UCD v Galway Live

[Lim till i die]

Could a case have been made for showing a (runs for cover) First Division game on the Saturday evening instead.

[Dodge]

Not as important as the Relegation thing

[Lim till i die]

If Shels win they're up.

If they don't and Dundalk win blah, blah

Whereas the relegation thing is all but sorted??

Maybe we could have live coverage of the meetings in Febuary to decide who actually goes up and down

[Rovers Maniac]

Not as important as the Relegation thing

Fair enough point to be fair esp with that Licence isuue hanging over Cork.

Just for the record i agree UCD v Galway should be the game that is on tv.

[pineapple stu]

And only one person did it here. No big deal

Slippery slope, Dodge. Slippery slope.

[Mr Maroon]

Whereas the relegation thing is all but sorted??

Not really!

[pineapple stu]

Given our form, it is.

Given I don't think tenth place will go down, it really is.

[Lim till i die]

Not really!

Just not lose to UCD isn't it?!

I mean, come on!!

[pineapple stu]

Exactly.

Don't bring a keeper, go 1-0 up, then go "Ah ha! We did have a keeper after all!", bring him on and win 2-0.

Or the exact same without the keeper shenanigans.

[Conor H]

It mightn't look to bad on TV.

UTD have been playing some good stuff lately that's enjoyable to watch.If UCD were to nick an early goal it will be exciting(and disastrous)from the off.

There'll be a good atmosphere there aswell.4 buses already heading to Dublin with a few hundred driving.Should be 500 there,if not more,from Galway.

[Mr Maroon]

We have to win to be sure

[Dodge]

BTW if all games were on Friday I'd say the Shels game should be the TV one

[Terry-Lander]

The relagation 'thing' is NOT decided. Yes it's in our own hands and on paper looks like a relatively easy task but..this is football and anything can happen over 90 minutes. I imagine UCD would be happy with a nil all draw and after last Friday, pride, if nothing else, will drive Harps on so a win for them is not out of the question.

The rather large lady may be lubricating her vocal chords but she hasn't sung just yet.

By 9.20pm on Friday I hope she is singing 'The fields of Athenry'

Yes, and if Bohs v Cork was the League decider, then that should be the one shown. It's not, and neither are all games on Friday

[GalwayRed]

BTW if all games were on Friday I'd say the Shels game should be the TV one

Yeah there would be good case for that....but since the games saturday why isnt it possible to show it live anyway? Too much to expect RTE to show consecutive Irish league matches i guess

[Dodge]

Presumably Saturday night's TV schedule is booked up by the Premiership

Fair enough point to be fair esp with that Licence isuue hanging over Cork.

Eh? What license issue "hanging over us"?

The FAI have made it clear: this 3 year ban applies only to clubs which re-emerge as a new company. Not the case.

[mypost]

Rovers - Bray

Say though that RTE are pised off not having a glamour game to finish their coverage.

I'd be far from certain that Cork will get a premier league license next year

What's not glamorous about UCD and United????!!!!!!!
By the way, agree it would be a good idea to have a First Division match on Saturday - a relegation tussle one night, promotion the next, but as Dodge said, time is probably taken up by the sacred Premiersh*te coverage
