Are you for real?

Man Utd on TV 26 times last season, more than Champions Man City and way more than others clubs.

IN a poor year for Bayern on the pitch, they still earn most from TV...

Nice one.

So you compare combined Sky and terrestrial fees of English football to explain RTE's coverage of Shamrock Rovers and to explain's its national broadcaster remit - which in my opinion, is

(a) a perverse selective and wrong-headed approach!

(b) Probably the ultimate in bar-stooler psychology economics, and

(c) Just nonsense.

You really are a laugh! You need help.

Throw me a link over Italian TV -- I couldn't give a monkey's about any of them, but go knock yourself out son!

No, I showed you a link showing that Man united were shown more on Live TV because thats what you asked for.

Don't ask for links and then say you don't care about them when they disprove your waffle.

Sorry if facts get in the way of your moans

Re-interpreting questions to suit the illogical and misguided answers you give, eh? Read, the thread and you might have some clue as to what you are saying and what was posited to you?

You gave two links - one re Premiership, which doesn't tally with the point at hand, ie you have included satellite and terrestrial figures as a comparator for RTE's coverage.

Do you comprehend the distinction? That's a point you fail to answer or address. That's not a moan, that's call clarity of thought, something you obviously haven't employed in this topic.

Re unread threads -- don't be offended. I couldn't be bothered getting into details if you don't even understand the point you are trying to make!

**Dodge** · 20/09/2012, 1:26 PM

I'll repeat for the slow.

Shamrock Rovers are shown more on TV because they are more likely to appeal to TV viewers and advertisers

There are clubs in each league in Europe that are in the same position.

Are you trying to disagree with this?

**Mr A** · 20/09/2012, 1:28 PM

Yeah, but have you any links to prove that?

Still you fail to see the nonsense of your interminable idiotic responses.

Someone here previously has said RTE were not in a love-in with Shams - that's it in a nut-shell.

My replies are in relation to this point and some guff from you re Sky showing Man U etc because they are and ALWAYS (caps as you like to emphasise this word) biggest club blah, blah.

Comparisons are really odious but however, do you understand the various financial scales re games shown and FA dividend to clubs? If so, you might appreciate RTE are not in the same boat and therefore these Big Club considerations do not pertain.

If its down to pure commercialism, I suppose some guru in RTE has cracked the golden 'Burgers sold in the Square in McD's' v 'LOI advertising per second cost' ratio? Rich commercial pickings!!

**Dodge** · 20/09/2012, 2:09 PM

While the relative scales is a decent point, to dismiss commercialism for an ad supported TV programme is folly. Do you honestly believe that Rovers are on TV more because of a love in between RTE and Rovers?

As a neutral I would match a game that Rovers are playing in quicker than I would watch a game sligo playing in, also Rovers appeal to more of the population than sligo do, I doubt to many from outside sligo would wish to watch sligo on TV most weeks

You're probably not neutral though. Galway fans dislike Sligo by and large.

I've no problem watching them, they play better football than all but maybe Pat's.

Shellys cracking up......

But you're not a neutral...

Jez, if they put on a free open-air public broadcast of Shamrock Rovers v Galway Whatevers on a Big Screen at Eyre Sq you'd do well to get 50 stragglers in off Bother Mor.

Stick to Daithi O'Shea as a Gaelgoir weatherman and Machnas - that's what Galway excels at.
