You'd think they could've shown sligo instead of putting osam and mulligan on the spot for ten minutes forcing them to think of something to say to fill time. The analysis has got worse on that show gradually and it's time for them to change to just showing the games and goals for 30 mins and a ten minute round up at the end with a bit of chat and the upcoming fixtures.

In fairness to TV3 they make some effort & it doesn�t cost us a bean! (Biased or not) The extent of RTEs weekly domestic soccer coverage is a 4/5-page tele-text effort & Mark O�Neil-Cummins opinion of the league, & that mostly relates to matters off the pitch. I don�t think I have seen Rovers mentioned on it, except maybe once? & it cost us �154 a year. National Broadcaster? My Bolli*

its all great and well saying there was no camera at the game but tv3 decided to take on the coverage of the eircom league so they should cover it properly.that means sending their own cameras to the game.it seems to me that they have anm attitude of "well if sligo want to send up a tape of the game we'll show it but if they don't we don't give a sh!t".its the most biased programme ever.shams are regulars on it now while country teams like the rovers are shown the odd time.

Maybe thats cos Shams do send their games in i'm sure TV3 dont send their own cameras to their games.

In fairness, if Shams can send tapes, resulting in more coverage, shouldn't we be going down the same route instead of sitting back complaining?
How much would it cost to stick up a decent gantry and buy/hire a camera. You could put up a hoarding/ stick an ad in the programme and on the website for whoever supplies coverage - "Mickey Muck provides coverage of Sligo Rovers for ELW, why not get him for your wedding/party/Youth Defence wireless bungee jump outing".

This has gone beyond a joke now. FFS, tonight they didn't show our game against Longford and also had Keith Foy down as Robbie Foy in their goal of the month nominations. ****ing tools!:mad:

Definitely going to email them now, even though it prob wont make much difference, it'll make me feel better:).

If anyones interested, here's the address: info@tv3.ie

Disappointing that there was no coverage tonight. Camera was there�must have got lost on the way to Ballymount. Threw them an E.Mail of complaint last week, as yet no reply..must have got lost on the way to Ballymount.

Do you reckon that Robbie will rival Keith for the Irish number 3 spot??

They must have been listening to ye lads cos i thought they gave us good coverage tonight:)
Priceless at the end when Oso said "They'll have some Singh-song if they do (get into Europe) and then him trying to keep a straight face:D

Nice coverage tonight alright.

The pun was ridiculously stupid...

Matty on it was just so, unexpected and then...lol :D

12/09/2006, 9:28 AM

don't get too excited yet lads, remember we were playing bohs....wait and see what sort of coverage (if any) we get when we play ucd,waterford or bray for example!

RTE did show a Rovers v Shels game years ago, when Mark Huthinson was playing. I remember the gantry was on the Jinks Ave. side of the ground. Why cant we do that again....If we beat Killester were on tv anyways, cup 1/2 final is always shown live..........!!

Yeah, it was a gantry built up on scaffolding. I remember Pat Dolan climbing up it to do the commentary. He got some stick for from the crowd.:D
I guess there are so many safety rules and regulations now, that it would not be allowed. Pity.

Havent read through all the posts but get the jist that Rovers fans are ****ed off about us not being on eircom weekly lately.

Now I do not know how it works , but will find out, but do clubs not have to pay TV3 to show the highlights of their games????

If so could it not be possible that we are no longer paying this small fee(soemone mentioend �300 per game Saturday night)to show our home games.

Why should TV3 all ofa sudden drop rovers games from highlights especially when we are flying high???

(dont shoot the messenger just passing on what i heard)

TV3 paid a lot of money to have a camera at the game, only for the bohs cameraman (who gives TV3 footage) to them he was headin down & did they need the tape.

btw their budget only covers 2 games per series.
