So your saying that if a team is in Div 1, you just forget about them and you want to promote Irish soccer:eek: Im confused, how does forgetting about the Div 1 solve anyones problem. Why not develop the skill level of the football in both leagues, but no, you think we should just forget about Div 1. If Pats were to be relegated you wouldnt be happy with this treatment.
Its the Eircom League of Ireland, which is 2 divisions not the Premier Division.
As for poor quality, were you watching the league champions playing tonight because Dundalk Shels was twice as good in quality last night. At least both us and Shels tryed to keep ball on ground.
Use call yourselves Eircom League fans?????
we had about350-400 fans. how many had ye?Quote:

You're saying we shouldn't show that as well?? :confused: :rolleyes:
Don't see the harm in showing the goals from the first division?
550-600.Quote:

No reason fans of the first division should be pandered to while we're trying to impress new fans and sponsors...Quote:

Well if you look at the highlights from the Shels Dundalk game, you will see the the quality of the highlights are excellent. Here have a lookQuote:

I don't expect anything radically different from what TV3 do. We'll still have piecemeal highlights with voiceovers, boring "analysis" from Barry & Collins, and Monday night highlights. Apparantly the game yesterday was neither promoted by them, nor well presented. The tried and failed formula:
5.25: Hello
5.30: Game start
7.30: Game end
7.31: Bye
They were packed up and ready to go, when we were leaving the ground anyway.
It's arguable that Collins analysis alone, will do more harm for the league's image than showing 1st Division games. Setanta are the best tv promoters of the league, not RTE.
Con Murphy's a fine presenter and they did advertise the game during their football coverage durng the week.Quote:

Good highlights from the shels mathc considering it was a 0-0 draw.Again last night was probably one of the most entertaining town matches I have ever seen.6 goals,none of them scrappy,2 sending offs as well as probably one of the best goals you will ever see in Hynes' goal for Fingal.
Most highlights shows dont show highlights from both divisions as most leagues have about 20 teams in it,so to show highlights from both it would mean 40 teams and 20 games.There is only 22 teams in the entire eircom league so there is no harm in just showing the pic of goals from some games..
Coverage yesterday was exactly the same insipid format as last season, except much shorter with no after-match analysis (presumably because of the rugby.) I saw Pat Quigley collaring the MOTM after the game, so I assume they're deferring the interviews and presentations till MNS.
They must be getting Morley on the cheap or something. Con Murphy isn't great on the TV, he's not nearly assertive enough but that might improve with time. Still preferable to some know-nothing blow-in like O'Herlihy or Collins.
Excellent production. Do you have highlights of the Shels V Youths game at the end of last season??Quote:

I think if they show the goals of the important games with definate promotion chances,e.g Shelbourne and Dundalk.(If there was any)

Send the camera crews to their grounds for Cup games and Promotion/Relegation play-offs, but that's it.

For christ sake this kind of thing happens in other leagues all the time. It's not the end of the world the way some of the arm-wringing negative junkies on this board are carrying on.
Grow Up FFS.
one of my pals that posts on our forum is actually working with mns and text me yesterday that we were very close to havin our match on mns.there seemed a huge crowd at the shels match . I dont see the harm in showing the best of the matches in the first division. That shels dundalk game was very intrallin and in acual fact there is a lot of first division players this season in particular who played in the top flight as well last season eg dave rogers jamie duffy rutherford iarlaith davoren daisy brennan
Id rather watch highlights of Shels v Dundalk than Harps v Ramblers, and its not because i cant stand Harps either. I think 'particular' first division games should be covered.
So did RTE have more than one camera at all grounds on Friday? Or is the quality going to be similar to eircom league weekly?
