I think it is improving over time and I watch it regularly.

It is nowhere near as infuriating as the moron on TG4. Shamrock rovers were playing Sligo the other week. After the game they were doing interviews with the managers.

As the Paul Cook approached, the gimp who was going to attempt to interview him suddenly started off going "Calm down, calm down" Harry Enfield style.

If TV3 improved the panel, better speakers on the topic I mean and spent a little bit more time covering the game then it would be a good as possible considering the time slot.

Robertson was right, as was Richardson a few weeks back, its about time someone stood up to the bias refs show towards teams playing in Dublin. Kelly's an idiot as all the others, he sent McCafferty off with a straight red against Pats a few weeks back and now Hargan against Rovers. But they won't produce a red if a similar challenge is made by the Home team.

did you notice the sarcastic way they mentioned about people complaining about them being dublin biased. they metioned it a few times as if to say, there are you happy now, now shut up complaining..........
Its the impression i got anyway.

with some pundits that actually have a bit of a personality, are willing to actually talk about the league and know what they are talking about.

i'm sure it couldn't be that hard to find someone like that.

Yes, it's long overdue - nobody from a provincial team has ever complained about this before now. It's the non-Dublin refs like Kelly that are the worst offenders - they only do it to try and impress their superiors from the capital.

oh no tv3 might see that comment and bring him back just to **** off the majority of foot.ie

Scully was a million miles better than Osam, until he was gagged by the Merrion Sq Stasi.

I dont know how anyone thinks this programme is getting better. A bunch of transition year students with nothing but a laptop and a few mobile phones could put together a better effort.

It's scripted, edited and produced by people who are either completely incompetent or completely disinterested. This is strange because Trevor Welch seems to be a genuine Cork City fan.

Would anyone even notice if Osam was not there.
TV3 could save a few quid by just replaying Paul Osams comments from any episode.
"Ah yeah, they did well. Cant see them been relagated. Will be there or there abouts."
Or maybe they do

Is that Richie guy the fella that does the pitchside interviews? If it is as a fluent Irish speaker I agree he is absolutely useless. Doesn't seem to have a clue about what's going on.
