Like surely people would be more interested in seeing, lets say St. Pats Vs UCD in the premier rather than, no offence meant here to anyone, Cobh and Wayside.

its about time they showed some cobh games,why always show premier games roo????

if that was the case they may as well call the show eircom premier league weekly!

we've been on once this year its about time they showed us.

So it cant just be an issue with the ground. The guy who recorded the pats/bray game is just a fan not a TV cameraman and he reckoned the quality wasnt good enough to send to tv3

I'm glad someone else has noticed, I was beginning to think it was just me! On numerous occasions this season Pats has been the ONLY premier division game not shown by EL Weekly. And not just Pats home games either. From my reckoning Pats have played 6 home games. The ones against Finn Harps, Longford and Bray weren't shown. The home game v Bohs TG4 covered and TV3 would have got the pictures from them. That means they have sent their own cameras to RIchmond Park twice this season for Pats games. To the best of my recollection they've covered Dublin City at Richmond more than that. The away game in Waterford wasn't shown either. I can't remember if the 1st game of the season in the Carlisle grounds v Bray was shown. Am I being paranoid here ? Is there any other Premier Division team that has featured so little ? (I'm open to corrrection here) Last season was a similar story too.

They don't show alot of our home games. Partly because there wasn't a tv stand at the start of the season.

But you're right. Pat's do seem to be strangely absent.

No it was'nt shown, they missed a great game that night as well, great crowd and a atmosphere, good goals as well.

My point is that they might get more viewers if they showed better quality matches, this is not a dig at Cobh (as i already stated) but IMO they would probably be more people interested in seeing a premier division match than a match between an average 1st division side and a LSL side.

exactly there doesnt seem to be any quality control in the editorial decisions

and was it my imagination or where the three panelists all talking over each other this week? where they on a most words per minute contract?

I don't think the camera for the UCD game in Richmond was TV3 either. It looked more like a camcorder type thing.

but if i no that ramblers wont be on it i'm not bothered if i miss it.

No. Whistles...........................

Back on-topic, there are several threads here "reminding" people to watch NL Weekly on TV3 every week. Shouldn't there be just one, with weekly reminders in it?

**Rory H** · 16/06/2005, 10:05 AM

no,its a different show every week

**Slash/ED** · 20/06/2005, 11:21 PM

Every player in the history of football with even remote connections to the EL gets linked to Shels, mind you, I'd love it just to see the Corkies expode with rage and bile.
