Classic Osam tonight- "This was Drogheda's first chance of the first half." A clip from the second half was being shown.
Some Goal of the Season May is going to be! McWalter's brace, Hutton's lob and Molloy's free were all superb goals.
Deery's volley from Waterford which was scored in April didn't feature in April's GOTM. It's not difficult to get the month right. Clip below

Why did they keep calling Dalymount Park Tolka Park during the highlights of Dublin City v Pats, its only a small thing but shocking unprofessional like
Also was anyone else just waiting for that poor cameraman at Longford Bohs to be blown off the gantry to his death :eek:
That's all well and good for someone like you who knows every player in the league but that cannot be said for the entire TV audience or every league patron. Squad numbers help raise the recognition of players and allow match programme editors to have players identified by number rather than people having to write the number next to a player if they can make out what is being announced over the Tannoy.Quote:

Then again Dublin City have changed grounds & club name more times then Osam has joked about not being a gambler...
Don't intend to take over this thread on this topic, but (a) I don't know every player in the league and (b) they don't help the recognition of players any more than normal because (i) we already have a system whereby numbers are assigned to players for identification and (ii) I don't know the Shels/Cork/etc squad numbers.Quote:

Agree with stu
After saying(rightly) shels were the only team unbeaten he proceded to say Derry have won all their games bar drawing with Dublin City :rolleyes:Quote:

I try to watch it most weeks and I continue to be disappointed. Things dont seem to have moved on at all since the programme started.
Patsy McGowenn made the point in his column that he finds it strange why the Cameras are always facing away from the crowd and into empty terraces.
Most notable for this are..
Sligo Rovers,
Cork City
Waterford united
Derry City
Just makes the matches look sh1te.
Our cameras face the most vocal and colourful group of supporters in the ground! We've always got a fairly good crowd in the Derrynane Road side. How could you have watched the highlights from the Waterford game last night and said that "the Cameras are always facing away from the crowd and into empty terraces. Just makes the matches look sh1te."?Quote:

Yeah but emptier than the Derrynane these days and very little atmosphere in it(bar the family enclosure). The cameras are in the right place IMO which wll catch the singing and colourful supportQuote:

I much prefer the old school 1-11. It also enables easier identification of opposition in my opinion as I can identify players I've never head of by their number which equates to their position.
So when the new Shed is built you think pointing the cameras at a small little stand about 6 rows high and with houses in the backround is more pleasing to the eye than the Donie Forde stand?Quote:

There'd still probably be a better atmosphere in the derrynane. I dunno it depends what the atmosphre is like in different parts of the ground then. For now I still think its in the right placeQuote:

Agree with harry here. Not so bad in cork because they are getting the crowds and have moved the away fans to the smaller stand but the main gantry should be facing the main stand as that is the best stand in the ground generally.
Worst example is waterford simply because you are looking out at nothing. Cannot understand why a small gantry is not built, even temporarily, to put the camera facing the stand. Sligo the same lovely stand but you cant see it on tv. Its all about image and perception.
Believe Derry are looking into it.......

What the hell are you on about?Quote:

Relax Peader. Squad numbers aren't necessary for that. Gamble would probably be No. 6 every time he started if there were no squad numbers. Traditionally numbers have been equated with a certain position and if a player claims that position for themselves then they claim that number as their own for the main part.Quote:

Nothing stopping them with the 1-11 system.Quote:

Remeber we cant touch our ground to improve it:rolleyes:Quote:

I didn't see much in it but they only showed it the once. Looked maybe more of a bookable offence but was studying at the same time so wasn't watching very closely.Quote:

Okay missed that :oQuote:

well if it wasnt malicious or anything as you said then he shouldn't have been booked?

Why are we used as an example in every negative thing? Get off our case people and wake up and realise that some clubs value the long term advantage of owning their own ground and developing it slowly without running into major debt or relying on local government to supply us with everything.
Since when does something have to be malicious to be a yellow?? I thought he came in late. As I said wasn't taking the most notice but while watching it thought it was a straight red and harsh because of thatQuote:

The longford coverage was interesting. Seems the colourless boez fans were allowed anywhere in the ground. Also when they scored they started chanting "Easy, easy":D
The best coverage of grounds are in dalier, tolka, belfield, flancare, richmond and drogheda simply because they face the main stand.
And we dont rely on local government to supply us "with everything":rolleyes: And I'm sure gortakeegan hasnt got a cent in grants over the years either.......
KOH
fair enough....they dont supply you with everything and we did get some grants but the point I was making is that everytime there is something negative to be said about football in Ireland, Monaghan United are held up as the bad example when almost everything we have achieved so far has been through slow and steady progress by some very dedicated people who are not expecting miracles but proudly own every blade of grass at CHP and have very little debts. Not many clubs can say that. Yet we are the whipping boys.Quote:
