LOI TV Coverage 2024

[Another Bohemia]

That's all I've seen too, nothing about Thursday games yet

Is tonight not a trial match to see what viewership figures are like & if they are good they will announce more?

If that’s the case then I’ll have consider turning off the telly

In all seriousness I’m all for the televised Thursday night game, as long as it’s not my club involved in the game and I’m sure a lot would be of a similar standpoint

Is Bohs vs Derry on 13th June on VM? It is down as a Thursday evening KO which would be very unusual if not for tv.

It’s the euros of course on the 14th June.

The RSC looked great last night on TV, some great aerial views of the stadium in the late sunlight, looked like a nice evening to watch live football!

Great promotion for the league again!

Yeah very enjoyable game to watch as well. Some terrible defending from both sides but plenty to keep people engaged. Not mad about Perth on commentary though he seemed somewhat naive in some of the things he was saying. At one point I recall him mentioning that Pierrot didn't look like a goal threat during the game but to me it seemed like Drogheda wanted him to win headers and hold the ball up rather than hang around the box? Which makes sense considering Drogheda were away from home and probably trying to right some of the issues that lead to losing v Galway by not committing too many forward. It didn't work obviously but it still seemed to be their plan

Thought the first half was a poor enough watch, but second half was much better and provided some great entertainment.

The constant referral to Charlie Adam watching was a bit of minnowism from commentary team, and also thought Perth was brutal on comms, but otherwise coverage was largely excellent.

Yeah there are 2 weeks of Thursday games due to Euros clash.

I wonder will Virgin pick up any of those games.

Bohs v Derry
Dundalk v Sligo
Galway United v Drogheda
St Pat's v Rovers (obvious TV game)
Waterford v Shels

Thursday 4th July

Drogheda v Shels
United v Bohs
Sligo v Derry
Waterford v Pat's
Rovers v Dundalk

I enjoyed having a game on a Thursday night. Who knows if it picked up many non LOI viewers but I would think supporters of LOI teams might have tuned in as not at a match or watching their own team on LOITV.

Is it just me, or is it maybe the time of year, but a lot of the pitches don’t seem to be in great nick. Tallaght and Richmond seem ok, but I thought the pitch at Waterford, and again at Dalymount last night seemed very bumpy. The ball wasn’t travelling well over the surface at all. From what I remember of Pats game there, Sligo wasn’t great either, and I know Tolka has had a lot of negative comments too.

Pats v Dundalk on monday will now be on Virgin Media, as Bohs v Rovers scheduled for Friday week is postponed.

I'm sure the VM Studio team will be completely unbiased for this one.
