Would like to see a short pre-season show the monday before the season kicks off. I know its probably too late at this stage but a show discussing the comings and goings between the clubs and what has happened in the off season, with disscusions on who will be favourites etc... would be a good way to kick start the 09 season.

yeah i agrree it would be class that

On the plus side I really like the fact that the shows were available on the internet.

Agreed. I often recorded it and watched it later, especially in July and August when there are lots of other things to be doing rather than watching TV.

Also, rearranged games, Setanta Cup games and FAI Cup replays are often played on Monday nights at the same time as MNS.

I agree.

Also, the last section of the last episode just makes me hungry for the league to start again. It was MNS at its best:

I wouldn't have thought up against all the soaps was really a prime time slot anyway. At the moment they have Against the Head on in that slot so they aint shifting anything.

**luka** · 23/02/2009, 8:35 AM

MNS is still Mon night at 8.02 Trust me.

**A face** · 23/02/2009, 9:13 AM

People, it seems to be on Monday at 8.00 again. Can people stop reacting unless the hear otherwise and quote your source as well. And hearing it off a guy in the pub is not a good enough source.

**gufct** · 23/02/2009, 9:47 AM

We are plagued with this on the GUST website with evrything being posted anywhere on the internet being taken as gospel.

Surely that depends on who the guy is!

In any case, there's this wonderful new invention called "the Internet", which allows you to watch MNS whenever you want.

And since you've found the ability to post on here, accessing it shouldn't be a problem.

All joking aside, the FAI accepted a significantly lower TV package bid from RTE in order to secure the primetime slot. I can't see them giving it up without a lot of money changing hands.

As long as you have access to broadband, which I, along with a significant amount of people, do not.

Dial up is still around?

Sorry if that small shocked face takes long to download..

Oops sorry.

**Sunny Jim** · 23/02/2009, 10:59 AM

Yep dial-up is still the only option for hundreds of thousands of people in 21st century Ireland. What a great country we live in.

A time where most people will be thinking of going to bed.

Just let me get this straight. In the past we had E.L.W, which I'm sure went to the wall because of the stupid time they had it on, hense
the low viewing numbers. M.N.S. was at a PRIME TIME, which means, you don't need to keep Draculas' hours to see it, and now there telling us that
those numbers are down, and that they actually think that the numbers are going to IMPROVE going back to the 11.30/midnight slot.

Good luck to ye lads. Well I can GUARNTEE I won't be watching it.

Wouldnt like to see what you'd post if it was actually a fact

As micls said nothing has been confirmed so we should hold off on the sensationalism until we know the facts. It's a great show and I'm sure it wont be changed to some god awful hour.

But how could that be if FF promised to have it rolled out Nation Wide

Would it kill em to show goals from Div 1? Give each club a decent enough camera, train some intrested young fella who's studying media or something and Bobs your uncle, would certainly stir up intrest in the lower league.

Where are they going to get 6 cameras? it begrudges them to cover the premier FFS

**holidaysong** · 23/02/2009, 3:00 PM

With there being one less premier division game each weekend this season, they should also cover the top first division game each week. It won't cost them any more than last season as they will be still doing 6 games each weekend.
