Ads showing a few goals with details of upcoming fixtures and a Brian Kerr voiceover were being shown on Setanta tonight. Hats off, a fine effort. Pity the FAI wasn't doing a similar tv campaign.

Reasonable price too I believe...
If you happen to be being bankrolled by a multi-millionaire...
Is that the Brian Kerr of Sky Sports News fame?Quote:

They have for the SPL, Dutch, French, German & the English non-league. All excellent shows. I'd imagine if they did they'd do it.

I see the eircome league are doing the 'Get into it Banner' on the Independent.ie website. Its basic but its a first and a step in the right direction.
Yeah being millions in debt to property developers is the future.Quote:

Yep, sure we'll just find 22 of them...or maybe 66 (three for each club)...and then of course there's the A League...
The eL managed without millionaires. It'll manage without them (except those clubs stuck with huge contracts). They're not the sole future.
They're not the worst problem we face either. What do you want him to spend his money on? Wages?Quote:

Just for us poor country bumkin cousins without a millionaire, I don't think TV ads constitute a "Reasonable price".
Compared to the price it would be for another company to advertise in that time slot it was reasonable, it was on between a CL game 2 weeks ago. Usually prime time advertising for men with money aged between 18 and 39 as noone else counts :DQuote:

.......and very obvious that he is not as au fait with his own clubs' workings based on that comment as he's like us to think he has :DQuote:

Our own club's workings?Quote:

You are always quick to have a go at how other clubs operate and in this instance, the ads that St Pats are running on Setanta.Quote:

You don't know how much the campaign cost to put together or cost yet felt the need to comment so.
On the other hand I guess and it's a very good guess that you are unaware of your own clubs' proposed media spend[/SIZE]
He is always quick to have a go as he is safe, he knows as long as the school runs his club for him and they dont get relegated he can judge other clubs as long as he wants.Quote:
