I still have some invites, Boovidge.
any chance someone could pm me an invite? many thanks
You have to send the pm with your email address.
But I'm not convinced that you're of good character.
Just a reminder (for those of you in Ireland), the second episode of 'Green Is the Colour' is on RTÉ Two again at 10:25 tonight.
Book by the same name also available now for anyone interested.
Danny, any chance you can upload the next episode? thx

Missed it last night any good in comparison to episode 1?
DID YOU NOTICE A SIGN OUTSIDE MY HOUSE...?
Wasn't actually myself had uploaded the first episode, but I see RTÉ have now had it removed from YouTube on copyright grounds along with other documentaries like 'The Cat is in the Bag' that were uploaded by the same user. With that in mind, 'haughtyjack' mightn't bother uploading the second episode. I'm sure it will appear on Irish Torrents at some point today, however, if you were willing to download it from there. Could send you an invite if you wish? Or when I finally get it, I could try uploading it to YouTube myself.
part two covered a much larger timespan than part one, from before World War 2 until the early '80s, so I thought a few points were skipped over.
more time should have been given to the impact of the GAA ban, which is still in effect today
thought it was interesting that the introduction of TV played a big part in the downfall of the league when people started watching Match of the Day instead of going to local games. The obvious question was why RTE didn't have their own version of it?
the other side of the TV problem was that it played a part in the eventual removal of the ban. when they realised it was impossible to monitor who was watching soccer at home!

The 2nd part is up on Irish Torrents, though atm speed is at a dribble.
Not a bad programme, never realised that the gaa were exempt from dev's entertainment tax while the fai and irfu were hit. It had to have an impact on the development of the sport in this country.

Absolutely ridiculous the amount of power/influence the catholic church had back then!!
