    Thumbs up Preview Mag in the Star Today

    I've only glanced through it so far but definitely better than the PFAI version in the the Mirror last week.

    Stars Magazine has very tabloid feel to it - loads of pictures, less text but good effort nonetheless.

    Far better than the Mirrors effort I reckon, I thought it was quality.

    There seem to be alot of mistakes scattered through it, a glaring one for Cork City is Website: None .... a site that has won national awards and has an email address just above it info@corkcityfc.ie

    I did like all the Boss Watch bits and thought the From the Terraces bit for City was good but sadly the only club to have that. Reads like a tabloid alright but have to say it is getting better.
    The SFAI are the governing body for grassroots football in Ireland, not the FAI. Its success or the lack of is all down to them.

    Well I thought it was good. Apart from the obvious 'Cork City have no website' bit it was informative and for supporters like me who have no knowledge whatsoever of the geography of Ireland, as I've only lived here for a year, it was spot on. Is that controversial?

    Saying anything positive about anything is controversal in EL circles tbf

    No I completley agree, okay the website thing was an error but ffs it's only a fairly small one.

    I see some chancer on e-bay is trying to sell the Daily Mirror Eircom League magazine - starting price of £2.99 or something from memory !

    No mention of the fact that it was free with a newspaper. Gyppo....

    Will be interesting to see if any idiot forks out for it..

    I thought it wasn't as good as last year's effort from The Star, just generally seemed a bit bland, stating the obvious in most previews.
    Upwards to the vanguard where the pressure is too high.

    Er, I have "that" site in my faves anyway! It's designed soooooo well, very informative. Carlsberg don't do websites....

    Seconded.

    Just talking about Limerick, they gave the wrong ground, the wrong phone number, the wrong sponsor, the wrong crest... and managed to write the whole piece without naming any of the Limerick team (bar the two boys seemingly picked at random in the 'One to Watch' section.

    Does anybody have a spare copy of the Mirror's effort cos I missed that one?
    The ball is round and has many surprises.
