Does the BBC pay for the rights?

Does the BBC pay for the rights?

I've never seen the figure they pay the IFA and what clubs get out of it but I do know David Healy was in the paper last season saying clubs are getting ripped off with the deal, so I'd imagine it's **** all money

In fairness to the BBC, They show at least one game from the NIFL each week on their iplayer and online. Some weeks they show more than the 1 game too.
They had a highlights show each week on BBC2 last season (havnt seen it this season but assume they still do)

I havent heard word of a highlights show on BBC2 at all ? pity as I didnt know it was on last season as I follow the NI league closely!

I remember the online one but that might have been the season before last. Did not even realise there was a show on BBC2.

I see RTE are looking to broadcast a Rovers league game live. I wonder will they let them in OR stick to their guns. After the rovers statement I'm sure RTE said let's call their bluff and let's do it real soon.

I can imagine the reaction of Rovers' sponsors if they turned down live TV coverage....

I'm sure the top cats in RTE were in stitches laughing when they made the call to show Rovers game. You can imagine a voice over for a haribo advert. They'll not give a flying f@#k. If rovers say, no RTE will show someone else Or just say to the moaners of this world "you say we don't show enough live games but now you won't let us in to show them"

Just heard on the Newstalk news bulletin that Rovers are considering their position after the announcement of the fixtures to he televised.

Unless I'm mistaken , Rovers would contravene the FAI participation agreement if they don't allow RTE in, so it will be interesting to see what happens.
My guess is that the game will be shown live with no interviews/input from the Rovers management/squad

If the FAI say it has to be televised..... It's OK rovers fans..... You can appeal it.

I’d love and respect if you stuck to your guns. We are all rivals but that shower are the real enemy.

If we don't allow them in the fai have let us know that the penelty will be a 6 point deduction .....for Shels and Derry.

FAI and RTÉ know they have you over a barrel here, if you refuse the FAI will impose a penalty, and they are mightily ****ed off about the appeals now too so you can count on that being a points deduction. No choice here at all they’ll **** up your late run for Europe and that’s a very high price.

Meant to post here a few days back but the BBC had a superb documentary during the week called the Glentoran story giving the season to season runnings since COVID. Did anyone see it? Thought it was superb as it showed stuff that you normally wouldnt see ie fans giving out about their mgr on the terraces. If only our clubs would have the foresight to do this as I would think it would be a huge seller!

[Buckett]

Roddy had one with Monaghan, turned out well.

[brendy_éire]

Wasn't a bad documentary, though it was a little bit twee in parts, cringey in others. The Paddy McClean part felt over the top, almost like it was trying too hard to gloss over some of the sectarianism that exists at the club.
Otherwise though, enjoyed the behind the scenes footage, especially with McDermott.
You'd imagine it could have been a multi-episode series, mind. Could do the same for many clubs, I'm sure.

Had completeley forgotten about that. Wot season was that?
