I like the new on screen graphics they added, I don't think they had the starting XI for both teams running along the bottom while they were showing highlights last season either.

The new Cult Heroes feature is cool.

**MMVIII** · 08/03/2010, 6:50 PM

Richie Ryan, not Gary McCabe and visa versa. Well done MNS.

Remember you heard it here on foot.ieforums first.

Didn't see it tonight, so did they??

Seeing that hand ball/penalty call in the Shams - Rovers game again I still don't see where the hand ball was.
Would have helped if they discussed it in the studio and showed another slow mo replay.

Try this video here and skip forward to 2:25 to see the incident in question: http://www.srfc.tv/blog/

It's in better quality than the MNS one, you can quite clearly the Sligo player at the end of the wall for some reason charges down the free kick by throwing himself at the ball, and waving his arm in the air above his head. If you follow the flight of the ball you can see it 'loops' in the air after it goes by the wall, so it must have struck the outstretched hand. Good spot by the ref, I didn't see it on the night. Also if you look at the reaction of the Sligo player he knew exactly what he'd done and doesn't contest it. Really was a terrible error from him.

Actually if you watch the video above you'll see that Buttimer puts his whistle to his mouth at the time the ball has bounced for the first time and is walking towards the spot, when he does that Shamrock Rovers players have only had time to put their hands in the air in protest. The free was taken on 2.29 in the above video, it's at 2.30 that he puts his whistle to his mouth and start walking. The refereeing in this league is crap, but that's a good bit of refereeing there.

Yes, RTE sent Tony O'Donoghue up there to do pre and post match interviews with managers, players and fans. Showed brief highlights of the game, Davin O' Neill took his goal very well. Great to see a very healthy attendance at the Brandywell and both sets of supporters having the craic in the Derry City supporters lounge afterwards.

**Poor Student** · 08/03/2010, 8:04 PM

Will it be replayed at some ungodly hour? I was hoping to watch it on full TV instead of RTE player.

**MariborKev** · 08/03/2010, 9:26 PM

Really enjoyed it tonight

-New credits
-New features(ones that I'd say I'll watch)
-New studio setup
-Good music(picked out Mumford and Son, Streets amongst others)

**WoodquayBoy** · 08/03/2010, 10:10 PM

Cheers, just watched it. Drogheda were muck, yeah, O'Neill took that goal really well, and more poor refereeing decisions - disagree with commentary in Pats Utd match that lino got it right, thought from highlights Damien Lynch, just out of shot, was playing them on

Sums it up well. I thought it all came across more professional and hopefully it's a sign of things to come for the rest of the series.

Why would you let facts get in the way of a moan about a refereeing decision?!

It looks like it's the linesman that's given the penalty from the referees reaction - you can see him looking over before he gives it and then Richard Brush is having a go.

Stupid defending to be charging a free kick with your hands raised like that.

**Pauro 76** · 09/03/2010, 8:49 AM

is the MNS website working for anyone this morning? Can't get video player to work on mine, using Firefox....

**pineapple stu** · 09/03/2010, 8:56 AM

Yeah, I just sat through highlights of our win in Drogheda. Didn't realise from the away stand quite how awful Drogheda's defending was for all three goals. They're going to sink without trace if they continue like that.

**jinxy lilywhite** · 09/03/2010, 9:19 AM

forgot to set the sky+ to record it until 20 mins in. Luckily got to see dundalks victory. Though dissappointed with Tony McDonnells assessment of Dundalks board and their expectations.
I didn't think Stephen O'Donnell should of been sent off in the Galway - pats game. I didn't think it was a dive
