What a bunch of moaners. I think MNS is great and its good to see the presenter is passionate about the league. Shams and Bohs are top of the league and thus deserve most of the coverage. Same in every league.

Some people are never happy.

Actually, Bohs are top of the League (and long may it last). The presenter is not passionate about the league he is passionate about Shamrock Rovers, that is the problem for some people.

i honestly dont care that he supports Rovers but it does seem like the panel last year as a whole failed to give Bohs proper recognition for the style and ease of the League and Cup win last year. Thats what grates me but i love watching the show (rovers bias or not )

I should hope that the anchor of the league's highlights show is passionate about it. What would you prefer? Dunphy? O'Herlihy?

Having a LoI supporter as anchor doesn't mean the show should be above criticism. Overall, MNS is a huge improvement on what went before, but it sure could do with a heap of further improvement itself, not least in the objectivity department.

If its presenters and pundits want to promote their clubs as fans, let them do as the rest of us do, and join foot.ie.

Did anyone else notice the fancy-pants camera angle they used for a replay of O'Connor's shot in the Shams game? Is this RTÉ actually investing in decent coverage of the LOI, or was it provided by Shams. Either way, I've never noticed t before

I suspect they took their footage from TG4's coverage. A pity Barry Ryan's save from Dan Murray wasn't shown in the City highlights, but I suppose they did have about 6 goals more than usual to show from the Cross.

And you speak on his behalf do you?

As i said , an awful lot of moaners on here. Here is a novel idea for you - some a bit of optimisim for a change.

This thread is boring now.

At least one of the MNS team posts on here fairly regularly.

That's an absolute disgrace

Didn't mean you funnily enough. That makes two so.

Good for him/her/them. May his penos always be stonewall and his sendings off harsh.

Avoided this thread until I could watch the show last night as was worried it would spoil it for me. Ummm. Needn't have worried.

Felt great listening to the rather positive updates from Richmond, thought that maybe last night we could have nicked a winner and made things better.

I dont need to as he has never made any secret of his allegiance (the various clips of him at games in Tallaght were a bit of a giveaway as well). Not sure how pointing out his allegiance is pessimistic or moaning - simply stating a fact (known to 95% of viewers).
MNS is a huge improvement on previous coverage, no question, but is far from perfect.

That because unlike the live matches we've been treated to this season they have a tendency to not focus on bohs?

While I can understand you linking "perfect" to "Bohs" i'm afraid not. Coverage is good but often too short on game footage with two many silly add ons (hotshot and that singing thing they did).
As I said it is an improvement on what was there in the past (IE pretty much zilch) but could be better.

Two and a half. I buy buns for AAD.
