    Irish Times Advert

    The Irish Times Advert that appears on top of the page, "Devoted to Sport" ..... is that complete hypocrisy or what?
    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 find their sport coverage very good. Emmet Malone is the best sports journalist in the broadsheets. More coverage to the eL than any other broadsheet too. Don't know what it's like for eL coverage during the week though.

    Malone is the best eL journalist. I think the eL takes a back seat in all the papers when the Internationals are on.

    I didn't, i just pigeon-holed the whole paper, supplements and all, kinda like some of the coverage eL receives. It was a sweeping generalisation on my behalf and i'm quite proud of it.

    The Irish Times sucks ...... there ..... i've said it

    I think the Times eL coverage is as good as any to be honest and as papers go, it's the best in the Country.

    What happens when you want to read actually non-sport news & not just look at pictures & celebrity gossip?

    There is not enough eL news to warrant daily coverage anyway.
