The less scenes on empty stands and grassy terraces the better IMO. If that means 2 minutes highlights, so be it.

Thats something that i always though could work to clubs advantage, close off stands where cameras wont focus on and ensure there are more people in the stand that cameras do focus on. Something that is very easily done to be fair. I know you can only do this is a few grounds but it should be done.

You have a point there to an extent. If the game play was better over all then it would make it harder to cut some of it out and replace it with 'gimmicks'. Its far easier to edit and show end to end football with chances and incident than try and come up with a gimmick to make up the time.

Or even more/better analysis of the goals. Having the panel talk about them afterwards. I know I'd prefer to look at football than panellists. Even if they could tempt Claire Tully away from extratime.ie!

Or a proper, decent feature about the club and its place in the community. Either of those Cork/Bray features on Nationwide would have been great on MSN (although it's great they're reaching a wider audience).

Lads, if we want more footage of games then we'll have to ask for it. Can you take two minutes out and fire a quick mail off to mns@rte.ie to let them know.

There's no evidence they act on it. Like I've said on one of the other threads, it seems bizarre to me - surely the expensive part of the show is the filming of the football, which they then do their best to ignore for the show!

I've sent them two or three over the last year or two. They're not great about replying to be honest, so I don't know if they're taking the suggestions on board.

Or they just disagree with you...

Which would make them part of the noisy majority. Still, a "Thank you for contacting MNS, your suggestions have been noted, and will be considered at the next meeting of the production team" email would just be good public relations (Even if they have no intention of doing anything but deleting my email straight away!)

RTE need to make their mind up what type of show MNS is. is it a tongue in cheek show like Soccer AM or a proper highlights show like MOTD? current format is cringeworthy at times and as for that ridiculous MNS Facebook page.... Grrr....
