Euro 08 qualifiers tv rights

[theleprechaun]

hi, could anyone tell me if rte have lost the rights to some of the qualifier matches for euro 08 to tv3. thanks

[theworm2345]

I would assume RTE have them because Setanta USA is going to have them (with a 3 day delay :mad: ) which is the same as all the other Ireland matches in the past, which have been really an RTE feed (I think)

Are the home games on Sky. Almost certain they are with full delayed coverage by either RTE or TV3. The away games are usually sold by the home country federation and then sold back to the higest bidder to televise.

Afaik, TV3 have the rights to show the away qualifiers, similiar to the away qualifiers for Euro 2000.

please no:(

[tetsujin1979]

Seeing as how I only remember us winning one game on TV3 (3-2 away to Malta in 99) I hope to God this isn't true!

Getting a bit worried about this - at the moment, no-one is showing it. Sky only have the rights to the home games in the UK but have shown the occasional away in the past (Switzerland away last time out). Channel 5 have shown plenty of our away games in the past but theres nothing on their schedule. BBC showed our game in Paris but they're showing England and Scotland. The best bet will be to find a pub that regularly shows GAA as they can usually get an RTE feed.

[Soper]

Aye, I might do that.Or I might pop over to Rosslare for the evening, I'll find out during the week.

[cavan_fan]

In the past Setanta PPV have shown matches with litle notice, I see they are showing the game in the US, so I would suspect it will be on this (fingers crossed)

[petef]

Any update on the coverage? Cant believe no one will be showing it.

Hi

Could anyone advise pubs with irish tv that will have game on saturday. I live in south east london - but willing to go anywhere really

[endabob1]

As it stands it is still not being shown on domestic/satelitte TV here, as someone suggested earlier find a pub with an RTE feed and try them.

Get the train down to Brighton - the Lectern and the Fiddlers Elbow will show it.

(I woudl have thought most pubs will show it since it's on after the England game but those 2 always show the Ireland games anyway).

[lofty9]

Try Skehans on Kitto Road in New Cross. I watched a few Ireland games there a few years ago. Ring them on 020 7207 7706.

[superreds]

guys, do any of you know of how I may to able to watch/listen to the game online. I am in Malaysia at the moment and they wont be showing it live here.

Thanks

There's a trio of pubs by me in Tooting that usually get the Ireland games between them: The Wheatsheaf, The Mayfair and Jack Beard's. All prettty easy to get to. I havent checked yet though- will do tonight and update.

My uncle goes to a few around New Cross way aswell; will check tonight too.

I'm apprehensive about this game, but there's no way i'm going to miss it!!!
