UCD v Galway Live

Where is the live TV thread gone?

United are live on TV again - it was the choice of us or Bohs v Cork but RTE said there were too many complaints with the quality of Bohs football when previously shown on the box.

Poor choice. Well done RTE.

Only match that'd could've been shown IMO

Also means all 12 premier clubs will have featured on live TV this season

Are you serious?

Where'd you get that crap from?

How is it a poor choice?

Bohs - Cork
Derry - Cobh
Drogs - Pats
Harps - Rovers
Sligo - Bray
UCD - Galway

Not a great week for any match. All matches only have, at most, one team who are really playing for anything. UCD is five minutes down the road from RTÉ, that's the deciding factor.

I don't think there's any case for giving any match a priority over others.

I think it was the best choice out there....especially for the bit of drama.

obviously it wont be the 2 best footballing sides in Ireland, but it'll be exciting.

Yep, that's why we've been beating them and their cameras away from our new ground with a stick.

It's the obvious choice. If Galway win, they stay up. A shame they'll do it live on TV against us, but there you go. Also, if it's in the rules that each team has to be shown live once, then it's now or never for us. Just hope it gives our players a bit of a root and let them go out on a high. Though I'd take going out on a mid at this stage.

All better choices imo. Bohs/Cork in particular.

Apparantly the broadcasting regulators told them they were forbidden from showing our lads before the nine O clock watershed.

Bohs have won the league and will be preparing for the cup final. They won't be worked up for it.

Derry Cobh will probably be a poor game. Derry have the same reasons as Bohs not to be motivated. Cobh need to hammer Derry to have any chance of staying up and I don't see that happening.

Sligo will beat us easily. It'll be a poor match to show.

UCD Galway won't be any better but it's closer i.e. cheaper.

We(Galway Utd) are not the worst footballing side in the country.We definatly dont play hoof-ball anyway and will play it on the ground.The only thing though will be the attendance,we are bringing 200/300 plus there and we will then out-number the UCD fans so it will look awfull on tv to see a poor crowd.

If you come in from Clonskeagh, turn left at the roundabout and you'll find it easily enough.

Bray v Cobh had 300 at it live on telly a couple of weeks ago and nobody cared. Seems people don't even engage their brains when talking about UCD any more; it's like they go straight into stereotype.

huh? He didn't compare it to others. He said there'd be a ****e crowd there and it'd look crap on TV. Which is probably true. Stereotype or not

I'll see what the Sat Nav has to say about it too,thanks though.

I agree. Just looking for consistency. Bray v Cobh was clearly going to have a ****e crowd, but I don't remember anyone complaining about that before the event.

Total no-brainer, this game is the natural choice for the coverage.

And only one person did it here. No big deal

There's nothing much to play for in any of those games. Rovers v Bray particularly, two teams marooned in mid-table for months. Galway and Harps are the two teams with something major to play for so those are the only two games worth showing. Personally, I'd rather our disastrous form wasn't showcased to the country but maybe being on TV will motivate them.
