Just been told that the preview mag (all 64 pages) is in the Star today.
Won't get to see it myself till tomorrow, so, have you got it? & is it any good? better than previous years?
Also, someone said that the Sun have their's on Thursday, but when is the Mirror's one out? (it was the PFAI one - also a good read)
:ball:
Just had a quick flick through it. It's not too bad, glossy and bright, looks good,something similar to last year. Club profiles are a bit lazy.
Havent had a chance to read it properly myself yet but it looks good. Nice piece on the new football show on RTE and they have a lot of positive things to say about us so I am happy!
Agreed.Quote:

Also shocked to discover Queenstown are doing up Colmans by nicking Kildare Countys stand :eek:
And David Blunkett on the front cover, wtf?
Any good is it?
Its worth a look, there's a good feature about the new program planned for Monday nights "Monday Night Soccer" saying that RTE hope it to be more Soccer AM than The Premiership....am actually looking forward to it
It's impressive alright. A good read, and I think I saw Magicme in there too, if I'm not mistaken!
Very good indeed. The Sun has there one out on Thursday. Any news on The Mirrors pull out? That's not a bad one either.
Its a good read. The bit about team mates is very good although clive delaney is doing it for bray.
I agree about the team profiles. There are very short and not much too them but its grand and of course they got our crest wrong once again. :eek:
we took it with us after last game up there:DQuote:

Thought the interview with Peers was good, he takes the **** out of Foy in it the whole time:D
Graham Cummins got an awful doing from Alan Carey:D

Top marks to the Star and FAI for the class product today. I am really looking forward to MNS now that it seems to closer to a Top Gear type format which will only be a good thing in terms of league image.
I think the future of LOI soccer has never been brighter and I am amazed as the habitual negativity on this board sometimes. Honestly, if some LOI club won the Champions League this board would be full of whingers complaining about the colour of the fireworks celebration.
There was an ad for the LOI during the HT break in Champions League on Sky Sports tonight:eek:
A friend said he saw an ad for 'Monday Night Soccer' on RTE during HT in Man U game on RTE too.
He did'nt!Quote:

- Half page for Div one and full pages for PremierQuote:

Some people are so hard to please.
People create threads because there is not enough coverage on the league then give out at the smallest things when they get a 64 page free mag
I wasnt impressed with each teams previews,no ins and outs like other yrs.If it wasnt for this forum keeping us up to date with close season transfers it would be hard to get them all.Only half a page on the 1st divisions teams,although the Indo today just done the Premier League and didnt bother with the 1st division at all!
agree. the team features were pants. everyone's too good to go downQuote:

Harps won one out of their first eight games and were second last in the league at the end of last April - pace-setters?
Lack of basic Journalistic investigation is often a feature of Eircom league articles and highlights for me Some papers lack of interest in our wonderful league:mad:
Comprehensive coverage of our opening game with Shels on the new club website launched today..
