After a near 2 month wait, Live Eircom soccer returns to our screens with the dublin derby between Shelbourne and Shamrock Rovers ( rovers first appearance of the season i think ),
On a personal note, as i have to work on friday evening and cant go to the Bray game, at least i can bath in the splendid display of top class action i am sure that game will provide :D
Match is live on Setanta 8.00 pm Friday
Derry -v- Shels was on TG4 last FridayQuote:

Yeah i like Setantas coverage, they have more than one camera, they seem to be taking the sky sports platform, ( quick word with the manager at half time etc ), Hopefully this will be a weekly occurance over the summer with rte and setanta alternating, think i read that there was to be 30+ games screened this season ( think that includes any FAI Cup shown )
Better then TV3s coverage anyway, that stations commentary and analisys teams are so bad I just cant watch football on it.
Yeah the off-side show was cringe-worthy at times but at least they are making an effort, Eircom league weekly is enjoyable, the more coverage the better, or as Damien Dempsey would say "Its all Guuuud"
Has it really been 2 months since the Shels Cork game?
I like Setantas coverage in general but their commentators not the best imo. When they first did LOI coverage they had Declan Drake do the commentary, he's much better imo, they should get him back in.
That was for dramatic effect, think its 6 weeks, too long anywayQuote:

Shels again ... ZZZZZZZZZZ zzzzzzzzzzzz
Why are broadcasters obsessing with this bunch of serial hackers'n'hoofers?
I can't understand either after the clinic of total football put in in Bohs two live games how they aren't being shown every week :confused:Quote:

Setantas coverage is top class - hope they stay with the league in the long run.
It's just a pity the matches that they are showing is on friday nights seen as most EL matches are on fridays and thus alot of EL supporters miss the coverage of the matches
I can't quite figure this out. The eL brings the interest of a kind of specilaist audience many of whom are out watching live football when the games are on.Quote:
