Bizarre choice of game. Not likely to interest people living in Louth, nevermind outside.
Fiercest derby in the countryQuote:

Hardly a big draw alright but would risk that just to see a game outside Dublin (just !) get coverage. There has been critisism of RTE for saturation coverage of the shams games todate so here at least is an alternative.Quote:

Other optionsQuote:

Bohs v Sligo - maybe, but assume Sligo going to be on fair bit (3 home games from 6 so far)
Bray v UCD - clearly not an option
Derry v Shels - 2 mid table teams
So it boiled down to Bohs v Sligo or the Derby game. Don't see an issue with that
9 games shown live in the first series, 6 of them outside Dublin...Quote:

We don't all watch TV to throw things at Derry people on screenQuote:

That's one of the games I was referring to that would pull a bigger audience.Quote:

Sure you wouldn't be tempted by the free package of crips?Quote:

You're just relieved they're going to spare you any further Bohs related embarrassment in the attendances thread... ;)Quote:

Should have been a red card. Horrible challenge by McCabe.
Best Ref in the league Kelly.
