I thought joe dropped off the deep end in the show when he said Keith Ward was the best player in the league :(:rolleyes:
Keen fan of Keith and all i am but even he knows the craic!?

i think Joseph's exact words were - He's the best footballer in the league, but not the best player.
I cut him some slack as he's not speaking in his native tongue. But in my mind, he was trying to say that Ward is the most naturally gifted player in the league, but not the best player. Maybe that's a bit of an over exaggeration, but in terms of raw skill he's up near the top for sure. Some of the touches he's had for Bohs this year and the assists and mazy dribbles he goes on are sensational to watch. In terms of raw skill i'd have him up there with McEleney, McNamee, Miele, Maguire, Dooley etc, but he just needs to improve 1 or 2 aspects of his game to be considered as good a player as those guys.

Soccer Republic - Monday 3 July, 6.30pm on RTÉ Player and 10.55pm on RTÉ2
Get to watch SR at a civilised time , happy days
Good development. Will this also happen in weeks with Monday games I wonder or will they slot in those highlights on the later TV version.
It's on - web only - now.
Great to be able to watch at a reasonable time
Do you have to watch it at exactly 6.30? I can't find the episode to stream right now. Only last weeks episode available.
Exact same for me EL P, only last week's episode on when I went in to watch it (around 8pm) so I can only assume you have to watch it live. Pity its not stored to watch, all the 'benefit' of the rte player and I still find it easier to watch it on record on my tv at 9pm or so on a Tuesday !
Have RTE just used phone coverage there from the Derry match in Sligo last week?
