A bit strange seeing the highlights with the focus on the ref.

Interesting though

**Blue-Army** · 17/03/2008, 7:36 PM

The Bray highlights are awful quality.

**Soper** · 17/03/2008, 7:51 PM

Cobh match didn't look great, commentary was a bit...weird.

We need to move the gantry to the other stand. Would look so much better

**Blue-Army** · 17/03/2008, 7:55 PM

They only had to announce 5 first division results but they still managed to make a mistake....they said that we drew 1-1 with Galway.

**rambler14** · 17/03/2008, 8:03 PM

Whats the point of telling people to e-mail the show when they never read out any. I sent in an e-mail about the standard of refereeing and it was never read like every other one that was sent in.

During the Dave McKeown feature did anyone else notice Tom the Gom waiting at the referees door?

**geezer** · 17/03/2008, 8:03 PM

the lighting at all grounds bar dalymount and the brandywell is truly shocking. The Fai should be talkin to rovers, sligo,cobh and bray. Years looking for a quality highlights package all to fall short because of light bulbs? its mad Ted

feck, forgot to watch it.

In the sixty second feature, one of the questions was "if you had to kiss one of your team-mates, who would it be?". What answer did she think she was going to get there?!?

So they know how to improve things? The point of e-mailing them isn't necessarily to satisfy some ego-crusade by having your name said out on telly.

The ref segment was very good; nice to get an insight into why decisions were made rather than simply abusing the ref for them without understanding what happened.

60 seconds is still silly, although less silly when it's one of your players featured.

The McKeon feature was really good I thought; and it meant they could show what was their live game on Friday from a different angle; Fahey's goal was great - sorry they didn't get the melee from the Jodi side - I'm convinced I saw Ryan swing at Brennan, which means the lino saw it too.

made me laugh seeing tom at dalymount...they should do a feature on him some week!
thought the referee thing was interesting, doubt they train 5 nights a week though.
the referee in the shams-cork game was a disgrace, stone wall penalty for rovers, and never a free kick for their goal. that one in 'sixty' is hot....they should have her on the panel every week.

Exactly...the woman doing the interview is useless...whats with the face she makes?

The linesman was awful too. We should have had a peno in the second half too but they didnt show it.

Terrible all round, but evened out in the end I thought

Abusing them when you do know what happened is much more rewarding.

I thought focusing on the ref during the game distracted from the highlights. There seemed to be more fouls featured than shots and there was no replay of the goal or the Crowe shot.

**ashbournebohs** · 17/03/2008, 8:10 PM

Wasnt it weird listening to mckeown briefing his assistants about a possible melee before the game and it practically pans out exactly like he said with the keeper running out.

**SPXcyan** · 17/03/2008, 8:11 PM

FECK!! didnt get to see it tonight

me maaaa introduced me to her new bf! I was feckin itchin to run away for the show! feckin feckers anywayz!

Will the whole show be archived on RT�'s website by any chance??

Going by the comments I was hearing during the Bray match, those pretty much were the highlights.

The foul on Dessie Baker was laughable alright. But if you want to see a bad ref you should have seen the ref in Cobh on Saturday. There was a Galway defender who punched the ball out for a corner and in the 1st half one of the assistants flagged offside for a throw.

Jacqui Hurley does that sixty thing and shes not bad on the eye alright. One day she will get a response from a player where the question is "Who is your ideal women?" and the cheeky fecker will answer "you"

**LeixlipRed** · 17/03/2008, 8:16 PM

Excellent show this week. Thought Mr. Foley done very well. Seems an intelligent chap. The ref feature was fantastic I thought. Very well made. All round, very good show

**feo123** · 17/03/2008, 8:20 PM

'im being told we must take a break now, so see you after....oh wait no we don't''
really should try and eradicate things like this, somethin similar happened last week, funny enough though
maybe they should try to get referees to ive interviews after the games at every match aswell, worth trying it anyway
