Horrible stuff.

Yer man seems to be taking the p!ss of eL at any chance. Leeson is the novelty guess.

all uk soccer, granada 3

**Gareth** · 05/05/2005, 10:05 PM

Turned it on, .....waited...., turned it off.

**Slash/ED** · 05/05/2005, 10:29 PM

I missed it, glad I did now.

I've often said that Ireland needs another poorly produced second rate show about English football, TV3 might have found a real niche there

**SPXcyan** · 05/05/2005, 10:33 PM

Hey I thought it was funny enough....long may it last!!
I want to be on that penaltie shootout.....I would kick all your lil ass's I would

They mentioned the EL more in their show than RTE News bulletins do on Saturday nights when they ignore the fecking results. They will be examining the Shamrock Rovers situation next week,when who knows there might be new owners and it may well be a good news story for a change!

**Bosco** · 05/05/2005, 10:36 PM

Yeah but the e-mail and texts in gives us an oppurtunity to bombard it with texts about Irish football.Leeson wasn't great.The fact that he didnt even attend galways game against limerick didnt come across well.Atleast they havnt totally ignored the el.Maybe it would be worth it to send in that post from the shels website in to see if it gets a mention

**MariborKev** · 05/05/2005, 10:47 PM

Didn't see the programme but if they mentioned the eL then we can build on this.

Why not get some of clubs to donate pairs of tickets as a text competition prize for the show and let the fans interest dictate the content.

That mascot fighting bit

**Rochey** · 06/05/2005, 10:12 AM

I taught it was good. Its not meant to be a serious show about soccer. They do mention the eircom league a fair bit which is good. There doing the something about Bohs and Harchester united next week to having a look at Rovers. Plus the had a look at that 2-0 Ireland win against England years ago which was good for a laugh. Send in texts and they cant but help talk about the eircom league.

**Bluebeard** · 06/05/2005, 12:35 PM

I ddin't think muck of it, but it is potentially a start - more reference to the eL than an average week of RTE. Yer man presenting it is a know-nothing poorly-scripted muppet, unfortunately, starting off by saying that now the season is nearly over

I reckon he hasn't seen anything more than the trailer of Shaolin Soccer, and didn't get the joke at all.

A lot of it seemed poorly thought through. While that penalty shootout is a good idea, it does not seem of have occured to them that the special guest might just win it: they should have based it on penners scored and saved. "Do I win my own book" - priceless.

**pete** · 06/05/2005, 4:34 PM

I just thought was real poorly made, cheap laughs & looking down at the eL too much. Thye could have at least showed an eL goal or two - even some reference linking the "goals" at Tolka & Anfield would have been good. Sounded like was 10 people in the audience. Only think was remotely funny was the puppet.

Its TV3 so no one will be watching anyway - 60mins was way too long.

**corkharps** · 06/05/2005, 9:19 PM

From what I saw, they were trying to do a 'hey man soccer am' type thing crossed with fanasty football!LETS BOMBARD IT WITH TEXT MESSAGES EVERY WEEK! Spread the word on every clubs forum!

**Slash/ED** · 06/05/2005, 10:48 PM
