All, they did have a show on the Radio on Wednesday with Daniel Mc Donnell and Dodgey talking about the up coming week end. They were hamstrung with the deal that was done with RTE and the league. ( Friday night Soccer )I dont even know if the show is still on as it has moved to LW.
The Dan McD and Shoddy segment still isn't part of the bloody "football show" though.
Was the news definitely live on Saturday night? I think the shows are recorded after 7pm, so I wouldn't be surprised if they've gone to recorded news too given the apparent cut backs - it's gone on the most disappointing dumbing down exercise the last number of years.
If you attack me with stupidity, I'll be forced to defend myself with sarcasm.
I wouldn't be holding my breath if you're expecting live updates from the A Championship derby - Cobh Ramblers v Cork City A!Originally Posted by don ramo
I phoned the speaking clock to hear a voice speak, it said - "At the tone you will be very much alone"
LOI is not football. It is special.
On saturday evenings Newstalk don't do much spots coverage so I don't think it is deliberately anto LOI.
Its friday night, between football and rugby there is loads of live sport. and they have a review of the week, 15 mins of the cork hurling crisis on now.
I wrote to them but no reply
I'm living in the states and since rte pulled the friday nght sports show, I have no good service.
anyone got any ideas how we could get them to put on a sports show in their sports slot?
aaaarrrrgggghhh
we looked from Montrose to Swords, from swords to Montrose and from Montrose to Swords again but already it was impossible to spot UCDs right winger
Tonight's show is highlights of the week, not a live one

Its 40 mins and counting on cork hurling. there is someone there giving the occasional update. How hard could it be to go round the grounds, even a phone call to a CPO or even a fan at each ground.
They sponsor the league and all they give us is 5 mins a week of roddy ****eing about buckfast and boxing.

That's not live that was on last night. IT'S A REPEAT
The best place for LOI is Today FM at every hour. Next bulletin 9.03pm

Why is Friday Sportsnight gone? That was my radio highlight of the week! Sad i know...... Whats Gabriel and Owen doing now?

if its a repeat i should listen next thursday and put a few quid on the scorelines that the guy reads out

I suppose since Newstalk began their sponsership of the league and Rte lack the funds to run the show.Newstalk as sponsers really should have some sort of a show with live updates around the grounds in Ireland on Friday night.
Eoin Hand sometimes does co-commentary on the TV Coverage
Haven't heard anything of Mr Egan outside of the usual International commentaries
Criminal that they cut Friday Sportsnight with no alternatives on the table
Kom Igen, FCK...
As far as I know it's live with pre-recorded interviews and stuff like Untitled said. They still keep you up to date on latest scores though.
Not at all, I like Today FM, (big fan of Mario Rosentock) but they were very slow at announcing Pat Scully's appointment, maybe it's because they're not a sponser of the league!!!!
Esse Quam Videri
Today FM and Newstalk are run by the same parent company. Hence Tom Dunne's switch. I reckon they probably just weren't on the ball/don't really care as much about 1st division football.
Mind you, I hope to god Limerick go up instead of Sporting or the Sheliban, and I think Scully is the man to do it. If Kenny hadn't come back to us, I'd probably have Scully over any other manager in the leaue (bar maybe Paul Cook).

Can't believe how crap NewsTalk was last night. As a LoI fan living abroad I loved the Friday Sportsnight show on RTE radio with a live match every week and commentators at every ground. Newstalk only gave score updates last night, and not many either. Brutal. Surely part of the sponsorship deal should've been a Friday night LoI show!
Absolutely. Pretty scandalous that its not

"Okay, we'll only accept your sponsership money if you do a LOI show?"
Yep, just like the way the fai pay rte to show mns

But isn't that part of the international coverage package?..... what could they use against NewsTalk?
There's the right way, the wrong way.... and the Max Power way!! :-D
I agree that there is no leverage here like with the national team and MNS, but I am surprised that Newstalk sponsored a league it doesn't seem to want to cover.
