EL weekly...

Just happend to be looking through the TV guide on Sky for monday when I noticed there was no EL weekly on at the normal time. I've checked TV3s listings on Sky up until thursday and I can't see it anywhere. Is it just that Sky have their listing wrong, or is there no EL weekly this week? And if there's no EL weekly this week, have they pulled the plug on their Eircom League coverage altogether?

I've no other TV guides in the house atm so if anyone else has one is it just Sky or are they all saying there's no EL weekly this week?

What with their sudden complaints about camera gantrys at certain grounds the timing is worrying, hopefully it's just my TV guide...

Sports Tonight is normally on before it but that takes EL Weeklys 11:25 slot. And theres no repeat of EL Weekly at the normal repeat time of 5:25am on Tuesday :rolleyes: So I doubt its on :confused: :mad:

It's not in the schedule on their own website listings. I have emailed them about it.

its scheduled on the star tv magazine!

Worryingly enough, I remember something being posted on the ultras messageboard. This was what was posted there, on thursday...

Just heard that TV3 are meeting with Pats tomorrow and if they don't get a promise of proper stairs leading up to the gantry they're gonna pull the plug on Eircom League coverage. Apparantely the cameramen have no problem with the gantry but TV3 don't want to risk 30k worth of camera falling down and smashing. The only other option is to cover every game by camcorder (most of it is anyway) which doesn't exactly promote the league. A safety cert or nothing, what will it be?

It's a disgrace if that turns out to be the case.

As Xtreme Rebel said, they did a big feature on the game on friday. Des Curran even interviewed a few of us before the game. So I assume that it will be on as usual tomorrow night.

what difficulties, load of sh1t, granada eire are o fcukin joke, we need to do something about coverage for fans and quick :mad: :mad: :mad:

What a joke! Technical difficulties?? :mad: Is this all Pat's fault?

Total disgrace! :mad:
The coverage of the Cork/Rovers match had about two seconds of football and a lot VERY interesting interviews, even Noel'VERY INTERESTING' Spillane.It was a total farce.Whats Fran Rooney's number? :rolleyes:

Missed eL weekly - what's the craic with what happened? Saw it was on, but seems to have been below even its usual standard?

Interesting to see that Sky News Ireland gave results from the League Cup on its sports round-up.

Got a reply tonight.

There is no Eircom show this Monday because of problems with the access to certain media gantrys.
We are hoping this will be sorted out as soon as possible.

well i guess it's down the situation at Richmond so, farcical. :mad:

the one show we have looks like going down the tubes now, such a pain in the ass.

lads, if anyone gets their tv signal from chorus,they cover an e/l match
from 8.30 til 9 on mon night repeated later in the week.most of you probably know this but i just discovered it by accident as i dont think its advertised in any tv schedule.the prog is called chorus sports.last night was waterford v bohs.(unbelievable bohs goal :rolleyes: )
coverage is not bad and the commentary is acceptable (although it sounds like its possibly added in).

dont suppose you know what night and time they repeat it ??
i missed the city v rovers game :)

How can issues with a gantry in Richmond Park stop coverage of the LEAGUE?

btw i thought was good feature on City v Rovers & did give a sense of the atmosphere & big crowd...

yeah the city coverage was great,but whats the point if its only one game ??? they did the same for the city v rovers game in richmond, with before the game footage etc....

and the gantree was used that night, wasn't it ???

tv3 also haven't had cameras at tolka for a while either.....shels vs us....no camera

well here is one for yee to mull over, on june 8th we play pats in richmond, if tv3 don't cover the game i will, it will be my first so we'll see how it goes, i wouldn't think pats would have a problem....any thoughts ???

We might actually take footage of you ascending up the ladder and send it to TV3 to show them its not a perilous moon mission just a poxy ladder in a TV gantry, One Small step for a Longford Fan One Giant step for useless TV3,shower of ******* they are just trying to get themseleves out of covering the EL.
