Maybe you should pm WAR with your thoughts!
what a load of bolleaux. correct me if i'm wrong but this is the fifth time this season...... The Eircom league should not allow this.
In fairness lads, the first time they were on live this season was against Bohs on the opening day, I don't think RTE could predict their season back in April!
there after selling all there best players. how can TG4 justify showing them again????? there players are only getting 50quid petrol money ffs....
But we want to watch a good match with good players..

ye and how many players where you forced to sell that season ? none
were we are now on our 16th different team this month!
.....ehhh I think we ended up selling the lot soon after.....avoided relegation place in last home game of the following sseason :D

The following season from the deduction? your point being?
you were crap the following year and it was the deduction the year before
was the reason ok now i get you! not
8 points deducted just wondering does anybody think thats was lenient ? the 8 points deducted was a fudge because there is nothing in the club licensing rules to say that points can be deducted , the only punishment in the rule book is that they should have had their licencse revoked and kicked out of the league thats why it was not challenged by rovers
To paraphrase that Brummie character in the Harry Enfield Show - "We are considerably more famous than you" :D
RTE must be full of Rovers fans then? ;)
This Rovers famous thing is like Preston North End or Burnley or whoever else going on about all their wins in the eary 20th century :rolleyes:

Rovers is a cult and, like any good cult, we have members placed purposely in crucial sectors of society.
We're basically the Freemasons on Bulmers.

as opposed to all the trophies you have won in the 21st?!?
not our fault that the general public would rather watch a poor rovers team than the best ever c awk side :p
the only irish match that ever drew a tv audience worth the name was the pats bohs semi
class game, involving Ireland's most loved tv heroes and bohemians
have it at home - písses over anything the LoI has ever contributed to telly land

AWwwwwwwwwwwww. How unfair. The league are picking on the poor shams again. Give them their points back - plus an extra 10 for good behaviour. Lord knows, they're gonna need them.
Better still, apply the letter of the law to all clubs and revoke EVERYBODY'S Licence.

as I keep saying come back to me when your back in the first division
and all your fans disappear again! More players than supporters in longford
a couple of years back.I know because I was at more games down there
than a majority of the so called fans you have now!
Fairweather fans!

Not everybody LIED to the league & submitted the SAME accounts two years in a row . :eek: :eek: :eek:
I don't think anybody is denying what the crooks who ran our club for too long did, but let he who is without sin cast the first stone. NO club in this league meets the requirements of the manual if you actually read the thing.
I can understand Cork and Derry fans but Longford?

First, fans whinged that there were no matches on tv. Now when there are, they whinge that the same teams are on. Some people are never bleedin' satisfied. :mad:
Unlike in England, the current tv contract for NL games does not stipulate that x club should be shown a minimum x number of times. Glamour sells in this country. In the NL, Shels, Rovers, and Bohs sell; Longford, Waterford, and Drogheda don't. The live games shown on tv reflect that.

I think your level of glamour was well fairly represented last night indeed. A shockingly dull game. The Milk cup on ITV was miles better.
Keep On Struggling.
TV stations won't show a game from Longford simply because of the possible embarassment of having a camera pan into the crowd, only to find a few hundred people wearing ' I shot JR' t shirts

Hows about this. Show 20 odd live games next season everyone from Turners Cross. Would that be acceptable? Clearly it wouldn't.
TV should show the best teams not those closest.

We still need to address the TV revenue issue. The income should IMO be split amongst all the teams, not just 5K to the home team. At the very least both teams playing should get some contribution.

Agreed, with all the bad publicity RTE are getting re TV Licences, etc. it makes more economic sense to screen a Rovers game and get their fill of footage for Crimeline at the same time.

Hard to argue with that. at least we're gettign some coverage of the eL.
But it would be nice if one of the tv stations actually showed some of City's European games.
