QuoteThe show is a massive improvement on TV3's coverage. Should extend it for next season and cover the first division too. How hard would it be to get cameras to 11 grounds?
Full marks to them alright, its great to have it but, and i hate saying this but its only what we deserve. They neglected the league for years. MNS is basic, its not above and beyond the duty type stuff by any means. So while i welcome it, and am proud of it i do recognise its something that we should have had for years?
The SFAI are the governing body for grassroots football in Ireland, not the FAI. Its success or the lack of is all down to them.

Decent show - but they can do a lot better than the current panel, foley is a bore, collins is arrogant and the others are just ok. For eg collins couldnt be bothered going to the shels v lim`k game knowing he was going to be asked to comment - (i got a text from meeee daughter who was at the game - was his reply) i think sean connor was the only one who consistently went to games
also a first div round goals up would be good next year.
I think a media person like philip quinn/emmet malone/paul lennon should be on each week

aas an exile i think MNS, the website is just brilliant. The blogs, the team by team goals, goal of the month. Keeps me really in touch with whats going on. Love it.
I like high energy football. A little bit rock and roll. Many finishes instead of waiting for the perfect one.
RTE finally making up for years of ignoring the LOI (prehaps a bit less Roddy Colins next season) fair play to all invloved, long may it continue. Although I did stopped watching it for a good part of the season cause once was enough to see most of Harps game this season

Excellent show and nice to hear Managers & Players opinions being interviewed after games,also nice to see ex-players giving their analysis on the games ( pity about Collins).
Probably could do with extending program for an extra half hour.
That's very, very true. The website's great.Originally Posted by SkStu
I think one of my favourite moments of the series came when Sean Connor went back to Sligo to watch a game. It was so awkward and David Brentish, with Connor trying to be pals with all his old staff and watching the game from the stand.

The Shams player?
Life without Rovers, it makes no sense...it's a heartache...nothing but a fools game. S.R.F.C.
My mistake: "Sean Connor."The Shams player?
Website is excellant and show is very good.Presenter could not be better and it shows through that he is a EL fan.
Think they should let Brian De Salvo have a regular feature, he would add a bit of flavour.
Great programme and, as has been pointed out, brilliant website.
A bit rough around the edges at times. I agree that there should be more replays of major incidents.
My main gripe is that so many of their pundits have agendas. Roddy Collins mouthing off is an easy choice for producers but is wearing thin.
One of the best parts of MNS this season was watching their growing dismay as Bohs marched inexorably towards a record-breaking title, where for so long they were in denial that it was happening. Talk about damning with faint praise!
Only in a supervised test laboratory!Can you put lipstick on a sheep?
LESS OF THE BULL NOW!
Lose Colm Foley and Pat Morley
Yeah man, they call gambling a disease, but it's the only disease where you can win a bunch of money.
Well done MNS, masive improvement from TV3
That's because ITV have the licence to show highlights of the Championship (as well as League 1 and 2) on a Sunday morning..
Weren't RTÉ saying that MNS was a ratings failure for a Monday night show? Hard to see the above happening if so.
I'd keep Roddy Collins on for entertainment sake. Anyone else notice how 60 seconds always ended with the girl laughing (or trying not to) even if the answer wasn't in any form funny? Scrap that segment altogether. The Good, Bad and Ugly part was probably my favourite section. Funston of Harps must have featured in that the most!
How much attention did they give it before that...
With only an hour long programme there's no time to show the First Division, regardless of whether it should be included or not.
The show is never going to be more than an hour long. Any coverage given to the First Division would only be paltry and disrupt the balance of the show. It's better to focus on the Premier Division than give token coverage to the First.
ITVs had the rights for as long as I can remember, so I think its a bit of a dodgy point as to what coverage the BBC might have given a decade+ ago... they get the rights back in 2009 (along with some live games) so we'll see then.
Agree with the consensus that MNS is a quality show (& with AFace, that our league has deserved this for a long time). In particular the website is very impressive & hopefully we will get more & better again next season.
For that - I wonder can they start the show a week before the season with a (longer) special look-ahead to the season show???
