Thread: MNS

One of the goals of month canditates (thnk it was Kudizovic v Galway)they highlighted the wrong team iirc anyone else notice?

**peadar1987** · 10/08/2009, 9:13 PM

Is anyone else a little annoyed that Con's closing words were to plug the Premiership starting next week? I will personally eat the Carlisle Grounds if Eamon Dunphy reminds viewers about next Monday's MNS at any point during RT�'s weekly w*nkfest over all things English.

Flag didn't go up til he scored.

That doesn't matter though.
I didn't see MNS yet, but in general as far as I understand the rule, if a player is in an offside position when a teammate shoots, the assistant shouldn't flag unless and until that player subsequently becomes active, such as when a rebound falls to, or near to, him.
Is that not what happened in this case?

Tonights MNS is now up on the MNS site for anyone who missed it.

Yep noticed that alright, doesn't outshine Cretaro turning his own team-mate though!

Why would Dunphy plug MNS he doesnt present the premiership shows, whoever is presenting it usually plugs MNS

Ctrl + click (on a Mac) = right click (on a PC)

In any case, our defending for Dundalk's 1st goal was woeful. 2 of their players even had time to tackle each other!

Saying that, there were quality strikes in that game from Blinky, Cretaro, Mulvenna and Turner (despite the handball).

Re - Offside

From watching the replay, I would say McGrath was active as he was nearly in line with the original shot as it was taken and therefore would have been in the goalkeeper's line of sight, therefore active.

anyone have a rough idea of viewership figures for MNS?

**tiktok** · 11/08/2009, 10:38 AM

My wife asked me how bad Galway were during the Goal of the month competition.
She was pretty sure that all the goals were scored against them, except Sean kelly's obviously!.
I used the Fenlon interview as an opportunity to make a cup of tea, it's bad enough listening to his twenty second post match interviews. I was back in time for the ad breaks, which I'm sure were more informative.

Fair enough. But how much would it hurt them to provide the following week's fixtures and a glimpse of the table(s)?
