Here's a page on Goal that they frequently update with irish football on irish TV...
TV matches (not including streaming sites) are updated here: Full Fixtures
The page number will be different next season, but it will still be accessed through http://www.braywanderers.com/fixtures.php
Didn't see the next live match mentioned in any of the links above. Many outside of the LoI community browse this forum. No harm having a thread to let people know when the next live game is on. Missed the game on EirSport last Saturday. Hadn't come across any mention of it.
Friday 14/Oct/2016:
Shamrock Rovers v Dundalk, RTÉ 2. Kick-off 19:45.
Are RTÉ scheduled to show a game next Friday night ? Nothing on Soccer Republic site yet
Irish Times yesterday has RTÉ showing Cork and Pats
Dundalk vs. Bohemians on RTÉ2 on Sunday. Coverage from 6.30pm.
Despite what some listings say, Cork v Pat's tomorrow is NOT live on RTE2. Pat's have just tweeted confirmation of this
Maybe not a match for the purists but Wexford v Harps tonight is massive for both sides.
A wexford win and its only 3 points in it.
Harps win and they're safe.
Big Harps travelling support going down.
With all due respects to other teams, live games should be for the league's finest silver.
Maybe RTE will go all out next year and show a league game from somewhere other than Oriel, Tallaght or Turners Cross
I'd prefer to watch a game with plenty at stake in front of a passionate crowd over a nothing match involving one of the leagues finest silver as you put it.
The first division play offs would be worth putting on too if there's no other big game in the premier those weekends.
Maybe this is why RTE hardly show anything before September. They only want to show a game if there's a trophy given out at the end.
RTÉ not showing many games before September shouldn't be affecting clubs attendances. People are always more likely to go to a game when there is something on the line be it on tv or not.
Personally I don't mind so-called dead rubbers. They are still games to be won.
If the LOI ever broke away from the FAI and had scope to negotiate their own TV deals, I was thinking on a fair deal (to start off with)
What about a flat 5k fee and go one extra by giving something to the away side, a nominal 2k, so 7k per match, its really not a huge amount, but of course it will never happen.
Still its an area that could be easily marketed, get the right sponsors onboard, and make it a consistent event, not having months or even weeks apart with no game live on tv.
Eir Sport showing Dundalk Vs Rovers on the first day
And they've just annnounced a new weekly podcast. Unreal
Must be the first time in well over a decade that RTE are not screening a game live on the opening day. Not a good sign that
While Eir may not have the same nationwide coverage as RTÉ. When it comes to actual coverage of the League, they leave them dead. Loving the Podcast. Now if only they'd also do a highlights show, which is on at a reasonable time and contains, you know, highlights!
Delighted. Eir coverage so much better.
Great news that Eir are continuing to take a big interest in the league. RTE are still contractually bound to show 17 signals for the next 2 years (i think) too.
When is the podcast starting does anyone know? I need it to get me through the long nights at work!
