    Has anyone spotted this yet on BBC?

    It has been on a few times since the weekend, between programmes.

    That's a great wee video.

    Presents a very positive image of the club.

    Great fan shots from Paris as well.

    The odds of RTE ever doing something similar.....?

    Are you joking RTE the GAA/RUGBY TV station.Surely you know why it was buit in the deep south of Dublin 4 ,real Hoiniken/ryndabout country,and they have to show all the GAA matches cause of the culcthy politicians and parish priests.

    Well done to Derry again even if they catch Shels before the fat lady sings!!!

    You see there are benefits to coming under the governance of the British Broadcasting Corporation.

    Seriously though, the BBC are the best in the world.

    Boo hoo...the Mrs Kenny whining continues... maybe you should consider reapplying for membership of your own local league and you could have your local TV station cover your games by showing a one minute clip every Saturday afternoon instead of moaning about our National TV station to whom the residents of Derry don't pay any licence fee for the very good reason that they are residents of a foreign jurisdiction...

    'Similar' meaning for other EL clubs. Not Derry.

    Interesting to hear that you'd hate to see RTE do something similar for the EL clubs from the Republic.

    Just cuz Rovers are in the basement league, doesn't mean you should want to stop other clubs in the south from having their moment in the sun....

    In case you haven't noticed the Derry urban area spreads over the border in 3 directions and many of our fans live in the Irish Republic, with no point in Derry being more than 3 miles from the Border.

    But then again should I expect anything else from the fans of a club who brought their passports to the Brandywell a few years back?

    I'd also love to see what your "mates" from Belfast think of your enlightened attitude to geopolitics.

    Take it down from the mast.....

    Go easy on the poor lad ORA.

    Seems the Rovers fans have only recently found out about Bohemians unionist beginnings, and are now trying to out-orange them at every opportunity.

    Saw it last night and while I wasn't paying close attention, it seemed to show the club and fans in a great light.

    However, it struck me as a bit odd that the Beeb would be banging on about local coverage of local sport, given that they probably won't even be showing highlights of any of Derry's games in the League run-in. Kinda smacked of bandwagon-jumping in the aftermath of Derry's UEFA run.

    Then again, maybe I'm just too cynical.

    Hang on a second, where were the BBC before this Euro run?

    All the same its a great clip and perfectly sums up why its good to support your own.

    It shows RTE up for being the pathetic little company (masquerading as a National Broadcaster) that it is. They are so cringe worthy bad its not believable.
    The SFAI are the governing body for grassroots football in Ireland, not the FAI. Its success or the lack of is all down to them.

    I think you are completely missing the point... ie that RTE is the National TV station for the ROI funded by people living in the ROI... you are not part of that so have no right to comment IMO or complain about how they go about their business... we've already had to listen to Kenny moaning about your isolation etc after the recent game against Shels... so if you are so unhappy then as I suggest go back and play in your own local league....

    As for what Rovers currently playing in Div 1 has to with it is beyond me... but I would say when you joined the LOI you were more than happy to play in "the basement league" as you call it , you seem to of forgotten that.

    I wonder if RTE get any money from Sky, for retransmtting their channels into the North via satellite?

    Do RTE count Northern Irish viewers in their viewing figures?

    If the answer to either of the above questions is yes, then viewers in NI also partly fund RTE through subscriptions and advertising revenue.

    The fact that The Donegal Villages of Muff, Bridgend and killea have hundreds if not a few thousand Derry people now resident there, with quite a few Derry City supporters amonst them, it sort of Fcuk's your arguement out the window Jack.

    I have a house in Donegal so I have every right to whinge, now away back under that rock.
