Best Paper For Eircom League

The Irish Times - for Emmet Malone if nothing else.
Who the hell makes a poll and leaves out some of the main papers in the country?!?

I'll buy you a copy of the Examiner next Saturday morning and you'll see that they cover all the action from the previous night. They always do.

If it is misinformed it is only because they don't put it up on their website, unless (usually) it's Cork-related.

We're talking about papers, not websites.
Pick up a copy of the paper on Saturday and check out the reports.

The Mirror's pull out on a Friday is excellent but during the week, the Sun is pretty good.

Take today for example. 2 full pages given over to the Eircom League. Big interview with Eamon Gregg regarding the Pat Fenlon situation. Interview with with Conor O'Grady as a preview of tonight's game as well as an overall preview of the first division games.

As well as small interviews with the PSG manager and Damian Richardson

Why are there no actual 'news' papers in the poll?

If I wanted to look at t!ts and hear bo!!ox being spouted I'd go and sit in the dail's viewing gallery rather than waste my money on any of those rags.

I started this thread, but not the poll. I endorse the general disgust towards the "news" content in the red tops; however my interest here is purely related to coverage of the eircom League, regardless of whatever tripe may inhabit the rest of the paper.

For once, Peadar's actually right. Their league coverage - especially with regards match reports of a Saturday - is excellent. Don't buy it regularly enough to know if they do any midweek efatures like Emmet Malone's Tuesday column.

I voted for the Star because at least there is some eL coverage everyday and its one of the only papers who bothers with the first division at all. It keeps the eL in the concious mind of people by having a piece day by day and therefore is an advertisement for the league.

Fair enough. I stand corrected.
I was going to say I'd buy it on Saturday just for sport, as a tester, but given the fixture that might not be a good barometer!

Saturday is the perfect day to buy it.
You can test its impartiality on the City 3-0 Bohs game and review the reports on the other fixtures.

Bought Star and Mirror this morning to compare match reports..Mirror covers Sligo/Cork game, no team listings though - and Star has reports on all 5 of last night's fixtures[even after a CL night] of which only the Lims/ Dundalk game has no team listings...can anyone top that?
