The same happened to Waterford United last year with the main sponsor pulling out at the last moment. They eventually rescinded their decision, but I wonder if it was at a much reduced level of financial input. Given the relative weakness of LOI clubs in the market, I wonder if this is a planned strategy...

Does anyone know if there are any highlights of the first few games anywhere? Do Setanta do a highlight clip or anything?

There was no cameras in Tallaght. I think Setanta only sent cameras to the live game and may have told clubs not to produce highlights themselves.

That sort of nonsense is maddening.

They've had no problem in previous years. Madness if they've changed now

Not 100% but got the impression from the Rovers forum that they may not have been allowed to record it. Unusual for SRFCTV not to have a camera there if that wasn't the case. I might be reading too much into.

SRFCTV gave up when the RTE ban came in, didn't they?

Was it not directed by RTE?

**A face** · 13/02/2013, 10:58 PM

No, or at least i don't think it was, i thought it was the FAI laying down the law so RTE had exclusivity on footage so as not to compromise their agreement. It was never driven by RTE afaik

Ah right. Typical Irish laying down the law on behalf of people who may or may not want the law laid down, but we certainly won't go to the trouble of asking them.

DFCTV recorded the Linfield v Dundalk game @ Windsor Park back in Feb 2011(exactly 2 years ago) but they(Setanta) have never allowed them to be shown even though Setanta themselves didnt show a live game that night.Strange.

No, the SRFCTV lads still do live commentary and show their own highlights after MNS has finished on Mondays. Setanta told them no footage to be recorded or shown at a later date.

Rovers v Coleraine and quarter final draw on telly tomorrow.

COLERAINE FC has been informed that the second leg of their Setanta Sports Cup tie with Shamrock Rovers will be televised...

The Bannsiders travelled to the Tallaght Stadium, Dublin in the first round, first leg fixture and recorded a battling 1-0 victory against the League Of Ireland outfit. Winger David Scullion was the man of the moment as he notched the winning goal in first half injury time.

Setanta have now decided to televise the return leg of the fixture, thus kick-off for the Monday 18th February game will now switch to 7.30pm to facilitate the Setanta Ireland TV schedules.

Following the match the draw for the next round of the Setanta Sports Cup will take place live from the Coleraine Showgrounds.

How does this draw work does anyone know?

I realise it's seeded vs unseeded, but is it open apart from that? Or do they wait to see if there are an even number of northern and southern teams?

Yeah they wait to see if it's an even number from each league and then split them up if there is. Personally if Pats go through I want the 3 IL teams to go through as well (obviously Cliftonville wont).
