I did this with last week's show and while it all looks like it downloaded perfectly it refuses to play. Did you check that it'd play when the download completed?Quote:

The sixty 60 thing in cringe worthy & needs to be dumped. Team line outs before highlights would be an improvement too.
Seems they may be using a combination of RTE cameras & club/fan cameras for alternative view?
brennan headbutted Jamie Harris. He had to go. Rest of it was just hand bags. Interesting that mckeon had songled out keepers before hand. seems like his mind was made up before the game to sent Ryan off.Quote:

Enjoyed the show. Actually like the "lighter" bits and think they work well as the show heads to a break.
You know what would be brilliant for MSN - a big mid season special with a studio audience made up of fans, managers and players. Have all the best goals from the games so far and maybe a feature on LOI players who played for the national side. The panel would be awesome if it included the likes of Paul McGrath, Trapatoni and Laro. If promoted well by RTE the ratings would be phenomenal and it would place the LOI well in the Irish soccer fold for the great unwashed. Especially if it was done in a Top Gear format with a good-natured bit of banter and slagging.
One episode of MSN done like that, would push the league into a new level. Especially if the likes of Trap and Laro were talking about how amazing such and such a goal or save was. It would end the "LOI is fookin shoite" carry on in one swoop.
We should get writing to the FAI and RTE about it.
It was the one part my girlfriend looked up from her magazine and watched. If it's a way of getting people in any way interested then it's worth it.Quote:

Overall it's an impressive show, beats the hell out of Eircom League Weakly anyway. ;)
Some of the footage definitely looked dodgy this week, I'd be concerned if this was to become a trend. Maybe it's more to do with the standard of lighting in the grounds, as I think was suggested earlier, if it is something needs to be done.
its to humanise the league. Every other league in the world is sold on the back of the players. Its about time ours was too.Quote:

It's light and it's honestly the first time I've heard Ronan Finn or Ryan Guy speak, it helps with the profile and as Dodge says selling the league on its players is a good thing.
No need to take it all so seriously, I think the laid back feel of the show is great and for successive weeks I give it a massive thumbs up.
Now BohsPartisan, that's an idea for a calender
Stephen Rice bit was quite funny.......wonder if they could find a player who dislikes sean connor every week
The MNS section of the RTE website is looking pretty interesting too. Con Murphy's behind the scenes column is good reading, he explains his error when he though they were going to an ad break, but it was actually the Bray highlights, blames the editors Birmingham accent!
That's a pretty cool stuff. As has been noted several times before one of the coolest things about MNS is the obvious enthusiasm and commitment about what they're doing. Minor blips aside that makes all the difference, you get the feeling that the people involved are knowledgeable fans of the league and genuinely believe that it's important and worthwhile, a feeling never quite created by TV3. That said- TV3 provided coverage when no one else did, so fair play to them as well.
Ive got to say well done to RTE's website. Their Eircom League focus on their website is excellent reading as are the columns from MNS presenters. You can tell their enthusiasm for the League. Do they give any mentions to the First Division as opposed to the quick readouts of results and tables as on EL Weekly?
That's a good idea alright - definitely gets it across that he actually has some interest in what he's presenting. The music playing during the highlights really annoys me though - think I'll fire off an email about that (I'm probably not the only one I'd say)Quote:

I can't understand why players get involved in retaliation and "sticking up for a teammate" and then try to defend their actions. When something like that happens, let the ref deal with it and punish the other team. For a perfect example look at the Leinster rugby match recently in Leicester - Julian White starts swinging at Malcolm O'Kelly and gets yellow carded (should have been red) - end result is Leicester are down a man for 10 minutes. If O'Kelly defends himself and swings back, then they're both in the bin....
Since when is running 40 yards to confront someone a sending off offence in and of itself? I'll give a shiny shilling to anyone who can unearth that in the rulebook. It's what you do once you get there that counts. I don't know whether Ryan's subsequent actions warranted an expulsion, but the fact is that the ref had prescribed a punishment which has no basis in the laws of the game before the match even started. Unbelievable.
The fact is you are inciting confrontation and trouble by running that distance. Completely unnecessary. His own manager said it warrented a punishment...Quote:

Number 1 surely covers running 40 yards to confront someone?Quote:

furthermoreQuote:
A player is cautioned and shown the yellow card if he commits any of
the following seven offences:
1. is guilty of unsporting behaviour
2. shows dissent by word or action
3. persistently infringes the Laws of the Game
4. delays the restart of play
5. fails to respect the required distance when play is restarted with a corner kick, free kick or throw-in
6. enters or re-enters the field of play without the referee’s permission
7. deliberately leaves the field of play without the referee’s permission
andQuote:
The referee has the authority to take disciplinary sanctions, as from the moment he enters the field of play until he leaves the field of play after the final whistle.
Take your pick and PM me for the address to send the shiny shilling to :DQuote:
Any player, whether he is within or outside the field of play, whose conduct is ungentlemanly or violent, whether or not it is directed towards an opponent, a colleague, the referee, a linesman or other person, or who uses foul or abusive language, is guilty of an offense, and shall be dealt with according to the nature of the offense committed.
i think that the show is excellent and just goes to prove that you can never please el fans. damned if you do, damned if you dont.
what SHOCKED :eek: me from reading this thread is the negativity towards united park. i was born bread and buttered over the road from stadium and looking out me window now it saddens me that someday (maybe) it'll be gone. it is a fabulous stadium to play and support in. the atmosphere with a good crowd is great and most players love it.
anyway. i'm a teacher and the kids are well impressed that they can now see the drogs every week on the tele. that is the most positive part i think. a watchable show that kids will be up for and has something for everyone. they enjoyed the 60 ave said they cant wait til its Fabio on it. this has to be positive.
i dont care its a rip off of motd2. i prefer that to sat motd which is crap.
well done to con and rte.
why so negative lads. constructive criticism is fine but i've read this thread from start to finish in one go and people were waiting for it to fail before the fist show went on air. thats pathetic
http://www.bohemians.ie/images/stori...leeparttwo.jpg
Think that tells the full story of Ryan's part in the incident - reports are that he managed to get Brennan in a headlock
I liked the own goal footage. Even after the 4th replay could not figure out what the Harps player trying to do. I Looked for a left back maybe he trying to pass to but if he was there must have been on the touch line.
Pity the large crowd at the Brandywell did not show well on TV. Crowd is so far from the pitch & tv camera on stand side.
On the contrary, when George O'Callaghan celebrated his goal in front of us on Friday he got booked...Quote:

This is by far the best post in this thread imo. The level of negativity toward MNS is difficult to understand. We now have unprecedented coverage of the premier division during a prime time slot. It is going to take time for the show to be 'perfected'. Some people are never happy...for once, well done Delaney and (to a lesser extent!) RTÉ.Quote:

The club should erect scaffolding for a gantry in the other side at the back of the terracing. But I'm sure they'll blame the council for not being allowed to do it or they'll be too stingy with the cash.Quote:

Terry's a legend ! A Clooney Rovers one!! ;)Quote:
