True.

But if Boo Boy's house isn't one of the ones monitored for the rating figures, then they'll never know....

Former Sligo striker Darren Mansaram was brought into the starting 15, while James Creaney made a first appearance as a substitute.

I always thought it was starting 11?

Dam GAA heads!

EDIT:
Though besides that its an excellent report, even included the squad numbers.

According to RTE news at 9, Sligo were playing Dundalk at the Sportsgrounds

Might be explained by their consulting their online fixtures list, which going into the weekend was, not for the first time, entirely blank.

Of course it will, he has a TV licence.

You do understand that the paper TV license doesn't contain the technology to magically track a holder's viewing habits......?

Just saw an ad for RTE announcing coverage of Panathanikos v Atletico Madrid this week in CL qualifier. Do they have to pay extra for this game I wonder? I didnt think any qualifiers were included in what they pay for the group stages.

Their coverage starts at this round, so they're not paying extra for it.

TV3 and ITV will be showin Celtic V Arsenal so RTE will probably broadcast the home leg.

What percentage of the population of the Republic can't receive ITV ? Surely it's fairly low ?

In which case - what's the feckin point in Irish channels showing games the English channels are also showing, and which they invariably make a better job of as well ?

ITV does not do a better job of covering football than anyone, anywhere, ever.

Think you might find a few of the dundalk heads disagreeing with you there

I don't watch ITV, but the RTE/TV3 coverage of non-domestic football is dreadful, wooden and, if Dunphy is on, painfully tedious.

Graeme Souness is harder to listen to than a squeaky Cork accent with a stutter and tourettes....

**Mr A** · 16/08/2009, 8:36 PM

All a matter of opinion of course, but I would rather the RTE style where people have actual opinions that the bland dross served up by the UK stations.

Remember what they said on MNS, the qualifiers do not come under the contract for the CL, well, thats the reason they gave for not showing for Bohs and Salzburg. They use any excuse for not showing it.

The mail I got from Alkin states that the contract starts at the final qualifying round - this round.
