There were reports. Was the sports section missing from your paper?
None in the one I got either
no sports section all the sports were 0n page 53 to 80 as I said its probably the country edition but it still doesnt excuse it. I actually got 2 weekend reviews with that gobsheen Bertie Ahern writing about his beloved Man U .Did you notice how red his face is from all the Bass since he cant afford make up anymore.
is the new sports editor at that rag i think he used to be a political journo but he only prints stories that might help get money into business friends of his back in belfast. Now thats dangerous journalism . simple lads dont buy it
Is this a Tabloid/Broadsheet edition difference maybe? They have reports on their website which should be in the print edition.
Tabloid but does it really matter waht edition they didnt have any el reports.
E/L on page 61 in tabloid edition in Wicklow.

in Sligo, both tabloid and broadsheet have EL reports ???
There are reports on the independent's website, so they definitely exist.
Could have been a printing error with the country edition?
I picked up a copy at the Texaco petrol station in Athenry at 10:45 am and I had one Tommy , but not a great write up the Shams game .:(Quote:

Thanks dodge thought I was hallicunating there after checking for the 10th Time.Very poor show by a national newspaper who can do 2 page spreads on the Crisi in the el.
Nice letter in the Indo today questioning Irish fans' supporting of UK teams. Wonder what the responses will be tomorrow?
Fair play to Derek Ross for actually getting that printed. Anyone know him, or if he posts on here?
Did anyone hear Tom Dunne talking about that today on Newstalk? He was getting people to text in the team they supported and why and there was the usual Liverpool, Manchester United etc... and I was just about to text in Limerick just to see their reactions but then he refered to the "nasty" letter in the Indo. He went on to mention he supported St. Pats but ManYoo were his "big team" :rolleyes:Quote:

The League is going in the right direction I think and it will be the journalists looking like idiots once the League continues to rapidly grow and they ignored it in the past.
Something Happens's (sic) Alan Byrne is a fairly big Pats fan. They even had an ad in Richmond a few years ago. Dunne isn't was dragged to a few games by Byrne. I'll never forget Byrne wearing a Pats jersey playing live on the late late...Quote:

Brand new, so not much to see here just yet, but I'd welcome any opinions or suggestions.
PS: promise it won't be Bohs-centric
You think? Did you just pick one at random? Some of them are very different you know! :DQuote:
