TV3 are doing their bit to promote the League Of Ireland. :mad:
Tonights "Lawless Ireland" features hooliganism at League Of Ireland. The producer was just interviewed on the Tom Dunne show on Newstalk (what a great sponsor :confused:). He recalled one sinsiter incident at a Boms/Shams game where a man was attachked with an umbrella!

Well its if anything like their previous episodes it will be made up mostly of grainy youtube footage & an idiotic narrator who tries to sensationalise every scene by showing footage in slow motion.
Its been poorly made & produced. No attempt at an in depth analysis of any topic. With shows like this, its no wonder TV3 don't do very much home made productions.
Looking forward to their episode involving thick GAA playing scumbags knocking the sh** out of each other off the ball, before getting 'ticked' by Father Ó'Mhallamhgaú for conduct unbecoming of a son of Erin.
At least it's something to watch after MNS tonight. :)
Could watch Scrubs either. Tough choice.
Jayzus - some people have major chips on their shoulders! Just because a poor quality tabloid TV station makes a poor quality tabloid television programme about soccer hooligans it's all the GAA's fault. Good man and sure Croker's a kip aswell.Quote:

Does any body watch TV3 anyway?
Just imagine the uproar if someone made a similarly overblown tabloid programme about the far more real, widespread and dangerous problem of violence at GAA games. TV3 wouldn't dare to take them on. If you want to talk about Lawless Ireland its ridiculous to focus on the tiny number of football "hooligans" when you consider the violence on show at GAA matches.Quote:

Cue indignation from those in Jones' Road at the temerity of these journalists.......
Hmm, theres a new show on FX too.
Tough choice, badly produced TV3 show or a CBS produced show.
What will i choose...
Has to be Scrubs, it's a new episode tonightQuote:

You lads are WAYYYYYY over reacting to this programme.
I mean, it is TV3 FFS! will be watched by a few thousands skangers and knackers at most who will have forgotton how shocked they were by midnight. It is aimed at the people and retarded journalists (99% of them) who are getting vaginal smears (even the males) because it took Jade Goody to make them realise that cancer is bad. This programme is made by morons for morons and will be aired and forgotton almost instantly.
Look at the promo...they do not even have enough footage of LOI thugs to fill and entire programme. That's how much of a problem it is...
Watch it and laugh.
Read a book?Quote:

It's a chant that dates back to the 1980s. It does seem a bit pointless to me too.Quote:
