just saw that. The lads in the piece having to go to england to work all had GAA backgrounds. maybe they could follow a LOI lad as he seeks a bit of work in the off season?
How many times do you think it'll get called the Eircom League over the course of the programme?
I'm going to go for more than 10.
Them two wont even be able to name half the irish teams. .none of the non-sport radio and tv presenters care about the league of ireland
Any publicity and all that....
It's gonnna be greeeaaat!:D
Raging. Why didnt the ring me?
I wonder who within the FAI is going to get seduced, sorry interviewed. I'd gladly give a fans view.
I've a feeling you might well be the replacement for Mr Hunter on Joe Duffy's Liveline :DQuote:

Would you ever let it go McWilliams......:DQuote:

Do people think the FAI and a lot of the clubs deserve anything other than negative press after this season? :confused:
Eircom ? that might be stretching their researchers a bit Peadar, when Primetime did that slaughter job on Shels a few yrs back, Mirriam continously referred to the the lge as 'the irish league'Quote:

Running a foreign games offshoot would seem fairly serious alright...
How could I be a replacement for myself. Dammit I have been rumbled. :DQuote:

The charm offensive works. :D
On the basis that they didn't get positive press when things were going well then I'd say a request for balanced journalism is fair enough.Quote:

The more publicity it gets then MAYBE the sooner all the problems will be sorted
When did clubs and how they were run ever warrant positive press?Quote:

He'll sort it out sharpish....lol
What it needs is for the clubs to manage themselves properly and stop sailing so close to the wind all the time. Build for the long term not the short term.
pat only appears where there is money so hence he aint around the LOI anymore. Last seen chasing boxing promotion money for andy lee and Bernard Dunne fightsQuote:

Change? sorry, i'm getting ahead of myself, we can expect Daft Dave to make an appearance i'd say :rolleyes:

I'm not sure. This time could be the exception that proves the rule.Quote:

It works for funerals.
So what are the odds that TNB will be on there? He talked to the Sunday Times so he might get another spin out tonight.
You imagine someone like Daire Whelan will be interviewed, maybe Stephen McGuinness or a footballer with a mortgage who has been screwed over by a club.
People go on about RTE doing a hatchet job on the League of Ireland but enough of our own clubs are doing a good job of that.
Guy in work goes sure Derry were caught surely all the other clubs were/are doing the same, thats the mindset you are dealing with.
He was interviewed at the Cross last week along with John Caulfield.Quote:
