Haven't seen a huge amount towards previews as of yet.
Highland Radio preview ahead of the year along with Felix Healy and Kevin McHugh. Largely focuses on Harps and Derry naturally, but does talk about the league in general too.

The excellent 8 page pull out is back in the Irish Sun from this Wednesday, that's the weekly publication. They usually have a separate pre season magazine, I think the Irish Star and possibly the Irish Mail does one also.
Owen Cowzer of The Sun preview on LMFM yesterday is a good listen : https://soundcloud.com/lmfmradio/sun...ivision-season
I think a Soccer Republic season preview show would be a great idea. Unlikely to ever happen I know..
Anybody know when the preview magazines are in the various newspapers.
The one in the Irish Mail is out tomorrow. Also, not a magazine, but the Irish Sun weekly 8 page supplement returns tomorrow. I would assume the Irish Mirror will restart theirs on Friday. Both of these supplements are excellent, actually it's the only time I generally buy both papers.
Seen on twitter the mirror will have a 16 page preview and then the weekly 8 page pull out on Fridays. Personally prefer the mirror then again I only read that and the star. Wouldn't wipe me arse with the sun
The Irish Sun is very good and the O'Riordan and Crowzer know a lot about Irish football.Quote:

I only ever really buy newspapers any more for their League of Ireland coverage. The Sun and the Mirror are far and away the best in terms of coverage of the league, but the Irish Daily Mail usually do a good pullout at the start of the season. Haven't bought todays papers yet, but last years Mail was a glossy magazine type and it was very good.
Yeah, 30 page glossy magazine in my Irish Daily Mail bought today, in Louth, pretty decent stuff, enough to get you even more excited for Friday!Quote:

I gave up on the sun about 10 years ago based on their coverage of a news-story here in Cork. Despicable.
Did you really expect to get balanced, quality reporting on national/world issues from a redtop??Quote:

Ditto with Philosophizer,
if you are reading a red top expecting news you should save yourself the trouble and buy the Beano.
The Sun news coverage is strictly the print version of Clickbait online
LOI coverage excellent ! worth the €1 on Wednesday.
