Joanne Cantwell with a rotation of Kerr, Cawley, Sadlier, Duff and Devine and I'd be happy enough to watch it. Watched about ten minutes of it on Monday, the commentary on Dundalk was just beyond terrible.
I'd prefer to see live commentators actually there watching the matches, with commentary being broadcast over the league website and recorded for use on Soccer Republic.
Cummins hearing was today. No additional ban on top of the automatic ban on Friday. Such an utterly ridiculous system. He missed most of last Friday, and will now miss his first home game, for an officials mistake, which no avenue to overturn it. Stupid.
The fact that there is no further suspension speaks volumes.Quote:

Richie Sadlier & Paul Corry doing the punditry on next weeks show according to a few on twotter.
I have less and less patience for Sadlier. He seems to have realised the Dunphy model of saying stuff just to be controversial can get you a career in broadcasting.Quote:

I think Sadlier is a good pundit in general and he doesnt shirk challinging the likes of Dunphy himself; but when doing his league of Ireland stuff on SR he can come across as quite patronising at times as he must see himself as the senior panelist (Kerr does it too so maybe its a St Pats thing:p)Quote:

That said it shouldnt take UEFA or anyone else to ensure some common sense on some things. If a player is red carded and say its mistaken identity can that card be appealed or rescinded here?
Mistaken identity is the only defence I believe.Quote:

You never see a straight red not get an additional game ban unless it wasn't actually a red in the first place. Similar to Alan Bennetts red in the League Cup semi last year that was so bad that Dave Webster had to get plastic surgery to repair the damage. Hes going to be in Cork tonight, I suspect he'll get an interesting welcome.Quote:

Commentators should never be asked to do that stuff, always sounds awful. I actually feel sorry for them, they must know it sounds awful.
It's been woeful at least since the days of Statto on Eurosport, 20 years or so ago. You'd think they'd have learnt by now.
Enjoyable show tonight, extra camera at Cork game added to the viewing experience. Good interaction between host and the pundits and the floodlight issue was handled really well.
Is anyone watching the show on the RTÉ Player finding it very patchy or is just me:confused:
Download speed i'm getting here currently 760 kbps.
Had it casting on tv, but brought it back to the laptop screen to see if it would improve - it didn't.
Also reloaded it,no improvement.
Is it me or them?
I'm watching it and it seems fine. I do sometimes get the problem you're describing with new stuff to the player so it might still be their end where the problem is.Quote:

Had the same here, but that download speed could be your problem. That's less than a Megabit per second. On a 100Mb fibre line here and I found it near impossible to watch.Quote:

On a down note though that faux live commentary is absolutely shocking.
