View Full Version : What is it with the Echo?
10 pages on Monday night about City's win. 4 pages last night again about the win and pictures from their homecoming. Can anyone remember what Ramblers got? Weren't the Echo at the Dinner on Saturday night taking pics and absolutely **** all in the Echo about it.
It certainly makes me wonder what sort of coverage Ramblers will get from them next year eh!

Winning the Cup Final is a much bigger thing than an end of season dinner dance in fairness Luka but I take your point. They could have had a little bit on it at least or maybe they'll have something on it in the coming days.
I remember the last time we were in the Prem, City got more coverage than us but I don't recall it being OTT. City are a bigger club than us, there's no getting away from that but as long as the coverage is proportional then I don't really see a problem.

Sure how much coverage did Ramblers get for winning the League..........was it 1 page with a large photo and a few paragraphs or something?

I don't know considering I don't get the Echo in Scotland. If it was only one page then that was poor but it also proves the point that if that is correct, what made you think they'd put a piece in about a dinner dance?

Sorry DFA..........I should have made my origianl post a bit clearer. I had intended to refer to both the winning of the Div and the dinner. Basically, I'm just whinging about Ramblers' coverage from the Echo in general

Oh right, no bother. You're right though, we should expect better really.

Evening Echo sponsors us, so maybe it's understandable that they provide us with more coverage, even if the said coverage is more often than not inaccurate spoof.

yes but the half ass everthing, there a joke of a paper, all that is requried is to add one more sheet, youd swear it was rocket science, so, they paid a pothographer to go to the dinner dance, and then didnt put the pics in the paper, whats up with that, its not a difficult task to promote 2 teams, the tabloids promote 40 teams no prob,

not against cobh, against LOI in general, its the top of the ladder in irsh football, and the EPL is done more in it, they have fans comments and the likes on the top 4 and also sunderland, yet you get about a page if your lucky of both city and cobh, i understand they sponsor city, and city were the only prem club in cork, but at times they could try and match there effort for the EPL with there LOI coverage,

Forget about the eacho u will prove everyone wrong will playets who want to wear the jesery and not for money
Lads,
My point is:
City: 14 pages over two publications
Ramblers: 1 page with **** off large photo and a few paras after a record breaking season to win the Div, allbeit the First Div. I personally think they went way over the top with the City coverage. Having said that I suppose I wouldn't be whinging if it was the other way around though, but I bet the City fans would be up in arms about it.

a record breaking season
What records were broken?
77 points to win the Division. Never been won by a total that large before. Quoting Delaney on that one.

What records were broken?
first senior trophy,
27 game unbeaten run,
most points in a league season by the club,
unsure of league records, the one i know is, we finnished with more points than any other club that won the divsion,
EDIT: luka beat me to it
Finn Harps had 76 in 2004 but that's the highest that I know of.................. before our 77 that is :p

1. FAI Cup v First Division
2. Sponsors CCFC
It's a rag though.
Apart from the court reports, the only reason I get it is for City coverage which is often inaccurate but very comprehensive.
The Neil Mellor fiasco and Ken O'Connors City decade XI* could warrant dismissals in any proper paper.
I'm surprised you don't have a bigger problem with Red FM.
*I'm aware opinions are opinions but he picked George and Roy in midfield with Joe Gamble as a striker.

Fair play, didn't realise you got that many, though you did have three more games than the previous record breaking season.

They actually got 12 on Monday night including the front and back page. I kept all the papers from the weekend we won the league and i can confirm that ramblers only got 4 pages. 2 in the sports pages, the front page and the back page. For the rest of that week we had a page a night. So even then it still don't add up.
The dinner dance appears in tonights issue of the echo. 2 page spread pls a column on the back page about Hendo.
Shockin coverage all the same. With 2 teams in Cork one is still being discriminated against. Can't wait till next year when they are previewing Ramblers vs City. They'l do hlf a page on Rambler and 3 on Cork City.
Nice spread in the Echo last night lads. Saw a bit of a typo there though. Would the real Club Chairman please stand up :D

It was a bit of a laugh with the lads up there. When the pictures were being taken and they wanted to know who was in them everyone was saying they were the chairman. :D:D
