Drogheda United V Shamrock Rovers - http://www.rte.ie/sport/soccer/2012/..._shamrock.html
(As a new neutral) I Think I would have preferred Shels/Sligo
Suppose Shams are champs after all
I prefer this one.
Looks like we're going to have to win FAI cup again this year, if we want the privilege of seeing the Bit-a-Red.:victory:Quote:

Well done RTE you've excelled yourself once again.:cyclops:
Welcome to foot.ie Mr. Sweeney :pQuote:

In fairness to him Dong he's one of the few journo's who tries. I didn't like his negativity today, and at other times he's been spiteful, but maybe some of ye can have a word in his ear and he'll settle down and be positive.Quote:

Never mind though, a newly promoted side and second place in the league meeting each other, is more glamourous than showing the double champions opening game in our league.
Apparantly.
I get why ye are on opening night, as champions, but you can't argue that Drogs Vs. Shams is more appealing than Shels Vs. us.Quote:

I'd like to see a preview show of the weeks action, especially this week at least ahead of the start of the season. Wishful thinking again I guess!
Not sure if its been posted already but Linfield and Derry in the setanta Cup will be live on Setanta.
The season is long. It was only the first 5 fixtures that were announced. I'm sure Sligo games will be covered.
Much ado about nothing really.
As a Sligo Rovers fan I'd much rather us not be on tv as there is no money to be gained but I'm sure we would certainly lose some on the gate.
I wouldn't mind some of our away games being covered though.
There is also absolutely no truth in the rumours that the board have refused to change kick off times
Wait a second……..why the bloody hell isn't Limerick vs SD Galway being televised on Friday March 23rd. A bloody disgrace….typical bias towards the big teams. I blame Shamrock Rovers…..wait no I blame MNS….wait wait I mean RTE……no I mean Roddy….feck it I mean Monaghan…...actually no I mean the FAI…..ya thats the one, the FAI, jokeshop up there in abbottstown :mad:
I blame Tom the Gom, we all know he choses the games.
Can't we just blame Derry? No reason really. Just for the craic.
So thats Shamrock Rovers and Derry being blamed. We'll never hear the end of it from the Sligo Rovers fans now, what about them?Quote:

That would coincide with my own understanding but you better tell Placid casual who "was privy to the initial discussions that were to take place regarding our clubs being put on the box".Quote:

We had 11 of our European games on live tv last year. How did you cope?Quote:

There was total lack of respect given to drogheda.
