I really have enjoyed it also the last few weeks. It's relaxed, up to date with TC in tonight and quite a good laugh to be fair. I feel there probably isn't a whole lot more they can do with the highlights before people would start slating them for showing "non chances" or the like. They seem to be getting the goals and major incidents along with a couple of other clips.
Well done RTE, keep it up.
I have to agree, I think it's a great show. Still needs a little work and some of the camera work isn't the best all the time. That may in some instances be down to facilities at the grounds however.
I like the way that they have different guests in studio each week. Keeps it fresh and can be interesting hearing different opinions rather than the same old faces with the same old comments.
Well done on having Tony Cousins on as well and fair dues to him for going on. Can't have been too easy for him.
I really enjoyed the feature by Tony O'Donoghue on the Ramblers-City game. Can tell RTE went to a bit of trouble to get all the angles. It gave a good feel for LOI football with good crowd.
I guess one mistake to be pointed out tonight would be in 'Raiders of the lost archives'
Dundalk were not "already relegated" when we cost Shels the league ;)
The panel were obviously biased towards Cousins.
I think his sacking was justified.
Think its a great show. As someone else said the fact that they have different pundits on each week keeps it fresh but I do miss oogling Mr Osam.
I thought of the Wexford - Waterford game too when they were talking about the Ferry but sure they dont really think of the First Division at RTE....yet!
My son made the point that it was great to have George Hamilton commentating as even bar stoolers would recognise him and it gives a crediblity to the show that they are getting their most famous football voices working on it.
The feeling is more than mutual fellaQuote:

The Cork City fans wern't happy after the game.....where they???:D
Jeez the bald fella was like a dog and the woman they interviewed was on the verge of crying. Although she was quite offensive toward Ramblers. By saying that City should be taking three points off us.:eek: (Thats not how local derbies work be it in Cobh, Manchester, Glasgow or Dublin. No one is guaranteed 3 points in a derby...........ever)
Did you get fired by the sports department RTÉ or something in the last few days? The programme is a great advertisement for the league - no one said it was perfect but as you can see from this thread the vast majority of people like it a lot - it's so easy to be critical of things and slate everything in sight but this is a move in the right direction whether you like it or not so lose the hate.Quote:

I notice Hamilton commentates on the whole game and they edit the clips afterwards while Stephen Alkin and others add the commentating after they've edited. Is it the choice of the commentator?Quote:

I also thought the panel was weaker than previous weeks, Rico, Roddy and even Connor are better than the guys on last night, who weren't as entertaining.
He was sitting right next to him. Unsurprisingly that affect their comments.Quote:

was an excellent show again , love watching it
Agreed,love it.How long have we waited on this?Even sixty seconds was funny.Quote:

You were never going to get an exact answer as he probably doesn't know himself. Certain members wanted him out for one reason or another, others wanted him to stay. The pressure from those that wanted him gone obviously strengthened after a poor start.Quote:

Perhaps the panel didn't realise this but it seems crazy that a manager of a full-time club is not attending every training session.
I'd agree that maybe there should be more highlights - though I thought they found more highlights than there actually were of UCD v Sligo!
The reporters such as Alkin, John Kenny, Tony O'D etc. spend the match doing the radio match commentary for Friday Sportsnight - so naturally that takes up the time (sticking a radio commentary over the top of actual footage imo wouldn't work at all).Quote:
