    Unlike in England, the current tv contract for NL games does not stipulate that x club should be shown a minimum x number of times. Glamour sells in this country. In the NL, Shels, Rovers, and Bohs sell; Longford, Waterford, and Drogheda don't. The live games shown on tv reflect that.

    I think your level of glamour was well fairly represented last night indeed. A shockingly dull game. The Milk cup on ITV was miles better.

    Keep On Struggling.

    TV stations won't show a game from Longford simply because of the possible embarassment of having a camera pan into the crowd, only to find a few hundred people wearing ' I shot JR' t shirts

    Hows about this. Show 20 odd live games next season everyone from Turners Cross. Would that be acceptable? Clearly it wouldn't.

    TV should show the best teams not those closest.

    We still need to address the TV revenue issue. The income should IMO be split amongst all the teams, not just 5K to the home team. At the very least both teams playing should get some contribution.
    Foot.ie's entire existence is predicated on the average idiot's inability to ignore other idiots

    Agreed, with all the bad publicity RTE are getting re TV Licences, etc. it makes more economic sense to screen a Rovers game and get their fill of footage for Crimeline at the same time.

    Hard to argue with that. at least we're gettign some coverage of the eL.
    But it would be nice if one of the tv stations actually showed some of City's European games.
