Was that Cup/Internationals deal not with a terrestrial channel (RTE or TV3) ?

Haven't seen any Sky promotion for the IL match, so will be interesting to see how they cover it. Looking forward to some channel-hopping as well myself tonight.

Bohs v Dundalk in the 2002 final. Sky showed extended highlights. Also showed highlights of of the Bohs v Derry & Dundalk v Rovers semi finals on Sky too. Plus St. Pat's & Derry were on Sky too. Anyone remember the Carlsberg Cup in Lansdowne Road?

They showed goals from the Coleraine-Distillery game, Glentoran-Armagh and some other game on Saturday. Actually it might've just been the two. Both were highlights, not just the goals. And they covered both halves, with a post match interview. A lot like el weekly and whereas TV3 had all weekend to edit the footage, BBC have about ten or fifteen minutes.

They also have a local sports show on some weekday which tends to have IL and the cups coverage.

UTV also show goals from some matches occasionally.

You're right on the Carlsberg Cup. i Even have the video evidence, so should've remembered thatone....:D Did they screen Pats the following year (98) ?

The rest were just highlights - regardless of how extended. I was referring to live games. I'm fairly certain there have been no domsetic games live on Sky from the EL....!?
