New series. Four-part documentary in which Darragh Maloney explores the history of Irish football and the national soccer team, beginning with a look at the years from 1863 to 1929, when rules and structure to the sport were developed in England, and the Irish Football Association was established

does anyone know if ntl box recordings can be transferred to cd or usb etc?

[SwanVsDalton]

I'm assuming it's tied into this, which I'm currently reading. Pretty good so far.

Consider it done, your donation has already been received anyway

not really, your best bet is to connect a DVD recorded to the box, record it onto DVD and then rip the DVD on a PC

there may or may not be ways and means to rip from the RTE Player, where presumably it will be available.

Thats where I'm planning on get it (quality not great unfotunately), though I'm hoping someone will post it on Irish Torrents so it will be good quality.

Just saw the advert for it, looks class. Long overdue a programme like this, looking forward to it.

'Tis related. Peter Byrne and Darragh Maloney discuss the book/programme in a 20-minute interview with Pat Kenny: http://www.rte.ie/sport/player/813/321181/

desperate to watch this. will it be available online? Not available to UK users on RTE player and Irish torrents appears to be some sort of secret society.

Indicates here that "Live Streaming" is Republic of Ireland only - that is usually an indication that the recording will only be available on the RTE Player within Ireland. Google the best options for Irish proxy server.

David Goldblatt of the Guardian. Nice hair.

Just started lads.

[BonnieShels]

Brilliant show. That surge of pride at the end was something. Roll on Poznan.

Missed the first 20 min due to a computer fart but will watch tomorrow.

[SwanVsDalton]

If anyone can offer advice on where to watch for anyone not on God's soil (ROI), that'd be most appreciated.
