It's the little things.
Yeah but kind of pronounced McGonigle. My cousin married a McGonigle and I used to shout the line at him to wind him up cos he hated the Simpsons. Probably why I remember it more than other lines.
Tomato is kind of pronounced potato too.
True but I was too lazy to Google it at the time and still to lazy to bother changing it...Quote:

You`re back on the case Mc Garnagle.
This could be thread of the season already....
This sums up the state of the current broadcasting arrangement perfectly.

We've to wait three days for highlights in a show that used to be twice as long, being aired at the same time many people will go to matches not having a clue when they'll get to watch the highlights of what they're about to see.
Yeah, but apart from that it's grand.Quote:

The Fai lies through their teeth on this . How can the loi ever hope to develop when their being run by an organization that has no interest in it..
They're only following the fine example given by the Mail - recycle last year's everything.
FAI Statement is pretty funny..
The SSE Airtricity League can confirm that following discussions with RTE, clubs can now broadcast goals from their matches on their official club social media channels.
RTE have removed the embargo on clubs promoting their own sourced goal footage until after the Soccer Republic show on a Monday night.
This decision follows talks on Monday, February 25 between League officials and RTE Sport and is welcomed by the SSE Airtricity League.
Embarrassing commentary on our game v Pats.
Darragh Markey takes a shot for us according to the commentator (Daryl Forsyth) and then the next play they show he says Darragh Markey had a shot for Pats (when it was Chris Forrestor). Then our next effort came from Mikey Drennan who in the next attack for Pats had a chance for them.
Banging my head against a wall here but just to add my voice to it......women's feckin rugby, any old ****e, it's a disgrace how the league is treated
Careful now!! Ye have to watch what you say on such things thsese days or you might have a hastag in front of you name in no time....
Nothing wrong with showing women's rugby but the women's football team should be afforded the same space, which they aren't and never will be.
Ah there's nothing wrong with showing the women's rugby it's the pointless reruns of ****e TV shows that deserve the criticism. As the publicly funded TV provider they should be showing as much Irish sport they can get their hands on, international, domestic, football, GAA, rugby everything but instead they show the same episode of the big bang theory or whatever for the 100th timeQuote:

I'm not sure the clubs actually have direct access to the new streaming feeds (the non potato quality trackchamp live ones that were used first game of the season) that went into the grounds preseason, I think they route straight to the provider and out to RTE then. Clubs are reliant then on RTE getting the footage in, editing it and getting it back out to them or up via RTE's social media then for them to share out themselves.Quote:

Dundalk record every game, good quality. Use to do own highlights regularly online.
With all the staff we have now at the club, surely they can get the goals up online straight after a game

All teams record every game themselves to a good standard video quality with at least one camera. At every Rovers home game so far there's been 3/4 cameras minimum on the TV gantry and then the trackchamp camera is in the main stand so I don't think the problem is necessarily getting the footage especially as the home team has to have the footage uploaded to the analysis website by the end of matchnight.
Don't know about other clubs but Rovers are starting putting out their own highlights package of games so I guess they're thinking having that done well and waiting a day is worth more than just uploading clips ASAP. I guess time will tell if that thinking is accurate.

Plus as RathfarnhamHoop said they all get it off the group portal all clubs have access too, Collie O'Neill spoke about it on LOI weekly a few weeks ago too
Not saying they all don't do a great job and same for the lads at all clubs across the league but there's a world of difference between the above and the facilities and full time staff broadcasters have to get things out there ASAP, now they have the want to do it this season of course.

The new thing gone in is a trial pretty much for this season with an option to extend depending on what the story is with the league next season as that's all up in the air anyway with the participation agreement, Mother Theresa Quinn and the TV rights up for discussion too then. Baby steps this season with it all for the FAI, clubs and the broadcasters etc but all going to plan, next season there should be some relatively big news on the tv front.
Finally someone with a bit of sense, it's difficult for most clubs even Dundalk who have only a handful of staff to do this.
I was saying this to someone during the week that clubs need to get extra volunteers if they want to get clips up as they happen. Obviously you need a camera man recording and then you need someone next to him with a laptop able to chop clips and post them as needed. Not to mention the cost of equipment and software. It's not as easy as people may think. Again, this is exactly why we need a marketing budget for all clubs
There's OK shareware video editing software available - wouldn't have the same functionality as licensed software, but it's serviceable. It's the skills to use it that are sometimes harder to get for free.

Anyone know the TV audience for the game Tuesday? That'd be interesting to know
Because Eir is a subscription channel, I'm not even sure it would be captured/registered via the usual data. It's user numbers might be too low.Quote:

Are Tam Ireland/Nielsen including all the dodgy streams in those figures?😉Quote:
