strange show last night it looked that they were struggling to fill the last quarter of the show you would nearly forget that they had 450 minutes of footage to use, the international thing is only to make the new super special guest feel a bit more comfortable it wouldn't do much for me.The TV3 show was poorly made but it was all about the games and not about gimmicks and ego trippers like shoddy.

That press thing is insane. its a satelitte link up to where exactly?

Another part of RTE? WTF?

**ped_ped** · 17/03/2011, 12:45 PM

Yeah, they should have Daniel McDonnell in studio, tbf.

Or alternatively they should not discuss the national team at all, considering they're kinda covered by . . . every other media outlet already.

**Straightstory** · 17/03/2011, 3:30 PM

Paper Talk doesn't fit in to the show at all. Same with stuff about the national team Bad move. Otherwise - good show.

**outspoken** · 18/03/2011, 8:27 AM

The made in Ireland thing was really stupid they just showed a few clips of ward putting the ball in the net for wolves and bohs if there going to do that segment why not give us some information on the player

To be fair to Giles he did actually attend the Bohs match he covered. My previous concern about "celeb" analyts was that they would give views based on the 5 minutes coverage shown. If Giles et al are going to attend games every week (maybe even outside Dublin shock, horror

) then they can be an addition. If its good enough forGilesy maybe a few barstoolers may venture along (as long as weather is good, corrie is not on and the pubs are closed of course

).

Agree with most that there is too much crap and not enough highlights on MNS. Even allowing for RTE trying to broaden the appeal I think they have diluted the coverage too much. also think any more than two "experts" is too much.

A documentary of this season for Monaghan would be a good view. The joy, the tears, the fights and the ****e talk all rolled up in an hour.
Be a good night in

He has. It's called Monaghan United. Hope it's not shown before the watershed.

Roddy in Louis Copeland was hilarious, I could just picture the security gaurd shadowing him around the store.
As for the footage of our game against shams, what a joke.

what do you call a cross between a celebrity and a secretary?

**Spudulika** · 19/03/2011, 10:48 AM

I enjoyed the show in general, the points made about Roddy from the panellists were spot on (to forget the showboating and get some substance), but the angle of having a club profiled each week has been brought up on this forum time and again, yet we forget, the person behind the show is English and desperately trying to ape that abomination on Saturday mornings on sky tv. Instead of going our own way, we yet again suck from the hind teat of what is worse in the motherland. There is so many positives to be taken from the chance of this show, but it's suffering. no problem with the international team being mentioned, we're all Irish anyway.

Is Con not doing his MNS blog this season? Shame, an enjoyable read at times.

Didn't see that, but since when do Longford have a match programme? I got what was basically a pamphlet of advertisements last year. Nothing by way of articles, previews, etc - just a sticker on the front and the teamsheet to show what game it was for.

**gustavo** · 21/03/2011, 6:56 PM

Typical thuggish behavior from Turner

It was on it last season.. we do have a match programme but the budget for it is quite low at present.. if there was more people going to matches in flancare the budget may increase.. strangely enough in waterford over the years I was up there there wasnt even a program issued on two or three occasions.. strange..
