I'm just taking the opportunity to add hidemyass to the fourth post in a row on the forum.
Lads what's the story with hidemyass, I've been hearing a lot about it recently...
Think it might be something to do with the Ass Manager mentioned in another thread.
so guess i cant see any loi action then, damn!
@bennocelt Sent you a friend request. Accept it and I'll PM you
Done :DQuote:

One positive, if they keep it up, was the man Tony O'Donoghue being at a number of the games to get match day footage. More of that would be good.
That was only ever bluffing anyway. They'd ave 2 panelists who may/may not have been at 2 games total and then they'd analyse a game based on 3 minutes highlights.Quote:

It really is going to be a Jack of all Trades show. They'll be hoping to get viewers interested in CL/PL watching the show.
On a side note, do Limerick and Athlone not have Sponsors yet?
Ours pulled out last minute think we have another lined up now.Quote:

The Robbie Fowler segment today was bizarre but I suppose it's what "the fans" want. I suppose we can only hope LOI can benefit by the proximity to the football the public actually cares about.
That show is diabolical. Only around 15mins allocated to the loi and the rest I spent fast forwarding past champions league goals, analysis of a man united game 2 weeks ago, Robbie fowler talking about Liverpool and then the panel talking about their title chances, and that 6 questions thing is ridiculous. Id prefer 60 seconds with Jackie and Thunderstrike anyday. Bring back MNS!!
I learned my lesson. That is the last time, I watch the whole show live.Quote:

The Analysis on the Derry City - Cork City game was actually quite impressive. If they could replicate that for the other games they would be onto a winner.
I think the problem with that is there's only 1 game (the live match) with enough cameras at it for that type of analysis.
If you tried that with a single camera view of everything it could look a bit shabby.
Having said that, there won't be a live game every week so I dunno what they'll do then.
Trying to be all things to all people. Would be surprised to see it last past this season.
Pure rubbish of a show. Why show CL goals from last week & analysis a Man U game from 3 weeks ago. No talk back about the LOI goals only talk about a game that was shown live.
It will be interesting to see the viewing figures for this show as I'm sure they will drop as the weeks go on.
Spot on. That's the crux of it.Quote:

Shame really as if viewership figures drop, the you'd fear it might get the chop and take LOI coverage with it.
Another great shout, Sheridan.Quote:

Thankfully I don't watch this show live.
I just zip through it a few days later to get the League of Ireland stuff.
This show is only useful to a casual viewer with a general interest in Soccer & who may have been on Mars for the week preceding it & missed any Soccer they might be interested in.
I don't know why you'd presume this. Clubs can put highlights on their websites/media channels now and don't. I'd guess maybe half the top divison wouldQuote:

Unless you're a Galway FC fan - manager has banned any game footage from being uploaded by club on to YouTube. Go figureQuote:

That is absolutely hilarious.Quote:

It's a bit odd that RTE are showing Pats v Limerick next weekend, because you'd expect a routine enough win for Pats there.. although you never know.
I'd have thought one of the Rovers/Bohs or Sligo/Dundalk games would be on.
I don't think RTE have shown Rovers/Bohs at Dalymount for a couple of years now.Quote:

Their shambolic replies to anyone who points out how poor it is on their Twitter page is even more desperate. Wholly unprofessional behaviour. I'd love to know who is behind their twitter page.
As stated in this article;
http://www.rte.ie/presspack/2014/02/...ch-on-rte-two/
"Soccer Republic, the new Irish soccer show"
and,
"Soccer Republic will be the place to see all the SSE Airtricity League Premier Division goals every week with the best analysis using the latest technology, on all the major talking points in the League."
I've yet to see any sort of 'best analysis using the latest technology', aside from about twenty seconds on one match.
I kept a close eye on MNS the past few years. I've absolutely zero interest in this feeble attempt at a football show.
I like Jimmy McGees piece on all time loi teams and I think the analysis on the main game is superb. But for the rest of it it is shockin.. I found it hard watchin the rest of the non loi segments and like others will skip through the rest.
I think it was a case of them feeling like they had to show Pats as champions. Cork wouldn't budge for 1st game, UCD aren't going to be shown, so Limerick was next available gameQuote:

That's almost certainly true, and I guess when they were scheduling no-one would have suspected that Limerick would look quite this toothless. They may confound that of course.Quote:

Just got around to watching it now. If they are going to add in the champions league and English football that's fine but Jesus the structure is awful. Derry vs Cork, followed by Liverpools chances at the premiership, followed by champions league and then back to LOI. All over the place.
Goal cam is actually pretty good. You could nearly stick a go pro on each goal for all games and clubs could have something similar for their own highlights if they where to do it.
