Agreed. Their previous effort at a highlights programme was very good. Hopefully they'll pick off where they left off...

While the new production's place in the schedule is not yet confirmed, it's understood that a sometime between 7-9.0 on Monday has been earmarked.

From the same link:
Meanwhile, Setanta are still committed to showing 15 eircom League games next year and TG4 will broadcast 10 in addition to cup games.That'll be nearly two games a week. :eek:

RTÉ won't be showing a game a week until the 2013 season. The press release doesn't say how many they will show next season.

Irish Mail on Sunday (and no I don't work for them or buy the paper, they just happen to be the only Sunday tabloid arsed to cover the LOI) says that €4m is expected to be invested in the show over the course of the next few years. I know nothing of TV or match filming production costs. Is that a good figure?

look at this way its 4 million more than was previously being spent on the Eircom league, so cant be bad

Another paper is saying the FAI turned down an RTÉ bonus payment to have it spent on the show instead. I don't know the details exactly.

Back in the 90s. Can't remember what the programme was called off the top of my head though

Probibly along the lines of "The Premiersh.. league of Ireland?"

It was later than that - around 2001 anyway. It was on at 7 on a Sunday. I remember beating Rovers 1-0 away (John Martin scored a cracker from 25 yards and Bazza saved a penalty), and getting back to the Montrose in time to see the extended highlights as the main match. It was exactly what we need - one main match, highlights of all the other games and proper camera angles. I remember Dundalk hammering Kilkenny in the Cup in Buckley Park being shown, and they even made that look good!

(LR - you may be thinking of the previous previous incarnation back in the mid 90s. Don't remember much of that - wasn't it on at 10 or so of a Monday?)

Which was the one were they had the journos sitting round discussing the games in an empty stand? Can't remember which one it is I'm thinking of

That was another one again - The Soccer Show, on of a Saturday morning (maybe midday).

I'm quite pleased to see the FAI actually doing something very positive for Irish domestic football. Hopefullly if RTE do this correctly we can finally begin to expand the league to a wider audience. As has previously been mentioned the key to this is filming the matches in a professional looking manner, i.e. not only using one shaky camera.

agreed....and ahve the sound right, all i can think about when i think of irish football progs is one dodgy camera, no sound from the match and a snippit of some hurling match put on repeat over and over "hurrrahhh...C'mon the banner...haurrahhhh" as bohs score :rolleyes:

RTE 2 is the best deal as you will always get more people watching than TV3 or Setanta.

all i hope for is they stream the highlights show on the RTE website - so those outside the country can catch it as well

Apparantly TV3 are looking into hosting a Thursday Night EL Preview show.


that would be good so it could put pressure on rte to produce a better programme.

Hoped Setanta would get it, as they are by far the best broadcasters around for our games. RTE will show a live game and highlights once a week and not market it, whereas it would be shown numerous times and marketed well by Setanta, especially during the summer with no other football leagues on. :(



yeah but everyone that has a tv in this country has rte....

Personally i prefer setanta, but supersaint is right. bigger potential audience from rte, no matter how they market it, if they do at all.

Has anyone heard of any further details of the highlights package that RTE will be producing for the season? Living in Edinburgh means that I obviously can attend games but last season I could watch them on RTE.ie. Would be great if I can get the highlights too.

All that is know is it will be 8-9pm on Monday nights. No information on the format (all games shown, interviews, previews etc...? ) & I believe the FAI going to work with RTE on it.

8-9 pm would be a much better slot than the TV3 timing over the last few years. Any ideas who the pundits would be? Most original answer wins Fcek All!

Ray Houghton might do it. he seems to have an interest in the league lately

Packie Bonner too spoke about his desire to have a strong national league on Off The Ball last night.

Osam gets a different reaction from different people though. Some find him boring to the point its like hypnosis or narcolepsy kicking in and others find him nauseating and feel like prising off their kneecaps with rusty screwdrivers as a result. The point is people will have different views of pundits. If the pundit in question is really bad then all the views will be bad, that's the chance you've got to take.
