A good effort by TV3 with Eircom League Weekly tonight- a one hour show, coverage of all games in the Prem from the weekend, along with the key Harps game, and good as well to see coverage of the U21 final. Some good banter between Rico and King to tie it all together with a touch of humour. A good effort.
Yeah ... fair play .... if the programme asked more player/fan opinions and had a goal of the month comp. And maybe even stick in some papers/columns in there aswell, it would be great ... it needs to be an hour long, the first is starved of coverage and it really needs it.
Compared to last year it was rubbish! Fair play to Shelbourne et all involved but for gods the hour was totally dedicated to them, King goes on bout other teams etc and his team of the season is practically Shels and Bohs, and the bohs players are all officially shels players now!
True, it should be an hour long every week, not just the last week of the season, when you consider some of the crap tv3 has on, Im sure a good Eircom weekly programme will be more popular even among non EL fans.
what was his team of the seasonQuote:

S Williams,

twas something along those lines, sorry dont remember the exact team but was just raged when i saw it like!
To be fair, the team that Shels have now since their latest signings genuinely does have the league's best players in a decent number of positions ! You can't blame King for being a realist !
Caffrey of Bohs won goal of the month for his volley.
I think Alan Moore was the other midfielder and Dave Rogers was in the back 4 as a full back, even though he doesn't play there :confused:Quote:

Caffrey's goal against Pats was goal of the season
Only remember that King had nine current Shels players and Rico had seven! :eek:
To be honest, I turned the sound off when they started having their chat. If I want to watch a chat show, I can watch the Late Late or Parkinson or something. I just want to see the football. The quarter-hour they spent yapping could have been spent on Longford-Drogheda (they usually get the Monday games in in time), UCD-Kilkenny or longer highlights from the other games.
Did anyone else find it really annoying that yer man on the Cork-Bohs game was commentating about five seconds ahead of the action? Okay, I know what's going to happen, but still...!
Stephen Caffrey got goal of the season. It was a cracker and well deserved. Can't understand why Dillo or Prunty didn't get on the Team of The Year.... probably because they play for Longford. :(Quote:

I thought it was a really good effort by TV3. The hour flew by to be honest and there was a real case for making it an hour once a week. Maybe a few emails to TV3 might work.
The banter was good and there was lots of humour and a few good points discussed like progress in Europe, more professional E.L et cetra.
I was going to agree about Shels almost having the best XI in the league !!
Rico and King were on song last night - good banter
I'm beginning to warm to this pair! sh;t football managers but great football bantermen!
nothing involving noel king is good, or even acceptable. the man is utterly repugnant. he has no idea what he's talking about, and all he does is go one about dublin this, dublin that, i'm great blh blah blah. horrid little man. rico on the other hand, knows his stuff and can be entertaining at times.
Show was let down again by Kings Shel$ bias.
We all know shel$ worthy champions but King wouldn't even acknowledge Ricos point that there was a chance they could have finished 2nd & would have been screwed with expense of new signings. :rolleyes:
Dare i say it but Roddy was better than King as at least he knows something.
Kinger:
Williams
Heary, Harris, Grey, Rogers
Doyle, Byrne, Moore, Hoolahan
Crowe, Byrne
Rico:
Devine
Heary, Ferguson, Rogers or Harris? Frost
???, Byrne, Ryan
Doyle, Crowe, Byrne
King puts Doyler on right wing where he not a fraction of the player he is when playing in attack.
I thought the show was very entertaining last night and even though Noel King is a muppet who has a chip on his shoulder about Cork City I thought that the banter between him and Rico was excellent.
It's just a pity Trev wasn't presenting it as he'd have given a Cork dimension to the show.
agreed about the King comments. TV3 could do with trying to make the show a little more professional next season and look for a better pundit. ;)
How about Roddy Collins , a true professional & an honest pundit :DQuote:

Thought it was rubbish. Wasnt even an hour and they could have cut out the senseless slagging of each other on it. I dont watch it for that. Can get that anywhere!
At the Waterford V Derry game there was a missed peno by a keeper and a sending off and all they show is the goal?! They spent more time interviewing roddy than showing our game!
The whole thing needs to be turned around. It should be at 10pm for an hour with different guests and show ALL the premier games EVERY week for at least a couple of minutes each not a few seconds. How about a Goal of the Month? Where is the fans view that was on last year?
Also it should be repeated at a normal hour not at 5.50am. Emailed them re these suggestions and the mail bounced back :D
