eircom league weekly

[Supersaint]

Just wondering, does anyone know, are tv3 the only channel that have the rights to an eircom league magazine program?If not why do setanta or RTE not have their own one, seeing as they show live games, im sure they would do a better job.

There's nothing stopping any channel showing LOI football. The contract for live football at the start of the season guarentees a minimum amount of live games. They can all show more and anybody can show highlights


They don't want to, bar TV3

[don ramo]

even if they done a trial run for six months put it on between say 6 and 11 on a sunday or monday night and just see, id sya they would surprise themselfs

I was watching a docco on New York Cosmos last night (very interesting, well worth a watch, think its called 'once in a lifetime' anyway apparently it was ABC's mishandeling of the national tv coverage that caused the downfall of the NASL, Just live games with no propper highlites package.
Just before that i watched one of the numerous 'Soccer am' style shows dedicated to AFL here in australia, the live audience shows(no matter how big the live audience is) seem to be a hit. A general football show (not like the soccer show) with guests like Zaied, O'donoven or Ndo giving their views on the weeks footie action from the CL to sunderland to the progress of wexford youths, You could even throw Wallace on as a guest. Throw in a few gimics and a witty host and bingo...Just thinking out loud..

Always thought the format of the old Soccer Show on RTE was the best we've had, better than TV3's Monday night show, even allowing for the presence of The Master Pundit. ;) More of a magazine type programme than just a highlights show, kinda like what Channel 4 used to do on Serie A way way back - highlights of matches, interspersed with feature pieces (I remember one particularly brilliant one about an LSL team made up of just Rumanians) and interviews with players, then a few journos previewing the weekend's games.

Only thing wrong with it was the scheduling - dunno what idiot decided that moving it to 7pm on a Friday was ideal. :rolleyes:

You must be joking. That was worse that what we have now. A few journos in a pub discussing the games? Oh dear.

Watch the Dutch or German football highlights on Setanta. They show ALL the games without the needless chat. Still a long way off considering some premier games are not even covered and others dont even have proper media facilities.

If they have to have a studio program then the guests should be a player or manager from each club. These could be put forward in rotating weeks by the clubs marketing officer. Then when your club rep is on they should do a feature on the team and club, maybe a few interviews in the training pitches recorded during the week. They could do it in a magazine style program presented from the training pitch, with intros for the games and voiceovers for the goals (like the Championship on ITV, which works well) All this would allow a bit of exposure for each team.

[Raheny Red]

I'll have the games which were shown last night uploaded later this evening.

[Jerry The Saint]

Good to see that Pat Scully understands the basic rules of the sport


I thought the goals were decisive tonight

Joe Gamble (judging by his Setanta interview)... not so much.

[feo123]

showed 3 games in 40 minutes + the goal from last night.....says it all. around 6 minutes football time. 30 minutes s**t talk

[TheBoss]

It has to be better, I blame John Delaney for this ;)

My cards must be marked on youtube because they won't let me upload eLW :rolleyes: :D - I'll have the rest of the show up tonight!

[Dave77]

What I didnt like about the programme last night, was how negative Keely was. From the highlights of the Sligo game I thought Sligo looked brilliant, all Keely went on about was how poor Cork were.

Lucky Osam actually praised sligo for beating a team who are one of the favourites to win the league.

Come on. Thats never going to happen. Let's be realistic for a minute. 6pm to 10pm is prime time girly soap etc time. Both TV3 and RTE get hundreds and thousands of viewers I'd imagine during those time slots. Being honest EL football will never attract the same level of viewership as soaps.

However, saturday at around 2pm sounds better. It is 1 hour before the 3pm PL kick-off for games in the uk. Having it on directly before the live PL game starts on RTE would be a good idea.

Football highlights in Britain also go out at ungodly hours, although admittedly at the weekend

no, its a terrible idea. Our grounds look rubbish compared to the EPL.

see the nod after he says finn harps.. thats cause i was in the background waving at him:cool: :p

[TheBoss]

What was with Osam, after the Bohs highlights, he had a smirk on his face and was waiting to laugh about Connor's bottoms again. Also mentioned that Joxer was under 5ft.
