Fair play to Bohs, good use of Social media to promote the feedback from the UK visitors as well.

However on that point on the security, was the Luas not bricked on Friday and the Gardai told all football fans to get off at some point?

shuuuusshh that sort of thing ONLY happens at the Brandywell dont you know :cool: looking forward to the press release(s) from Tallaght condeming the stone throwing (same text as last year perhaps).
No way would shams apply double standards

No LUAS from Tallaght after the game, not sure why though.

I'm thought "De Herald" would have gone massive on it, whilst comparing it with the fun loving jolly japsters at the RDS the same night.......

Well I don't know, I don't go in the away end and I don't read other message boards. All I know is fans from other clubs can pay at the gate.

Why would the ghost of Ollie be camped out in Tallaght?

Nah, that clown Byrne that writes for De Herald is a major Hoops cheerleader (and Aidan Fitz would not stoop so low ;)). Would expect the same people that made such a scene about the Derry incident to be up in arms (in the inteest of consistency of course)

You must be feeling charitable to describe that barely literate muck Byrne produces as writing.

Barstoolers had no hash tags to play with tonight so #EA Sports Cup went top of the trends on Twitter in Ireland tonight.Still running on 6th at the moment.

Next job we have is turning those tweets into attendances.

Article from legendary LOI fan Brian O'Connor in today's Times: http://www.irishtimes.com/sport/baye...inal-1.1399538

He lauds Bayern for treating fans as "customers" among other things.

What a wonderful article. He hasn't a single interesting thing to say, and couldn't be bothered doing a few minutes' research. So instead he pads paragraph after paragraph with asinine stereotypes, and excuses himself by saying he knows they're stereotypes and that the dreaded tabloids will hate him pointing this out. In the end all we get is: 'German clubs play good football. They're not broke.' Your average 10-year-old would produce better.

Just seen a facebook event page titled "Blues away trip to Shamrock Rovers" created by a Birmingham supporter based in Dublin. Cringe.

To be fair, any trip further than the sitting room must qualify as an away trip.

He can't even be bothered to get his geography right, Wembley is not in West London,

Possibly but says he is from Dublin. And funny you should say that, I do have to move away and tonight is my last home Limerick game for a while, having not missed one in about 3 years. Of course I won't stop supporting Limerick but I will also defiantly take an interest in Toronto FC, where I am moving to next month.

Oooooooooh. Keep the seats warm. See ya for the first game of next season. IEC ftw! :)

Couple of old lads in the pub last night (not really "barstoolers" since they didn't seem interested in football at all) were confused by "Lim" and "Sli" on the TV.

"Sli. Is that Sunderland is it?"

RTE axes its Premier League show to save €1.3 million: http://www.independent.ie/entertainm...-29341140.html

That'll be TV3 bankrupt within 3 years after it pays for the increased rights package.

RT� were losing 1.3m a year on Premier League coverage?

Wow.

When's the FAI/MNS deal up?
13/06/2013, 12:41 PM
Charlie Darwin

It's up this year as far as I know. Can't imagine this will have any effect whatsoever on the LOI coverage though. RTE is rugby country.

I'd say it's typical business speak, trying to make it look like they're saving more than they actually are. I reckon it cost €1.3M to produce, and they haven't taken into account the money they'll likely lose in advertising revenue.

I'd be surprised if it wasn't profit making though. (And presumably it didn't make a profit, so I'm surprised)

My only concern with MNS is that if they're cutting the Premiership for cost reasons...

(Also, kind of coincides with Greece axing its entire national broadcaster for cost reasons)

But the other thread has a comment that they're focussing more on home stuff, so that's ok. If it's meant!

If they more of less gut the coverage back to what it was, next to nothing, they can close RT� as far as I'm concerned. In the last month, I'm pretty sure the only things I've watched on RT� were MNS and a live match.

Horgan's goal was posted to Reddit.com's soccer section by some Austrian punter under the heading "Cantona style goal scored in Irish league (sic)"

This cabbage then comes along and gives his two cents, of all the places to bring it up too.

I assume he didn't mean shockingly good. There are arsey comments like that any time thescore.ie post an item about the LOI too. Some people feel the need to obnoxiously justify their own worship of the Murdoch money machine.

I'm sure my "does your telly know you're here" response made him rethink his whole position on the issue too.

Sky are nudging in on the Pro 12 with a deal starting in 2014. That should see RTE nudged out of the rugby market. RTE could easily use footage of ex-LoI players playing for Ireland to promote the domestic game.

They should be OK for the next 3 or 4 years anyway. The Pro 12 seem to be anxious for a lot of the games to remain free to air, but I'd say that will change in the coming years. At least one of the Leinster-Munster matches will be on RTE/TG4 next year, unless TV3 or Setanta assume the rights.

Yes. There was more in the comments. That made me die a little. He's from Blayney. Constantly barracked him to head to Gortakeegan.
20/06/2013, 12:42 AM
Charlie Darwin

To be fair, Blayney is far closer to his TV than Gortakeegan is. You can't blame somebody for not going to games when they don't have a local team within 20 yards of their kitchen.

RT� will probably show the likes of Blackrock College playing rugby instead of more LOI matches.
