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.

I went into that link but after a 48 seconds it froze on me?

Good new graphics. Cult hero feature a great idea.
Can't believe they did a Reservoir Dogs pastiche - which, even ten/fifteen years ago, had become overused and tiresome (rather typical of RTE's inability to ever come up with an original idea).
But overall - an improvement on last year. Good to see it back.

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

Ye gads ! after (broadly) complimenting RTE only yesterday on the Bohs/Sporting Fingal coverage I find myself complimenting them again this morning. as MK said above there was a much more professional feel about the new format, this type of programme is what the League has been crying out for and I believe should entice more to LOI.
Also great to see the increased crowds on opening day. All round a rare but welcome good week for the LOI (not quite at the Airtricity league stage yet

) long may it last.

One very bad night at the office for jamie harris dosent make a season .First game and all that .We were crap theres no denying that ! We have to get the finger out on sun for the louth derby . Not overly panicking just yet . We picked up one point in 10 games last season so theres hope yet .UCD looked like a fine team , or did we just make them look good ?

We dont often agree but i was at the game right behind the goal and the ref was just about to give the peno when the linesman flagged .The only time the players were offside was in the actual follow up play and the look on the referees face when he realised the lino was flagging for offside was comical. Fair play to the RTE panel for saying that Mr. Sutton has set the bar vey high for any referee this season as some of the tackles in the other games that didnt see the players getting booked were far worse than simulation ,albeit if he didnt jump Gutsy would have went through him, on the halfway line.

The game was over after that but it took a howler from Rhys menell to hand Pats the Insurance goal.

Good opening effort from MNS, and liked the new time too
A little disappointed about Tony Mc over the diving and cheating for the peno in the Bohs game, if its cheating then say it is so..............
And is the email/photo/phonecall segment gone for good?

Watch it again, Guthrie's foot firmly on the ground when O'Donnell dives - if he didn't dive, he'd have run into an outstretched leg, but I don't agree, with Guthrie already having a foot in the ground, would have gone thorugh him. Very difficult to play 70 odd minutes away with 10 men, but onward and upwards, that is in the past, bring on Bray

You shouldn't take that lying down. Just think to yourself - what would Maxi do?

If you hover your mouse over the top left of the screen it should give you the option of watching in a stand alone real player. Works for me anyway (Firefox)

I think double clicking on the stream might work too
