I got a mention
http://www.rte.ie/sport/soccer/mns/features/conmurphy/
Apart from the e-mails which come into to us - and we've had several hundred at this stage, for which thanks - we also look from time to time at the various fans' forums on the Internet to see what the general reaction to the output is like.
One contributor calls me a fool every week, and gives out about the fact that I say soccer instead of football. The irony is that I said football many more times than soccer in the show this week, but some people get a bee in their bonnet about something and tend to listen with rather closed ears

not a good report for the Rovers-Galway game, focused on all the negatives, even though there was a GOTM contender & a bit of magic from seamie, no replays?
Someone didnt recognise Georgie. He'l be gutted

Did your man just call George O'Callaghan, Denis O'Callaghan:confused:

Anyone else find it interesting, that when asked about How he'll cope with the league considering he's not played in it, and been out of Ireland for years, he said he dosen't see it as a problem, but then goes onto say the standard in quality is obviously a bit lower, or something to that effect...
Considering he was playing with Kidderminster, bit worrying for Galway fans if he thinks non-league in England is better quality than LOI!:eek:

Your correct there Dunny! Stephen Alkin is the commentator afaik! A premiership regular :rolleyes:
No discussion on the Galway Rovers game at all. Typical.

I think he was talking in relation to the bulk of his career over in England rather than specfically non-league football over there.

Sean Connor's shirt makes him look like a lollipop.
He seems to hate Ramblers aswell.
Seamus Coleman is a class act too. What a run:eek:

was Doolin for real in his interview - we were the better side in the second half - does this guy actually believe this crap? He looked like a rabbit caught in the headlights. Muppet

I thing he means after ye scored, in fairness drogheda had a good 10 min spell until Stu Byrne got sent off
Killian Brennan-I was only showing my appreciation for the Drogheda fans :D

In the full interview last night, he claimed they had the better of the first half and they second half was probably more even :rolleyes:

might have looked that way on TV but from the terrace it was clear we huffed and puffed - we were toothless tbh Thiam was a waste upfront - Doolin basically brought us to 10 men by bringing him on - the game was crying out for Tony Grant.
The fella randomly gong off with stories is doing my head in.

To be fair, it was in the context of all his playing career. I dont think he meant the club he immediately came from. In all fairness, i dont think he'll walk into that one.
Blackburn are better that Galway, end of.

Did anybody else think that there were alot of poor reffing decisions? Kelly, Buttimer, Connolly, McKeown all very poor from what ive seen this season

This season? Buttimer especially has been poor for a bit longer than this season ;) (yeah I'm aware you've already been pulled up on this.)
But I'm not here just to have a dig...... ah sure why not. Some cat decisions well highlighted by MNS.
EDIT: I quite enjoyed Phillip Quinn's ramblings, I hope they bring him back.

But they've been getting away with murder, shocking stuff and now its on telly they cant hid it anymore.
Did they send off a manager for giving out about a line ball? That is actually unreal if its the case.
Agreed with the panellist that they should revoke the red card from Wes Charles and fine your man. Unreal stuff there, i mean everybody takes a dive but most try and make it believable anyway. Unless Charles had a taser up his sleeve your man was blatantly trying to get him sent off.
killian brennan the pre madonna of the eircom league!:rolleyes:

Although I am not in the habit of repeating myself, would 5 minutes of First Division coverage really kill yez. MNS could make up the additional cost by cancelling a few sunbed sessions for the presenters

Going to cover games at the business end of the season apparently...

Faz goal was an absolute cracker, deserved to be reshown - what was the gesture to the crowd, was he peeved at not starting?
That Sligo player murdered by Wes Charles should be ashamed of himself. Wes should just go s*it or bust and level him completely nexty time we play Sligo to show him what a real challenge was like.
Great to see officials being shown up for ineptness.
All well and good slagging our new Sensai's hairdo, but at least he has hair, eh Cookie! ;0)
