New TV Deal

[Another Bohemia]

I don't have a problem with women presenting or analysing as long as they contribute positively. There is a female presenter on sky who asks probing questions of the analysts and she contributes to the programme, there one on another channel who is dreadful and does not contribute so I don't watch it. There was a female commentator on LOI TV Sligo games and she was quite good and one or two who commentate on LOI women's games are also good. There are several male commentators on LOI TV who are terrible and should not be part of the show either. If Mr negative Kerr is on I hit the mute button as I can't stand his negativity.
Let's see what we get.

The point is though that you wouldn't call Kerr the token negative analyst or token old fart.

I think your "token women" comment is unnecessary. If people take that view into watching coverage then they're going to find something wrong with a female contributor's analysis. The men on a panel don't start at a disadvantage of having to prove they are not tokenistic.

Rachael Graham on RTE is very good I think

There is one on RTE who is good I can't remember her name so it could be the same person. I'm not against women presenting as long as they know what they are talking about and the same for male presenters also. I vote with my finger (change the channel) or if there isn't another channel I hit the mute button, as I do when Kerr or Hamen are on. There is nothing worse the having to listen to people talking nonsense and getting paid for it.

Do we know if/where the presidents cup will be televised? Looks for now at least that'll be on LOITV only. Was this the same the past couple of years? I recall watching it but since I only ever watch online I can't remember if it was televised or not.

[total hoofball]

Presidents Cup for the past few seasons was on LOITV only, maybe outside chance with the new Virgin Media deal they may televise it to launch their coverage but I'd say unlikely even as Shels fans I'm not particularly interested in this Drogheda game I can't see TV companies either

[Burnsie]

presumably Virgin will show the Dublin derby at the Aviva. but I wonder would they also show Shels v Derry on the Friday (would would seem to be the ideal way to start the coverage), or does one match per week mean one match per week

[Dermobohs]

I would’ve thought they’d start with last seasons champions first game, no?

My LOI TV works on my computer but won't open on my phone app . Anyone else having difficulty with the app.? Mine is on Android and installed from the Google playstore

Can you cast to your TV from it ? That was my main complaint with the old LOI TV . I have an IPAD but I couldn’t cast to my TV from the LOI website.

I downloaded the IOS version and I see the option to cast when you stream a match.

When I use the app it says "unexpected error please try later", it's been saying that for five days. I've just tried the computer and it's similar "error redirecting please try again" . Anyone any thoughts?

Any news or links that the FAI have agreed a 3 - year TV deal with Virgin, while talks on the FAI Cup & European games are still up for discussion! ?

The iPhone app wont accept my password.

[Dermobohs]

That happened with me too.can only get on it by going online not the app.

[Shearer]

I believe you have to make a new LOITV account, maybe it was just me.

Was able to use same email.

I set up a new account and it didn't work. I emailed them and they got back to me. You must purchase before it will work. As I live over seas I only buy single match access. I will have to wait a few weeks to see if it works

[2 Year Contract]

That's the best news for LOI football in Ireland in a long while. Well done to the FAI for getting this deal done.

Although good to see, I will again ask the question on financials. Yes its great to see and looks very professional, but are the clubs actually going to be paid for this?

If not its still good to see the deal and clubs will still get their 'product' showcased, sponsors will be happy, but still think its a free broadcasting deal to Virgin unless they compensate clubs properly like most other euro leagues of similar size. I think I remember reading one of the leagues in Estonia / Latvia / Lithuania have a TV deal and clubs getting semi decent money.
