Not sure about a magazine, as far as know there is none. Do people on here think there would be a decent demand for one if it was published?
Most people on here are probably aware of these sites mention below.
The best website is probably extratime.ie: http://www.extratime.ie/
Monday night soccer site is okay: http://www.rte.ie/sport/soccer/mns//
Then there is the Airtricity league official website: http://www.airtricityleague.com/index.php
This conversation pops up every year or so. OnSide magazine was launched two or three years ago but I don't think was a financial success. Since then there have been none unfortunately. eleven-a-side.com was also a good website until a few months back when they converted it into a forum.
Every now and again, someone posts here with great ambitions for a league magazine, but the market just isn't there. Magazines everywhere are struggling with falling advertising revenue and competition from the internet. A new magazine with a small market just isn't financially viable.
As an unemployable, I will seriously put together the greatest blog the world has ever seen if anyone wants to contribute to it.
If you can write, email extratime, maybe with a sample of your writing and a brief CV if you have relevant experience (like writing for a Lims programme or something). I don't know if they need writers, but it's better to build on what's there than add yet another blog no one reads.Quote:

Probably. My sarcasm meter has been on the fritz for days. Regardless, the advice is serious for anyone with an interest in the subject - many of whom have read or will read the thread.
I'm afraid my interests - Limerick and winding people up - are a bit too limited for extratime.
Stu, you shame me!! :(
what about the LOI BLOG ?????
Complete nonsense.Quote:

You can hardly talk. I can see 5 unnecessary apostrophes in the second sentence alone!Quote:
