What odds on the TV game being the same?

Got to be harps-derry! Packed house with loads of fans singing their hearts out, the colour, and for it just being the game that it is!

I think it might be worth pointing out that the Harps vs Derry game may not have been shown because it is on Saturday, not Friday.

It was only moved to Saturday night after it was announced it wouldnt be shown live, and Finn Harps stated this when moving it to saturday.

So no its not worth pointing out

After watching a nearly empty, DULL RSC tonight, can there be any question?
Finn Park might be a kip, but Jebus it'll be rockin' tomorrow night!

I think it might be worth checking out your fact before you post

As it turned out, Waterford V Sligo was a bad advertisement for the standard of football in the eircom League.

What was the attendance by the way? That also looked awful on TV.

Big mistake by TnaG. Even if it is a bore scoreless draw in a Finn Park tonight in front of 5000+ fans, it would have much better than that tripe last night.

Well quoted match was dire, the attendance was dire, and the ground looked dire

They should have stuck to thier original decision and showed the game in Bray. Decent crowd. Cracking atmosphere. Good football and a dramatic 94rh minute winner for a ten man Pats team

Nah, anything but Pats.

I think 620 was mentioned in commentary.

That's what's posted on the attendances thread too.

The FAI/Noel Mooney should be working directly with the TV channels in choosing which games to screen.

If you hadn't a clue about our league, you'd pick an all-premier fixture like Waterford v Sligo to show in the cup. If you'd even the vaguest notion of the EL, you'd have picked the Harps-Derry fixture. That's the problem with having disinterested channels who knock feck-all.

It's clear that the channels don't know what they're doing and need a hand. Making a bad choice of live game has the potential to do more harm to the league's image and reputation than the amount of good most of Noel Mooney's work can do in a season......
