That is bad, but is it only online or can it be seen in the broadcast text too?

In fairness I don't see the point of tables before this point of the season where teams have play 4/5/6 games. So can, sort of, understand why it may not have been updated properly.

The league in general seem to be getting better coverage, online at least, this year. And while the above example is bad, rte are no longer the only offenders. I've noticed some factual inaccuracies in other places too

Ones that stick out are bbc - reporting ton he setanta cup - had Pat's playing in Tallaght, and (Shamrock) Rovers playing in the Showgrounds. (think they had a similar thing last year too with loi venues)

A preview of the season had Derry retaining Stephen McLaughlin.

There's also been a few on extratime, but can't recall of the top of my head.

What are we to do about these? Quietly email the editors with our pedantry, or start a thread here calling them all out?

Its so weird they spell Pats' name in full, then call the Rovers teams "R" and "Rvrs" and don't even add the last letter for Bohs.

Well, Bohemian F.C. is the correct spelling.

It's pronounced No-nay. He's Cameroonian.

Good news for Pats. Shams didn't beat them in the league earlier on this season.....

Setanta Cup semi-final first legs
Shamrock Rovers v Cork City, Tallaght Stadium, 7.30pm
Up until last Friday night Shamrock Rovers only victories this season had come in the Setanta Sports Cup but they finally broke their duck in the Airtricity League with a 7-0 win over Bray Wanderers that will give them plenty of confidence going into the first leg of their semi-final against Cork City.
Both sides are former winners and both have beaten Irish League opposition to reach the last four.
Rovers accounted for Coleraine and Linfield while Cork City saw off Danske Bank Premiership winners Cliftonville and Crusaders.
David Elebert and Tommy Stewart both remain out of the Hoops squad through illness while Conor Winn has a thigh injury which has ruled him out of the tie.
Cork’s Darren Dennehy returns from suspension but Kevin Murray and Dan Murray are both definitely out and Neal Horgan is a doubt with a knee injury.
Danny Murphy (knee) should be available but Shane Duggan (dead leg) is a major doubt as is Colin Healy (knee) while Gear�id Morrissey is suspended.

Slack marking from a national broadcaster last night with the sports bulletin on Today FM, which we heard twice in the car on the way back, and which presumably was repeated several more times overnight.
"...Elsewhere there were wins for Cork City, Sligo Rovers and Waterford United."
Normally I wouldn't be bothered flagging these up, but this one was funny as it conjured up an image of some stringer filing the report four minutes into injury time and then sodding off home!

**DannyInvincible** · 05/05/2017, 8:59 PM

Sean Maguire put Cork 5-0 up against Finn Harps tonight with an 89th-minute penalty, but LiveScore incorrectly have Ryan Delaney down as the scorer:

Oddly, RT� appear to have copied the error:

Don't RT� have reporters/contacts in the ground? Do they actually just copy updates from LiveScore?

**nigel-harps1954** · 05/05/2017, 9:07 PM

It was a penalty too. Not sure how they messed that one up.

Here's the correction attempt:

Worst of all, they had already reported the goal as scored by Maguire in their text updates:

**nigel-harps1954** · 05/05/2017, 9:37 PM

They're really having a good go of it tonight at RTE

Fergal Harkin gave away the penalty for Harps tonight. Is it any wonder we were beat 5-0 when we're calling back retired legends to play for us?

From RT�'s match preview of Cork's game against Levadia tomorrow:

There's a new ref in the league... At least it's not that Neil Doyle bloke, he's muck
