Eircom League on Sky Sports News

[J.O.F.A.S]

Anybody see it, Looked quiet good.Pity they focused on Bohs too much....Showed the City crest on the match ticket tho...:)

Its on at 5 minutes to the hour every hour

[Slash/ED]

Is it still going on at this stage? What was it saying, mostly positive or negative?

You realize if this keeps up Sky will have given the league about a million times more coverage then RTE, they even post the fixtures and results on match days.

[yur man]

it wont last long though. as soon as the pre season friendlies kick off theyll forget about it again :)

i could never watch much sky sports news when i did have it. too much 'comin up after the break'

but fair dues to them for givin the League more exposure

[UCD_4_Life]

I didn't see it.:(

I turned over at five to nine and they had cricket on.

[J.O.F.A.S]

I first saw it at 2.15pm then twas 5.35...last time was 6.55 so they probably stopped it after that...........Its now 4.46 AM SO ILL WAIT TO SEE IF THEY SHOW IT AGAIN...

Mainly said how the summer soccer has brought fans back and Glen Crowe and how is an Irish International. Said that you can still make it in the Eircom League...Very Positive.Just hope some players saw it. I saw the City away Jersey on it.Wonder who it was! Up at the Bohs game, the white away adidas one

This was the bihs v city league match the other monday i presume?

Did they air the interviews with a few city fans? Did they show those terrible empty old terraces cos Dalymount can look real bad when looking out from the stand side at 3 empty sides of the ground?

[d13bohs]

No, there were no fan interviews, a brief interview with first Tommy Allen, then Stephen Kenny and a few words from Glen Crowe. They only showed the Jodi stand but it was during the warm-up half an hour before kick-off when everyone was in the bar so it was fairly empty

[Slash/ED]

There was another one today, which they said was the second part, showed the goals from the match and some of the interviews from both Bohs and City fans.

[Colm]

Yeah, part two of the "Special Report on Irish Football" is being shown today. It is on at about 10 to the hour, every hour.

I thought it was very good, they showed Crowe and Flynn's goals.
They showed the interviews with Eric and Ian and were talking to a few Bohs fans aswell.
They showed us waving the Big flags and talked about how the bad weather couldn't dampen the enthusiasm of the City fans.
Had a few good crowd shots aswell of both City and Bohs fans.
Dolan was on and was speaking about how he can't understand why kids in Cork wear Manchester jerseys but that you wouldn't see people in Manchester wearing Cork City jerseys.
The reporter mentioned the bar stool brigade a few times, and was saying how hard it is for the league to get the barstoolers to go to the games.

Fair play to Sky for showing these reports, they also had the goals from the Rovers today as one of their top five stories.

I'll tape the "Special Report on Irish Football" when it comes on again for those that didn't see it.:ball:

[ramsie]

i saw it today i missed it yesterday it was good
they had an interview with Liam Buckley over the phone aswell

[gspain]

Very positive reports by Sky - saw them both although Dalyter looked a bit sad from the lane.

Dolan was great on the jerseys "You don't see kids in Manchester in Cork City jerseys but you will...." ever the optimist.

2 good goals as well and a decent crowd made it look good.
