I hope ye all spotted the handsome chap purchasing a scarf in the Rovers club shop!
Jaysis the camera work at Tallaght was woeful. Doesnt seem like there are any camera areas ready.
Saddlier talking about Pats starting newbies against Galway jesus man let it go you'd swear they were the only team in the league with new signings playing in the first game of the season. tut tut
Oh Jesus.....bring back 60
Oh **** bring back 60 with Jackie Hurley
Spotted that!Quote:

Jesus I preferred 60! Are they not showing thunderstrike ?
Roddy doesnt half blow his own trumpet. He's really trying to get himself back on the merry-go-round
Yeah I miss 60.
I have to say, I like the " Kareoke King " thing.
But I have to say, I think Thunderstrike is just a poor substitute for The Crossbar Challange.
everyone always has something to complain about!! :D
e mail the show and tell them you want sixy60 back, posting it here just makes ya look like a moaning old git!!:)
Are they selling Youths stuff in it Mr Passing?Quote:

I think it was good tonight, Roddy tried to steal the show again.
I was surprised they didn't start with the Rovers game. They even put Galway and Dundalk on before it:confused:
Possibly they could have a live phone-in for the fanscope section (just an idea though).
The highlight was Alan Cawley on the Karaoke King. Never mind how bad the singing was, that hairstyle was well naff!
When we were down there for the match against Mervue, the pitch was all pushed towards the new stand side, and the dugouts were on the old stand side.Quote:

Sadly no. Umbro and Rovers merchandise only. I was temporarily lending my support to my friendly neighbourhood club :DQuote:

its called pitch management -because there are so many games played there the pitch is in a different position during the winter months and is moved back for the league of ireland season with dug outs on other side of pitch gives new goal areas,lineman runs etcQuote:

We might as well be reading match reports in the paper.

slow? yes quite possibly.Quote:

MSN and RTÉ don't owe some duty to you or your club meaning they have to get a fascinating quote from Paul Cook illuminating to the general public that 'at the end of the day it was a game of two halves and he's delighted with the effort put in but its time to cut out the silly mistakes and I dont mean to criticise the referee, but at the end of the day...'
Quite clearly the story wasn't about Sligo that day, either on or off the pitch. I don't think MNS will be destraught at your email whining about not getting a soundbite from a player/manager in one of the 30 odd episodes this season.
:D what a rant!!!Quote:

Because the entire piece was clearly about the opening of a new stadium which off the pitch had nothing to do with Sligo. On the pitch, Sligo were hardly in the game. The viewing public wouldn't have really given a toss about what Sligo officials had to say about an ocassion not really about them, and so they quite rightly spent extra time showing the new stadium and the people affected by it.
But instead you email in a complaint because you didn't get to hear Cook say the stadium was lovely and best of luck to Shamrock Rovers.
Well in fairness, if it was the other way round and it was Shamrock who were the off form side on the night, i would like to know what Mr. O Neill had to say about it:confused:Quote:

I worry about some people on here, Jicked come on like! 1 game, 2 teams. Whatever about all the pre-match stuff showing Shams but not to have an interview with someone from Rovers was a joke.
The only joke is the massive chip on Sligo fans shoulders. Everything from your refusal to even refer to them as "Shamrock Rovers" to some fans on here wanting the hoops to lose their gaa case, seemingly because they both share the term 'rovers' is cringeworthy.
The game wasn't about Sligo in the end, it wasn't an ordinary league meeting between the two in the great scheme of things, and even more unordinary if you're the producers of a TV show trying to look for the odd "angle" to make your show look fresh. If you want Cook's opinion check your website.
If at the end of the season Shamrock Rovers are playing the champions elect in a dead rubber of a game, and afterwards MNS decide to focus on the presentation of a trophy, celebrations of the champions or a recap of their season I can't see any Rovers suffering from such an inferiority complex that they complain about not hearing their manager's comments on how delighted he is for team x to have won the league.
How DARE we not call them Rovers. The bare faced cheek of us to call our own team "Rovers" and point blank REFUSE to call another team by the same name.Quote:
