There's only going to be 450 tickets available for Rovers so that should reduce the prospect of trouble between the two sets of fans. The flip side of that, of course, is historically the local guards handling of the game has always been slipshod to say the least. To be fair to the tallaght unit they're normally on the ball in terms of handling potential trouble issues, but maybe boez fans have a different view on that.
The new arrangements at Dalymount makes things much safer, almost despite the local Gardas efforts
Totally agree their pc, the store street mob haven’t a clue and seemingly little interest in olicing it properly, also agree the tallaght games are very well organised.
The fans really have to take on an amount of responsibility too though, in these times of members and st holders claiming all tickets it worries me that the trouble seekers still come out of the woodwork for this fixture and still cause mayhem.

Sorry yeah I know, didn’t read it properly
Good point , maybe his vitriol will reach peak frenzy and he’ll self combust

No One Likes Us, We Don't Care
Somewhat surprising that they chose those matches out of the fixtures those weeks.
Good call showing a match on May bank holiday Monday.
Virgin announcing they are showing a live game could have been the catalyst for this announcement and IF they were both to compete to show live games it can only be good for the game. There may not be money involved but is free advertising for the game and with so many full houses it will ad to the attraction.
So does RTE stand for Rovers Television Enterprises now ?
Out for a spell, got neglected, lay on the bench unselected.
Dundalk v Derry is the standout on April 14th. Pat's v Rovers then the week after.

A Championship: 4 years - 8 first teams - 0 financially ruined.
First Division 2014: 7 first teams and a B team.
Opportunity lost for new clubs to join GLITW.
Dundalk looks really poor on TV though, and presumably plays a part in the decision making.
Shelbourne v Derry is live on RTÉ tonight. RTÉ are ignoring Louth GAA as well due to poor camera positions. Dundalk v Rovers is the standout game today. Another reason to have LOITV than rely on a broadcaster.

I highly doubt that RTE are too concerned about how a LoI ground looks on TV! They may look at convenience eg permanent camera positions and their health and safety reports are not at all histrionical, stringent, and subjetive so could be swayed there..
Can we read anything into this move by Virgin!
Are the FAI involved in some ongoing behind the scene talks about a proper TV package for the league?
Part of the new FAI structure and changes was to look at the overall TV coverage of the domestic league games. Promotion of the games is an important structure to the games here!
Maybe to arrange a full season coverage that is not combined or dictated by the Irish International's team games.
Anyone got any insight or details, if this is coming down the line.
I guess the fixture involved has made it attractive to them to pick it up. It's actually now clashing with Leinster in the European Cup Quarter-Final on RTE so it will be interesting to see what sort of numbers it does for them.
I phoned the speaking clock to hear a voice speak, it said - "At the tone you will be very much alone"
It's all over every news bulletin they do and pretty much every advert too. Interviews with Coote and Devine today and I assume the Rovers camp over the next few days. They're definitely giving it a big push.
I noticed that myself, even during the ad breaks on some of their daytime programmes. Can’t say they aren’t putting in the effort to promote it anyway.
Great that they are televising it… only downside is that it’s going head to head with the Leinster match ( Heineken cup) that will be free to air on RTE 2…. Also a horrible clash for D4 Rovers/ Leinster fans
Hopefully the goys do the bizzo.
