That is not the point at all.

For Daniel McDonnell to highlight the team who are in 6th place and 14 points behind the league leaders as being one of two winners from the weekends results is bizarre in the extreme.

Daniel McDonnell is a Dundalk fan who goes to Bohs games. Safe to say he has no Shamrock Rovers bias. He's calling it as it is, which is that Rovers and Pats, along with Derry, are still the only credible contenders for Sligo's crown. Which absolutely nobody would disagree with.

That might change inexorably if Pats win on Tuesday.

Drogs beat Limerick 1-0. Gamble sent off.

Lately it's been all over the place. Disappointing altogether for a website that has always been seemingly above all the rest for LOI coverage.

It's been very sub standard this season so far.

The old answer is the best one imo.If you don't like it run your own.very easy to do it these days.

I know what you mean but you're only making excuses for half-arsedness

**NeverFeltBetter** · 14/05/2013, 9:32 PM

I'd just roll out the standard "Considering the budget they operate on..." argument. Still miles above everyone, even RTE, on LOI coverage.

Considering none of their writers (as far as I know) get paid and I doubt the owners make much from the advertising, it looks very full-arsed to me. You're not going to get fully-professional content when you're drawing from students and passionate fans as writers. As it stands, they provide a great service to the football community which wouldn't be replicated were they not there.

Still waiting on that one elusive Galway Utd result.It will still be wrong no matter how long ya wait,

Thar she beee

Extratime don't pay their writers themselves, but I know the lads who write the Harps stuff are professional reporters from local newspapers. The same reports appear online as do in the local papers.

I don't think anyone is knocking the work done by Extratime. They do a superb service that isn't rivalled anywhere, but this season it's just been of a much poorer standard than we've been used to in recent years. A few clubs haven't given any reports whatsoever.

Do you mean reports or reporters?

Reports. I've gone searching for reports on matches a few times only to find nothing there, or only appearing a week or two later.

Not a great game in Richmond last night. Rovers came for a draw and got it, Barry Murphy was even warned for time wasting...in the first half. I found it odd that they set up for a draw as it doesn't really help them at all.

We were the better side and created most of the chances but Rovers could have nicked it in the end as Kilduff missed a sitter.

Good weekend for us with Derry losing and Sligo not winning in Bray.
