They'd have been forced to move it to Friday presumably.
Cork v Bohs is being shown on March 4th.
Soccer Republic continues to be shown Monday nights at 11:05pm.
Not really. Bray trying to establish a time for home games which they'd have to change. And it looks like RTE left it late to propose it (how long have fixtures been out, and how long ago was the change/ live game proposed)? For a change that will probably cost Bray money.Quote:

I think the away support will be bigger though on the Saturday though, however Dundalk would have brought a large following regardless of the night.
Cork v Bohs still a good game to pick, that’s on RTE, I wonder how many of the 27 live league games this season will be on RTE?
I'd still like to know when RTE said "Jump" to Bray, with the expectation of a "how high" answer. On the face of it, it doesn't seem like they gave a lot of notice.
Pure rubbish. Bray were never "asked" or never "turned down" a live game. You don't have the option to refuse a live game. You get told and that's it. Shamrock Rovers last year the example, didn't want rte to show games but still had no choice.
I didn't think any club had the option to 'turn down' a game, so the above post does make a bit of sense really.
I don't know if my sources and Wandererfan's are the same but he is correct. When the fixtures came out RTE spoke to the FAI about what games they (RTE) were interested in showing in the first three or four weeks. They did express an interest in showing Bray v Dundalk considering Dundalk are defending champions. AFAIK RTE did not and do not deal directly with any club. I do not know if the FAI spoke to Bray or Dundalk but RTE's choice of Cork v Bohs was based on whatever was discussed between themselves and the FAI. Why doesn't someone email Ryal Nugent and ask him considering the FAI tells us nothing.
So the Cork City vs Dundalk President's cup game was on the FAI's youtube page. If I had know it was going to be on, I would have gotten up to watch it. nobody seemed to know it was even on till game time. A little bit of notice and viewership could have been much higher. No commentary or anything though.
What time zone is Skibbereen in?
lol GMT but I'm now on the west coast of USA in Orgeon so that's PCT which is 8 hours behind so kickoff would have been 6am.Quote:

None have been announced. Won't be any of the next 2 weeks anyway
Another under-20 rugby match this Friday night on RTE.
RTE had looked at Pat's v Dundalk when it was set for Easter Saturday. That as since been moved to the Thursday. No word at all from RTE since the announcement of the match on opening night.Quote:

Shamrock Rovers v Dundalk to be shown on 22nd April
Quote:
The SSE Airtricity League Premier Division fixture between Shamrock Rovers and Dundalk scheduled for Friday, April 22, will be broadcast live by RTE. The game will kick-off at 19:45. The broadcast will commence on RTE2 at 7.30pm.
Darragh Maloney will presenting in studio with pundits John McDonnell and Richie Sadlier, while John Kenny and Brian Kerr will provide commentary.
Is it just cause it's the start of the season or have RTE finally ditched the 7.05 sh1te.
You think they would be showing Rovers V Bohs game
Now you know why they didn't choose that one: "Crowd trouble mars Shamrock Rovers' derby romp over Bohemians" (RTE.ie)Quote:

Watching setanta coverage of pats longford and have to say it's so superior to rtes coverage. Not rushed, seem to do research. Builds up a pretty average game very well.
Eir Sports start their coverage of League of Ireland with Dublin Derby game Shamrock Rovers v Bohemians next Friday night 15th July.
They're also showing Bohs v Derry Friday 22nd July.
What's Eir Sports - a new version of Setanta ?
Its a whole broadband package, its free if you have Eircom (Eir) broadband, but I can't figure out what you need to do to register as a non Eircom customer without signing up for their broadband.
I was signed up before this deal came in to place. 25 euro a month; don't know if you can still do it that way but I'm sure they wouldn't turn down cashQuote:

Yes I have Eir broadband but no Sky/Cable but I got on to the Eir sports on my pc with an Eir logon id. I love the line they are going with that it's "free" to Eir broadband subscribers though, as coincidentally I received a letter from Eir yesterday advising my package was increasing by €7 a month!Quote:
