According to Con, some interesting emails and calls to deal with

first time seeing it this season and its shockingly badly put together. waste of time with the inroducing of the panel. total waste of time with all the panel discussions which go on and on for ages. The Dundalk Cork footage was woeful. Too long, showing rubbish after rubbish. If the quality isnt there in the game, dont show it. The panel discussion after the dundalk cork game was all about cork and dundalk but not on the match. :rolleyes:
In putting music to the footage there simply saying that the games are ****e why put in music? Sligo Bohs was much better footage. Now loads of pat and rico complimenting each other with stupid jokes...add break
bray derry was the right length but again more talk after each game how bout doing a cluster of games before getting into discussion?
galway rovers.....ive seen the footage on youtube in the last few days and one thing that helps is atmosphere. but because of the music and the voiceover we can barely here it. youtube footage was far better.
thunder strike...dont come to my club please.........add break
adds are interesting
pats drogs//// drogs fans looking good, again, again, again and finally again. Jeff Kenna crap tie...
fans e mails and photos are good.
in contrast to this tripe, RTE through their free promotion of the GAA in the off season produce excellent, reminders of your identity with underdogs,(in ur nations tongue) celibrity bannisteor...concept: anyone can get involved, friday nights promo programme about the GAA, all wetting your apitite for the comming big games via the sunday game.
Well, I think Doolin's methods will prove more effective than Mathews'. And it's not like Mathews' teams play attractive football anyway.Quote:

I thought it was good and all panelists this week offered alot to the discussion. Great programme, i know they dont always get it right but i thought it was great this week.Quote:

Longford were actually not a bad football team when he was in charge of them, i would consider what i seen of Cork this year and playing more direct than last year i thought Mathews tried to play football and from i hear Drogs actually are playing the ball on the ground this year and have been unlucky. So like i said not sure how you came to that conclusion.Quote:

I've never bought into the myth that Matthews' teams play rubbish football either. Always play mostly a short passing team when I've seen any of his teams play.Quote:

"Extrapolating the parameters".I thought I was back in a stats class......
I have to say I really enjoyed it - Great mix of footage, analysis and a bit of fun.
Yeah, something funny sticking out in the front of it I thought.Quote:

His analysis was p*ss poor and he, at times, contradicted himself. Can't see them keeping this on next year, Con's 'announcement' of the stuff on the website sounded to me like a desperate plea for people to log on to it so they can record decent site traffic to justify the whole thing
I thought it was one of the better episodes. Rico was in fine form :cool:
Dead right there Rovers Maniac. The football Mathews team is serving up this year is a pleasure to watch compared to last seasons dross under Doolin. It looked to me like Cork played some decent stuff under Mathews last season as wellQuote:

Yeah encouraging players to dive and all thatQuote:

Cork are up to third with a team of defenders. I went to watch the rovers game up here and as far as attackers are concerned, they don't have any. Cork's attacking 4 would struggle to hold then a place in any of the other teams in the top 5.
Doolin's tactics were effective in Europe with Drogheda and after a poor start with Cork, results are improving.
He also misplaced a number of our lads aswell:Quote:

Terrific save from Murphy (Ryan) too.
Derek O'Brien (Edwards) linked with Jay O'Shea.
Looks bad if noticed on TV
Well said. Doolin's job is to put points on the board and he's starting to do it.Quote:

True. You could argue Derry play the best football in the league but it's Bohs who are top because they realise when they have to change the system.
However, you cannot win a league without a bit of flair which was evidently lacking especially in our first three matches of this season. We didn't offer anything up front, and got punished.
A balance of both is what's needed, but neither Doolin or Mathews have the balance.
Not sure about that, what flair had Drogs up front when they won the league?
Fabio at the start, Bates at the end. Zayed did well in between.
Not sure I'd rate them any higher than Faz/O'Neill/Siligailis. Well, time will tell anyway.
Does the website still have the extended interviews with players and managers etc. as opposed to the cut down versions that appear on the MNS programme.
Con Murphy mentions them every week, but I can't find them. :confused:
i've sent them an email asking where the extendeds are now & asking that they be linked easily on each game-review pageQuote:
