Preview Mag in the Star Today

I've only glanced through it so far but definitely better than the PFAI version in the the Mirror last week.

Stars Magazine has very tabloid feel to it - loads of pictures, less text but good effort nonetheless.

Good front cover too :D

You do know that they're both from Dublin.

Far better than the Mirrors effort I reckon, I thought it was quality.

Well done there I was talking about the harps regalia :rolleyes:

There seem to be alot of mistakes scattered through it, a glaring one for Cork City is Website: None .... a site that has won national awards and has an email address just above it info@corkcityfc.ie

I did like all the Boss Watch bits and thought the From the Terraces bit for City was good but sadly the only club to have that. Reads like a tabloid alright but have to say it is getting better.

I sent Eoin Brannigan a From The Terraces piece and wasn't used :(

I picked up an extra three copies if anyone wants one.

spot on - CCFC don't have website ..............according to the star today

Well I thought it was good. Apart from the obvious 'Cork City have no website' bit it was informative and for supporters like me who have no knowledge whatsoever of the geography of Ireland, as I've only lived here for a year, it was spot on. Is that controversial? :o

Saying anything positive about anything is controversal in EL circles tbf ;)

No I completley agree, okay the website thing was an error but ffs it's only a fairly small one.

Here ya go !! ... just give it a bit to load if on dail-up

I see some chancer on e-bay is trying to sell the Daily Mirror Eircom League magazine - starting price of £2.99 or something from memory !

No mention of the fact that it was free with a newspaper. Gyppo....

Will be interesting to see if any idiot forks out for it..

I thought it wasn't as good as last year's effort from The Star, just generally seemed a bit bland, stating the obvious in most previews.

Is it possible to read those previews online? It's hard to get offline versions in my city ;)

Er, I have "that" site in my faves anyway! :D It's designed soooooo well, very informative. Carlsberg don't do websites.... ;)

Anyone know if this is going to be available again? Sounds like it's worth having ...

Seconded.

Just talking about Limerick, they gave the wrong ground, the wrong phone number, the wrong sponsor, the wrong crest... and managed to write the whole piece without naming any of the Limerick team (bar the two boys seemingly picked at random in the 'One to Watch' section.

Does anybody have a spare copy of the Mirror's effort cos I missed that one?
