pro-Cork bias is getting ridiculous.

Of course! Its statistically proven that games between Dublin teams have more goals.

Christ almighty :rolleyes:

Obviously the dawning prospect of a 3rd place finish is making people in Drumcondra cranky....

Looking forward to the clash of the table toppers!

[Peadar]

Make a protest by throwing your TV out the window. :D

Dont give the useless b@stards too much credit its a top of the table clash ffs. If they didnt show it tyey could hang their heads in shame.

I said nothing about stats,I'm not from Drumcondra and i'm looking forward to it too

[wws]

Of course! Its statistically proven that games between Dublin teams have more goals.




it is actually a statistical fact. So that ends that argument - you can check it on the RSSF site (havent a link handy). Dublin introduced football to the country and to this day are the principal purveyors of the game. Country people codefied their stick fighting and games of chance with a meeting in a Thurles brothel in 1888 in response to the 'Dublin' game......this organisation is known today as the GAA

However Dublin extended the right for country folk to play real football in 1971 and now even Cork people like Roy Keane have gone on to represent Ireland in football, only 20 years ago it would have been unthinkable for a non dub to play in the green of ireland.

[Krstic]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe that the first ever live televised European game involving an Irish team to be broadcast on RTE was Derry City Versus Benfica back in the 89/90.

[Cosmo]

I know its probably being mentioned before but why do they show live matches on friday nights? Why cant the match be changed to a day it doesnt clash with most other EL fixtures like they do for the Premiership. Would make more sense to me

[Peadar]

why do they show live matches on friday nights?

What night do you suggest?
I'm sure there'll be a good argument against that night.

The first time a game other than a Cup Final was featured live on Irish TV was Derry v Benfica from the Brandywell in 1989/90. Benfica then managed by a certain Mr S G Ericsson.

RTE have been to the Brandywell a few other times as well. Just not much in recent years.

[Cosmo]

What night do you suggest?
I'm sure there'll be a good argument against that night.

Well any other night - saturday or sunday? ie a night where the majority of EL fixtures arent on

[Poor Student]

Well any other night - saturday or sunday? ie a night where the majority of EL fixtures arent on

I completely agree with Saturday night. Though during the EPL season would it not clash with Premiership highlights?

[pineapple stu]

I think in RTÉ's defence, they've never been scared of travelling to the depth of mucker land and are showing Dundalk-Drogheda this month as well. 'Tis just the other two that need sorting out!

[bigmac]

RTE have been to the Brandywell a few other times as well. Just not much in recent years.

Hasn't been much point up to this year though, has there? I know from the TV crews that certain grounds are preferred due to ease of installation of facilities. For example, the RSC in Waterford is supposedly the easiest ground to film in, now if only we had something there that people would want to watch :rolleyes:

[Peadar]

the RSC in Waterford is supposedly the easiest ground to film in...

It looks terrible on TV though!
Bohs and Pats have the right idea with the cameras looking onto fairly decent stands.

[exile]

For example, the RSC in Waterford is supposedly the easiest ground to film in, now if only we had something there that people would want to watch :rolleyes:

ye should try and bring in halftime beheadings or public stonings for people caught shagging sheep that would be a big crowd puller imo

[Peadar]

RTE have been to the Brandywell...

Steve, leave your keys under the mat. We'll be all heading round your gaff to watch the match while you're away. Don't worry, we won't break anything, valuable. :D


that would be a big crowd puller imo
On the flip side, it would mean the execution of the majority of their existing fans. :D

[Jaime]

......AND TO THINK I pay my licence fee for this!!!


Eh...

[exile]

only for the ones that are actualy caught :D

Sickening, do these c*nts even know there's a league outside of munster/ulster? :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

[bigmac]

Not to worry, sure there's plenty more of them down the cross :D

[Peadar]

sure there's plenty more of them down the cross :D

Yeah but ye usually flee before the final whistle.
Ye'll be gone out of the place by 21.00 tonight.

[superfrank]

FFS, why does it have to be the same night as the Bray-Harps match??? :mad:

I wish I could watch it. I might video it. :o

[Slash/ED]

We're playing Bohs at home, I'll just tape it and avoid the score.

[pete]

Thats crazy decision. RTE are clearly trying to derail out title ambitions as we have traditionally been bad on live tv.

:(


;)

[wws]

There should be an eircom league game on every day of the week.....that would keep everyone happy

[carrickharp]

About bloody time!

[Roo69]

Your on twice (http://www.irishfootballonline.com/news_story.php?newsid=3347) within a week so fcuk up moaning !

We are top of the league (http://www.soccerbot.com/fai/tables/irprem2005.htm) with the last few weeks so we're singing and dancing !! :p :D :eek:

[MariborKev]

Have RTE ever been to the Brandywell?

Shame on you Pete :D . RTE have gone so far as to cover a Derry City v Cork game from the Brandywell before. I think Pat Morley scored for you lot on that occasion, was an awful game.

Derry have a tendency to play poorly when the cameras are in the Brandywell so lets hope for a good, open game of football

[Slash/ED]

It'll have to go some way to top the entertainment fest that is Rovers v Pats.

Who's idea was it to televise this game?

[pete]

We were the same until this season. I think when teams are not on tv very often they are nervous.

[Poor Student]

They're also going to show Cork v Shlebourne on Monday August 15th from Turners X. Cork twice on RTE in the space of 5 days.

[pete]

Showing Cork City twice in 1 week is just an unusual event that Aertel had to annouce with its own page. :eek:

[hamish]

I see TG4 have an EL game next weekend as well. Very poor crowd at Shamrock Rovers/Pats game tonight. :( - on TG4.

Did you watch it all Hamish? How was the game? It had 0-0 borefest written all over it before it kicked off in my opinion. Can't figure out what possessed them to show it.
