thats an understatement,the intro music is like 10 years old...and terrible,highlights of the players when they were put up for an award were terrible.Quote:

I managed to catch it from the LOI player award. Yeah, i have to say it was fairly poor.
How long would RTE have been working on something like this?
It was awful, rushed interviews, repetition, just bad!
Is anyone tired of all these sketches? Apres Match were original at the time fair play, and maybe gift grub guy. But the rest are milking it. Do something else for ffs.Quote:

One thing I'd question, I don't follow the Eircom League that closely but I would have said that last season Manseram, Roy O Donovan and Zayed were the some of the best players, none of them nominated which was a little strange. Maybe Colin Healy too?
Absolutely rubbish show. How much more smug can Hamilton get? The FAI were also supposed to announce the new manager during the night but it is another thing they've cocked up
maybe zayed or o'donovan but definitely not manseram or healyQuote:

nice to see two cobh lads get awards,
didnt see much wrong with them, o halloran played superb against portugal and england in turners X stood out by a mile, and hes not bad by any means, tbh didnt see much talent at the X for both games, future looks bleak,
Ireland well deserved it, he is the most talented player to break through in a while, shame hes been pushed around by the CARETAKER manager, hope the new manger is able to fix the problems that that muppet givens is after causin,
This is the EL forum so don't really want to talk about this topic but just wondering about this...I blame Givens for a lot but how can you blame him for Stephen Ireland's problems? The only one to blame for Stephen Ireland's problems is himself.Quote:

Show was terrible. Comedian was'nt funny , and how on earth did Stephen Ireland get an award after all he put the FAI through in the past year?
About 2 mins given to the EL Player award - token gesture.
I switched over last night just to see what it was like, but it was just when that nob nation bloke was on. He was so cringing to watch that I turned over again and did't bother to watch the rest.
Am I the only one who seems to notice that Stephen Ireland may have some mental issues? People bullying him or telling him to "get over it" aren't going to help him, not because he's a talented footballer but because he's a human being. The way Don Givens has been behaving as caretaker has been disgraceful.Quote:

Sven seems to be doing a great job with him but the FAI are doing their best to fcuk him up!
Great to see Steve o'Halloran gettign the U-21 award, I was slightly supprised he got it. 2008 should be a big year for him. Hopefully he will become a regular first team player by years end.
I do think he must have mental issues yeah but if that's the case then why isn't he getting them sorted out? It's hardly up to the FAI to arrange that.Quote:

Manseram was a sub a lot of the time for Bohs and neither him nor Zayed made the player's team of the season. I thought Zayed was head and shoulders above all strikers last season bar O'Donovan.Quote:
