The coverage of the Waterford-Bohs match was appalling. And no camera at Rovers v Longford are two sore points from last nights programme.

Agree. For next season every premier game should have a camera at it. If TV3 dont show the club should do it and forward it on. In fairness most do at present. But crucially all premier grounds must have decent gantries. Waterford, as was shown, and Derry are bad for viewers.

I'm all for showing first division games but not at the expense of any premier games.

no camera at Rovers v Longford.

There was 1 goal at the Cork-Longford games this season, yet TV3 showed all three games. There were 11 goals in the Rovers-Longford games this season, TV3 didn't have a camera at any of them. :confused: :( Shy coverage!! :mad:

it's a complete fcuking joke but i've completely given up on TV3 at this stage.40mins dedicated to the EL is a disgrace.Is it any wonder that the league is suffering the way it is.The fcuking idots need to cop on and realise that there is a big audience for the EL out there.

In fairness to them they make a bigger effort then RTÉ or Setanta. They only show live matches with very little background. As has been mentioned on here before, TG4 should be aloud carry the torch for eicom League football on the telly. They do a great job at it.

Don't try to patronise me, look at the footage before he took a leap into the box, or are peno's now awarded for where you land??? Now run along son, your sheep's getting cold!

Wow! I knew Drogheda had signed former million-pound player Paul Bernard, but now Malcolm Christie too! Boro paid about 3 million for him from Derby a few years back!!

Oh, wait a minute.....maybe Pat Scully really meant that they had Stuart Malcolm up front and not Malcolm Christie as he said on Monday night.:eek: Not that Fat Trev or Osam corrected him or anything. I honestly don't know whether Scully's problem is with his mouth or his brain.

lets see if the viewers see the sligo handball prior to Flannery goal ...FFS Vinny you really are a spiteful, jealous, young fella. If we're acting like that then lets see if the viewers thought our second goal should have been disallowed;)

Fair play for showing the sligo game. 2 cracking goals but why wasnt the shels game shown? Have longford given up fully on having a cameraman there? It seems so as there was none when we played there earlier in the season.

I'm all for showing the first division but the premier has to come first surely. But any first divison match involving CHF should not be shown. I mean what is the point? It looks ridiculous with about a dozen people there.

We should be selling this league via tv highlights. Cameras at ALL premier games from proper gantry positions and EL weekly on at least an hour earlier.

agree totally....elw needs to sort itself out.hve items such as team of the week and goal of the month to get a bit more interest,cos to be honest if i know rovers arent going to be on it i wouldnt watch it.

Like the FAI tried that but no answer. The sligo fan has a good point re goal of the month and team of the week. Before they used to have a goal of the month and fan interviews. Why didnt longford send the tape up? What's the point in having a camera at a game if nobody sees it?:rolleyes:
