Not from these quarters - this highlights programme could be the best thing since professionalism for eL football.
Delaney just said on RTÉ that it will be a "Monday night prime time slot" and is "a fantastic deal for the league".
this i think is a huge step in the right direction into getting the barstoolers out of their seats.......and into new colder ones lol
but really its huge with the live games and highlights this means the league will be in peoples faces and more unavoidable.
never thought id say it but fairplay the fai
Next step is getting proper television gantrys where applicable, so that grounds look better on television.
very true in most grounds u can either see random floodlights and poles looks very poor
Excellent deal by the FAI.
Just pray to god Monday prime-time doesn't mean after 11.
Bravo to the FAI.Quote:

Anyways this is great news, but RTE are sickened by having to do this. You can just tell.
I would like Delaney to clarify exactly what time "primetime" is...Quote:

Im happy all the same...
there not going to shift prime time, questions and answers, or the news off RTE1 for it. if its RTE 1 it'll be after 11 id imagine. not sure about network 2?!Quote:

Agreed. Until the above and the improvement of grounds around the country this deal means jack **** as right now it ain't going to attract any more fans.Quote:

Wonder are RTE being forced to do a professional job on the presentation side of things? I'm sure the studio will look decent but will everything else look amateur?Quote:

Some of it is. Some of it is camcorder stuff. As I said everybody who does it at any club is to be applauded but hopefully now they won't have to.Quote:

Agreed. Their previous effort at a highlights programme was very good. Hopefully they'll pick off where they left off...

While the new production's place in the schedule is not yet confirmed, it's understood that a sometime between 7-9.0 on Monday has been earmarked.
From the same link:That'll be nearly two games a week. :eek:Quote:
Meanwhile, Setanta are still committed to showing 15 eircom League games next year and TG4 will broadcast 10 in addition to cup games.
RTÉ won't be showing a game a week until the 2013 season. The press release doesn't say how many they will show next season.Quote:

I know nothing of TV or match filming production costs. Is that a good figure?
look at this way its 4 million more than was previously being spent on the Eircom league, so cant be bad
Another paper is saying the FAI turned down an RTÉ bonus payment to have it spent on the show instead. I don't know the details exactly.
FAI in turning down hard cash shocker :eek: What next, Bertie applying for the kiddies super saver account??Quote:

It was exactly what we need - one main match, highlights of all the other games and proper camera angles. I remember Dundalk hammering Kilkenny in the Cup in Buckley Park being shown, and they even made that look good!
(LR - you may be thinking of the previous previous incarnation back in the mid 90s. Don't remember much of that - wasn't it on at 10 or so of a Monday?)
Which was the one were they had the journos sitting round discussing the games in an empty stand? Can't remember which one it is I'm thinking of
That was another one again - The Soccer Show, on of a Saturday morning (maybe midday).
I'm quite pleased to see the FAI actually doing something very positive for Irish domestic football. Hopefullly if RTE do this correctly we can finally begin to expand the league to a wider audience. As has previously been mentioned the key to this is filming the matches in a professional looking manner, i.e. not only using one shaky camera.
agreed....and ahve the sound right, all i can think about when i think of irish football progs is one dodgy camera, no sound from the match and a snippit of some hurling match put on repeat over and over "hurrrahhh...C'mon the banner...haurrahhhh" as bohs score :rolleyes:Quote:
