    I have to say the piece done on Dublin City was good. If they could do an insight like this more often it wud improve the show

    Watching tonight I thought that if they'd do features on clubs, or profiles of players or just talk to fans occasionally, the show would straight away get better.

    ....and can we quote Delaney on his belief that things should be sorted out on the pitch?

    If they even interviewed the fans before matches or picked one game each week to have as the main feature, like the championship on itv, it would help and I can't see why they don't make the show last an hour?They are always rushing to fit in important conversations and analysis of matches and osam takes up half the show talking,which I don't mind,but surely the love island highlights or whatever sh*te is on can wait another 20 mins?

    back when elw started they used to have a fans thing at the end of the show don't know why they got rid of it. scully knows his sh*t and always talks sense. feature was good. would love if there was a highlights show every week and then a programme with features like this and previews on maybe a thursday night

    Derek, I think you will find that the vast majority of el fans agree that it was a joke ye got a license in the first place. Scully is always very good and Osam was excellent tonight too for a change.
    It was a decent program tonight - if only it was that good every week. They should look at the Championship on ITV and MOTD 2 which both do excellent features involving fan interviews and club profiles

    It wasnt a bad show tonight, but there is nore than one club that is in troouble and blaming the problems on one excuse or another is not helpful, the real problem is apat from the converted nobody wants to go to games, I always find it funny when people would slag me off for such small crowds at the Dublin City games but if you have a look at all the Eircom clubs none of them have anything near what is needed to progress, I just hope it changes soon and people start ot go to the games or else its curtains of all. 1 or 2 thousand mybe even 5 thousand is not enough for the leaguse to suvive and be profitable. I know Dublin City was a pipe dream but when you look at the stadia around the country and I have been in them all they are mostly dumps with the exception of longford and kilkenny which are not perfect but almost there. ANyway that was a bit of a rant, but the point is too many scape goats and nobody with any real solutions. I give up!

    Wrote the above with a few beers onboard, hence all the typeos

    I thought Scully , should have mentioned that Dublin City players always got paid. What about Shelbourne players not getting paid or the revenue issuing a wind up notice to Cork City. Dublin City got their licence fair & square. All teams have debt. The club was wound up voluntarily after the merger with the FAI went through. Dublin City was told, that no matter how it finished on the field (are you listening Delaney ), Dublin City would not be in the premier division next year. Thought Harry made some good points. The interviewer needs to be more aggressive

    Good show last night but did anyone else pick up on what Osam said.
    When asked what is the single thing that is holding the league back and he said teams play for results(as in they care more about not losing than winning).He then said for the Cork game this week,as long as they dont concede and get some sort of result,thats what they will be playing for.
    Contradiction.

    It just goes to show what an idiot and hypocrit Delaney is.

    It was a rediculous statement alright.I was always under the impression that football was all about results as it's results that put points on the board.
