Email is old news. Twitter is your way to go these days.

When the LOI expanded and split into 2 divisions in 1985 they were called the Premier Division and the First Divison.Originally Posted by Pablo Escobar
We copied the Scottish League AFAIK
I only got watching the second show at the weekend. The 'international' version on rteplayer. Seems the lack of rights has removed all mention of epl and cl. Left with a tidy 35mins mostly devoted to loi. From what people are saying it was obviously edited to play in a more joined up way, hence few times they mentioned features before they occured.
Having seen the first episode as it aired I agree that it was a bit disjointed. However this seems like a more solid template to work with - if it could be bookended with the other guff, instead of the seemingly hapazard approach thats been in evidence.
The oddness continues, they have Alex McLeish as a guest? and talking to Jon Daly of Rangers.
Sounds like it's perfect mirror of the average Irish football fan… eclectic, bordering on schizophrenic!!
anyone know any good youtube channels for LOI highlights, goals etc. Have been in contact with a basque guy via facebook who has interest in LOI he said he can't use rte player in his location

He can download this extension for use with Chrome and he will be able to watch the RTE player.

What a joke having that zombie McLeish on, how much being wasted on him I wonder?
I doubt they paid him any more than their other guests and it's always good to have an outside eye giving their point of view. I didn't see the show, but I assume they booked him for this week because they expected Fahey to be playing for Pats on the weekend.
He did provide some great insights of the difference in match preparation for derby matches. It was riveting stuff.
Well there's the value in itself. I'll have to catch it on the player tomorrow. Did he have much to say about the matches themselves? I hope RTE sent him the footage in advance. I think it's good to see them bringing in people from outside the RTE circle.
Why have Alex Mc Leish as a guest? Why interview Brent Pope who clearly does not like football.
Why didn't Peter Collins ask Alex Mc Leish what he thought of the LOI matches he was watching. I was prepared to give Soccer Republic a chance but now after 3 episodes it's very disapointing. The coverage of LOI has been diluted in this programme for sure.
It was bizarre.
Fenlon would be asked a question on the LOI and then McLeish be asked a general question on football. There was no continuity or flow.
Nothing new there then. If they're bringing in somebody from outside, they have to give him the footage so he can contribute properly.
Better show tonight in terms of highlights/analysis time spent on LOI. Also liked it was all in the top half of the programme, which meant I didn't have to watch the rest
Much better this week but that was purely down to the fact they could show more highlights and analysis of two games rather than the one. If they could keep that up the show would be far superior going forward.
I think this hits the nail on the head really, clubs just don't want their home games televised as it ultimately costs them a lot of lost revenue for no gain at all.
Some things were better, two games got decent hightlights. However, the other games continued to be an afterthought. The barstooler part was relegated to the end of the programme, so fans could simply switch off at that point, if they wanted.
Analysis continued to be a problem, McLeish added nothing as he knows nothing of the league. Fenlon was poor and disinterested.
