Nothing to be honest. Asking someone's opinion on something that they haven't had any involvement with in over 20 years is a bit daft
That would have been fantastic. That's what the eL needs - Captain Planet & the Planeteers. I had forgotten about them...what a crap concept for a cartoon.
On now,just did a piece on how fewer irish players are making it in england.Point was made that if it continues more young lads will stay in ireland and the el will get better.
The head of recruitment from sell-thic was interviewed,he was from dublin and an absolute **** he said"I dont see how it will make the el better,I mean when you look at all brian kerrs squads,they were all lads who had gone to england and every now and again you have a token el player included"they then showed a pic of one of kerrs squads,half of the players in the pic are now in the el.It was an obvious and stupid thing to say,of course they were all in england,the point is that times are changing.He then went on to say that most players who go over to england wont make it.
A **** is all he is
If you can keep your head when all around you have lost theirs, then you probably haven't understood the seriousness of the situation.
Yeah, I was gonna text in over that. The fellow should have his passport taken off him and be kicked up the hole with a sharp boot- all the way to Glasgow. Cúnt
BTW, I dare say in the last few years that Glasgow "We pay taxes to the Queen" Celtic have provided a similar number of players to Irish underage teams to eL clubs, certainly not many more. Maybe its just bitterness?
Have to agree that celtic blokes comments were the typical unthought out comments you hear in this country all the time. The bottom line from that piece is that with less players going over each year and in turn less making it through to the big time it is even more important that we have a stronger domestic league in the future along the lines of Denmark, Norway, sweden, who's leagues supply a good few players to their national squads.
On a lighter note, much funnier show tonite, less corny gags and that monkey at croker was very funny, some more EL coverage and it will be even better.
That guy's point made no sense. It was like saying there's no point in having a second terminal at Dublin Airport because everyone goes to the present terminal.
TV3 must have been reading this site because they took on board a lot of what we've said.
"An hour is too much" - cut to 45 mins
"That mascot fighting bit is dreadful" - what was meant to be an ongoing sketch for six weeks was hurriedly cut short (praise the Lord)
"The guests shouldn't be left sitting there cringeing at the jokes" - they were only on for one section (pity because they were good guests to have, fair play to Gary Cooke for telling Moan U fans not to expect any sympathy).
I thought the show was much better last night, snappier & better-written. The Monkey bit in Croker was genuinely funny for once. It's definitely improved so now TV3 will probably move it to their favourite midnight on Monday slot to accomodate showing ITV's entire prime-time schedule (they'll have Sian Lloyd doing the English weather instead of Martin King soon).
That might not be all that bad, all things considered...
That question was less stupid, though you asked it in a profoundly stupid way.
Help me, Arthur Murphy, you're my only hope!
thought the monkey @ croker was one of the best bits!!
Another ignoramus. We didnt go "crying to the FAI". The 400 club informed them that the accounts Branvard sent in were wrong months ago. Check your history pal, we're not the oldest team.Ireland largest club…..p*ss off you boys think you own the league, you shouldve been deducted points or relegated years ago.
We (drogheda utd) had to put up a bond and had an embargo on transfers for 3 months a few years ago. You lads go crying to the fai and everyone on the fact you are the oldest team blah blah blah.
Now I have to say its great when rovers come to town and great atmosphere. I have many rovers friends and have gone to see your lot in inchecore a few times.
But I think you should be held accountable. Stop signing players and build the tallaght ground you might actually be a better club for it.
Stick closer to home and see how long you can sustain your full time status. Why should we have been relegated years ago? Could you be any more bitter? You have many Rovers friends? Why not repeat these inaccuracies to thier FACES next time?
KOH
Ok the show rocks espically this past week and not just becasue its shorter (but its only 45mins because of love island ... it will be like that next week and then thats it)!
Dermot Whelan finally looks settled as the presenter, and marvin the monkey did a great jon in taking the **** out of rule 42!
Most my friends are watching it now... love the show (P.S i have cable so i'm not stuck watching it)!
The monkey was funny, and that was it, the rest of it was as bad as always. That the bleedin monkey is the star of the show sums the whole operation up.
They're starting to show a bit more Eircom league football by the week from what I've seen of it. Here's a post from boards.ie about tomorrow's show:
Its the last show of the series but they're hoping for a second. Some fella (father_ted9t9) answers people's questions here:Hey all, final show this week, we will be showing clips from the soccer match in kilkenny, our main VT Is about the international players which play for sligo rovers. Marvin is interviewing The League of Gentlemen about soccer - is it a league of gents or thugs and the guest is richard sadlier. We also have footage of irelands games from the past week! Thanks to everyone who has watched the show, and heres hoping for a second season!

They seem to be really open to suggestion and have changed the show around because of what people have been saying on that thread.
Please god no.
the series did not last too long ffs around six weeks, however it was better than nothing.
First Division Champions
Seems to be common with Irish TV. Naked Camera was also only 6 shows.
Why do we as Irish people take the **** out of our own league so much. It's so annoying. I'm in Oz at the moment, and you wouldn't believe the way they talk up every sport. We must be the only country in the world that gets off on knocking our own
But all the ITV regions have their own Football show on a Thursday night - e.g. Granada have Scouse Soccer Night - this would be a positive development from the ITV schedules?
If you attack me with stupidity, I'll be forced to defend myself with sarcasm.
He's a member of foot.ie too!
Life without Rovers, it makes no sense...it's a heartache...nothing but a fools game. S.R.F.C.
Karl Spain was the guest last night, not Richard Sadlier (maybe he was injured or something!)
So what does everybody think I know its crap and all that but hey somebody's doin it....So will it get back on Next year or wha?
