Fair enough, I think this has run it's course anyway. Time to put it to bed, well until we get drawn in the cup!

Some good ammunition for twitterers talking to K Brennan tonight. He was embarrassing in the lead up to the second goal.

Glad Sadlier picked up on it as it was not mentioned on commentary.

Good to see Brennan's antics were highlighted. Some terrible camera work in some of the games.

Anybody use RTE player to watch it? It's gone to the dogs, huge amount of ads. After a round of ads it will then go back to the programme for a few seconds before yet more more ads, very frustrating.

Yeah it is painful with all the ads, and doesn't play at all with adblock on.

If you're really lucky it will tell you it can't play unless you change your adblock settings when you don't have any.

I think if you set adblock off for the start then turn it on during the programme it will kick in then. This only sometimes works though.

Tried RTE player when I was home (specifically for Soccer Republic), ads were as terrible as described. Internationally it's just GAAGO and other RTE promos, but they go on for a couple of minutes. I ave up trying to watch anything on the TV3 player for the exact same reason, 3 minutes of adverts before anything kicks off.

I'm not a fan of them, but google seem to have gotten it right in a way with youtube - small ads on the bottom of the screen. Though they also allow an ad to play for at least 10seconds before a video before you can click off. Maybe our broadcasters might look to keep online viewers happier like this? Then again, we're sheep so we'll keep coming back.

I just loved Soccer Rep’s reporting of Dundalk’s 3rd goal v Galway ‘And you just cannot leave someone of the ability of Paddy Barrett unmarked like that’

Mmmmmmmm

I have the Adblock Plus extension on Chrome and it works perfectly, have not seen an ad on the RTE player for months now! [Its turned off for this site ;)]

Repeatedly confused Dean Clarke and Vinnie Faherty during highlights of the Cork Limerick game also.

Bit of a sickner for Bohs the manner of that late goal against Dundalk.
On the plus side it was definitely over the line.

Ah poor old Keith. Fabulous player, but his future is not in punditry I fear. :o (Then again the questions from Peter Collins did just invite bland answers)
