Also, I'm proud of them they mentioned the European games and yet restrained themselves from advertising the Liverpool match that'll be in direct competition for ratings with Shels-Glens. Fair play. ;) :cool:
Have to say i think osam is quiet good what he says is generally spot on though he comes across rather nervous on screen that will go after more appearances and i like the fact that hes straight to the point the total opposite of Damien' why use one word when you can use 37' Richardson
and he doesnt always agree with the other pannellist where King & scully
were generally repeating what ther other said
What time does EL Weekly actually begin at? The papers claim 11:30 but it seems to start way earlier. I usually miss it but sometimes I set my video to record it if I'm out. I set the video for 11:30 (like the papers say) but when I go to watch it it's clear that I've missed one or two of the games. What time does it actually begin at?!
stupid sky. Said onthe interactive guide it was on at 11.30, set a reminder, reminder came on, put on tv3, looking forward to seeing the city goals.. whats greeting me but Osam's grumpy head saying good goal etc. etc..
annoyed so i was..
I'd take Osam's quiet understated knowledge over the likes of Rico or King who while they may be entertaining don't make as much sense to any degree.
Began last night at 11.25pm.
Agree with Schumi. Much prefer Osam. King and Rico were brutal. Muppets - like those two who sat up in the stalls, cracking jokes, except they weren't funny.
Thought Osam made some good observations last night. Knew what he was talking about, and there was a point to be made when he spoke. The other two muppets spoke without making any sense. Used to flick over and back in between the highlights package.
It's on tonight at "11.30" so have your recorder's set earlier or make sure you switch the telly on at 11.20.
PS Sligo fans mightn't want to watch, I'm sure Pat and Trevor will discuss the Kilkenny match, just warning yez. :eek:
Look out for Ciaran Martyn's goal tonight against Rovers
Looking forward to seeing our goal without having to look around a pole. :D
Gah-zummpp !!
started opening credits
Good programme tonight. Loads of camera angles(well more) and Osam looks like hes getting the hang of it. :)
Whatever the presenters name is, he is excellent. He knows his stuff and isnt babbling and stuttering like Trevor Welch. They should have him presenting every week.
I still think Osam is a bit nervous, like Scully was last year. It'll take time, as Scully now is like a different pundit.
Was Scully all happy cos Kilkenny won? ****ing **** :mad:Quote:

That Des presenter blokes knows his stuff and delivers it well, fair play!
Osam is woeful guys.
You'd sware the guy's had a personality/charisma by-pass operation !
His monotone voice makes him sounds like an extra from 'The Munsters', and he's nigh-on a human anaesthetic.......
Knowledge or not, the guy's hard to listen to....
McHugh's goal was a cracker. As was Ciaran Martyn's.
Dan Connor is a scumbag!! He tried to take O'Donovan's head off. :mad:
I think Osam was a lot better even if he too blind to see O'Donovan clotheslined. He may be a bit nervous but he had more to say than usual cliches.
I think need to have goal of the month or profiled player weeklt. Something to break the show up a bit...
Now this isn't a generalisation of Cork natives but Alan Kelly is a panzy. McDonagh brushed against him and he's sent off?!!
And when will he sort out that hair?
Well worth it too, looked even better on TV. :)Quote:

Never been so angry at a "challenge" in my life. He should be charged with assault.Quote:

I'd agree with all of that.Quote:

Did they demote Scully to the outside seat because of his constant agreeing, its as if he doesnt have any opinion just a nod of agreement.
Osam's quote of the week seemed to be "consistency". If he is going to be consistent in his use of consistency in that boring tone of voice il be asleep before the end of the show.
anyone whos ever read Ozo's old contributions to the Dublin Daily newspaper know theres definite potential there - the question is can the limited format of el weekly get that level of wit and insight out of him???
Only time will tell
UCD goal was a screamer.
Don't think they'll have a goal of the month competition beucase they'd have to show all the goals. ;)
Best place for a big blouse!Quote:

He must have told him to **** off, 'cos he didn't seem to make contact. If that was the case, fair dues to Kelly - absolutely correct. He had no hesitation (McDonagh didn't complain either, interestingly) and I'd love to see that sort of refereeing more often in the future.Quote:

Secondly, they should cut out the sh*te analysis. The whole "there on a good run now but it's up to them to mantain it" and other obvious points they make are totally boring, but when they say ah jez back to them aul errors again it really ****es me off 'cos they only base it on 30-60 seconds of coverage they've just seen.
An hour long programme consisting of (ALL) the games with longer coverage with a wee thing at the end where fans could make views by texting in or phone-ins would be great IMO but with this being the el unlikely unfortunately :(
What really wrecks my head is when they show the players warming up and the reporter sh1tes on and on.When they show this it lasts longer than the fcuking match ffs. :mad:
IMO tv3 will never move the time slot as they know the programme has "clut" fillowing who will still watch at 12 midnight. In that way they can get better tv audience in the latenight slot.
Anybody have a clue what the viewing figures are? I've heard figures banded about of 70,000- 100,000, sounds very high but is great if it is true.

if they were to move it to this time slot they would have serious competition with sky's monday night football when the english league starts.
On in an hour or so.
