RTE announce details of TV coverage
November 18, 2004
RTE have confirmed details of their coverage of the title-deciding final night of eircom League action, with the state broadcaster sending cameras and commentators to both Richmond Park and Turners Cross as all the action unfolds in the final thrust of the 2004 season.
Anchor-man George Hamilton will present the programme, which begins at 7.00pm on Friday night, thus ensuring a half-hour of pre-match build-up and comment from pundits Roddy Collins and Alan Matthews, the managers of Shamrock Rovers and Longford Town respectively.
Darragh Maloney will be in the commentary box at Tolka Park as leaders Shelbourne take on St Patrick’s Athletic seeking the point they need to seal the title.
Meanwhile, Stephen Alkin will be keeping his eye on events at Turners Cross, where Cork City require a win against Bohemians to have any chance of sneaking into top spot.

I can't believe RTE can't find anyone better than that eejit Collins to "analyse" the game.
Even ignoring his actions of the last few weeks, he's a useless analyst.
I'm what? I'm ants at a picnic?
pity i won't be able to watch it.
its stilla far cry from the coverage rte give the prem league.
el weekly at 1130 on a monday night hardly compares to the hour at 7 on sat eve that rte gives to prem. it would b in rte's advantage to promote el more. they could get el matches a hell of a lot cheaper than prem games. should have live game every friday and a weekly review on sat around the same time as premiership

I agree completely with Brian Lennox when he says that the eL isn't ready for full time, regular coverage.
There are only 3-4 grounds from where the should consider screening a game - The Cross, Tolka, Dalymount, and The Flansiro. The rest just aren't up to scratch, though I hear Richmond is being done up as well.
If at first you don't succeed, redefine success.

At least you can laugh at Collins, but this whimpering pr*ck is about as interesting as a plank of wood....

Seen him off camera on sidelines at Dalymount & only a matter of time before the tv techies locked him a box in the wrong ground...Originally Posted by Fintan Cassidy

You're right there.Originally Posted by Gary
I actually think Richmond looks better on TV than Flancare does as they show the best part of the ground.
At most it's only those 5 grounds that look half decent on TV. The Cross looks excellent even though the cameras are facing the smaller stand.
Champions!

I know the place is a sh!thole, I've been in the dump more times than I care to remember!Originally Posted by patsh
However, I do think it looks well on TV. The stand looks very well and their small tin shed looks ok if they've got a crowd in it.
Champions!
Ya I'm toying with the idea of taping it so that if we win the league, I'll be able to see the look on his face!Originally Posted by thecorner
