From MNS Twitter:

On tonights show we have Mr Words Damien Richardson, Mr Pats Richie Sadlier and Mr Walk John Giles.

We also have a look back at Roddy Collins' first day in the Monaghan hot-seat as well as all the action from around the Premier league

Great to see Giles on it. He may not be too familiar with the players but I'm enjoying him on it and I'm sure it appeals to the barstoolers to see him on it.

How many more managers are going to use other teams budgets as an excuse for losing. Some teams have bigger budgets, get on with it and stop worrying about what everyone else is spending.

Roddys hat..

**Magicme** · 14/03/2011, 6:42 PM

Thank you MNS!

Giles did well.

Pity they couldn't continue in the same vein as the Roddy Collins segment - i.e. cover each team once, as a means of at least half-covering the First Division . . . ?

Naw Ped-ped, none of you deserve coverage coz you aint got Roddy!

I actually agree with you that they could do a feature on each club each week.

If they made the highlights any shorter i wouldnt have to sky+ Coronation Street anymore,they are making a right boll*x out of the show.

Some things are not worth swapping

That offside decision by Douglas

After watching the part about Roddy it confirms my belief that everyone from Monaghan is a inbred red neck.

**poster** · 14/03/2011, 7:11 PM

I love Roddy Collins.

Tonights show was poor. Except for the Rovers match all the other games got little air time and little analysis. Then there was far to much gimmicky things (finger puppets & Roddys thing was okay but to long) and a good chunk of the show went to the national team, which gets plenty of coverage elsewhere. We are now at a stage where the league is struggling to get air time in its own prime time show.

I'd love to time it and see how many minutes are actually highlights of the games. Out of the.....say 50 minutes of the show (60 mins minus ad breaks?), I wonder is even 10 minutes actual footage of games. It's a show on LOI, keep it to LOI. Get rid of all other crap, cut it down to only two analysts and show more footage.

Also, the cameraman for the Dundalk game was a joke. Ball was almost never in shot. Even though they had more than one camera in the Showgrounds, they never showed a replay of the Twigg claim - all you could see was him going down, no more detail.

All that said, it showed Limerick top of Division 1, so it was the best show ever.

Would agree with most of what you say but can see the angle MNS are going for. By having the bigger Pundits on the show and spending more time focusing on the International side, they're hoping to get people who wouldn't normally watch MNS to tune in. If it boosts viewership figures plus gets a few people to maybe attend LOI games, then it would be worth it. Not sure it will achieve either mind you but can understand the rationale behind it.
