Article in the Tribune today(can't see it online)about an episoide of Lawless Ireland which will centre on the trouble between Rovers and Bohs in 2008.

They have had a couple of documentaries recently covering issues like housing and stuff. They style and content is very tabloid and the 'research' seemed to be a bit flakey to say the least. Dont think this will have a good outcome, thats a given in fact.
What might be a good exercise though is, if they do 'colour up' some of the facts then complain them to the BCI and see if there is any outcome.
Thats said, whatever issue that is there on this topic, its always good to address it and highlight the crap that can go on. Like Bohs fans in Derry, and is the key still thrown away.
Shower of ****ers.
Of all the things they could have dug up about the LOI.
Have barely ever watched TV3 since EL Weekly was on it, this will make me even less likely to watch it in the future.
Seems pointless to criticise in advance of the show. If it is a fair reflection then no use denying this happens.
I completely agree with you but only going on their previous 'Prime Time'esque programmes. I'll hold my hands up straight away if i'm proved to be wrong about them. That said, their the ones that have had a few programmes that were tabloid-style. They have set the standard/expectation so i'm only going on what been given to us before.Quote:

In fairness TV3 is the television equivilent of The Sunday World so I wouldn't be too bothered by either media outlet as they have practically zero respect from most of the general population.
Perhaps. But if that is so why is the Sunday Tribune repeating its nonsense verbatim?Quote:

The Tribune regularly has more than a dozen pages of sport with zero (and I mean zero) content on domestic football. It is an anti-LOI rag.Quote:

Given TV3's EL track record, it will no doubt be aired in the middle of the night, most of the footage will have been lost and a streetlight failure will obscure most of the action.
I look forward to Trevor Welch's analysis...
In fairness, zero content isn't 100% accurate, they did a small story on how ****ed the league was last year and in 2007 they had a picture of the Galway United -v- Sunderland friendly accompanying an article about Sunderland.Quote:

Funny thing is that I find this incredible as well. Literally incredible. If Mr O'Donovan is a reporter then I assume he studied journalism and knows the meaning of the word. My on-line dictionary says it means: "too extraordinary and improbable to be believed".
He could not just have made this up, could he?
This is all we need. Some Danny Dire wannabe dragging up for Joe Public the worst element of our league. Potential to put off descent fans and attract the worst kind.
It will be interesting to see how the two clubs and the FAI respond to this. We''l get a good idea of where all three parties are with all of this these days.
Question: Have any Rovers or Bohs fans made the FAI aware of this? Or does anyone know if the FAI are aware of this issue at all, and have contacted TV3?
I'm sure the people making the documentary, during research process will have contacted both clubs for their opinions on itQuote:

I think the criticism of TV3 is not valid. Often when I see Sports Tonight it has LOI coverage & they show goals on Friday nights. The quality may not be great but they have small budget. Lets remember RTE had to be essentially paid/bribed 5m to produce MNS.
Lawless in Ireland starts tonight
The LOI episode isn't tonight though is it?
No, its on March 16th according to someone on the Bohs forum.
Showed a clip of the fracas on the Richmond Road from the last match at the start of tonight's show though.
Just flipped over to & just seem to be showing CCTV of kids. Hardly ground breaking :rolleyes:
Edit - looks like camera phone footage.
Taken off youtube no doubt like the rest of the ground breaking coverage the use in their programs.
Four days in advance of a Bohs-Shamrock derby, they're going to show what in all probability will be a sensationalist portrayal of football hooliganism. How irresponsible is that? Why don't they run Green Day afterwards to keep the kids interested?Quote:

Sorry. Green Street. My grasp of detail seems as strong as a TV3 investigative reporter's. The name should have stuck, it was so memorably laughable.Quote:
