So on one hand you are wondering if RTE know anything about Cobh and question the coverage they gave you, while on the other hand when RTE want to show you possibly winning your first ever senior title you tell them to **** off.

I'm afraid, you can't have it every way.

Roy Keane, Stephen Ireland, Stephen O'Halloran, how about ye?

I'm sure we'll be hearing no more complaints about lack of RTE coverage from Cobh then, seeing as they turned down the chance to be on TV...

In fairness - the original comment was about Cobh Ramblers and came from me.

The 'jibe', about Cobh (if it was one) came afterwards from Bluebeard.

Anyways - just like Ramlers, City have had one senior player become a senior international in the 22 years since we both joined the League. In our case, Liam Coyle for the North.

Coincidentally - Coyle's debut for City saw him score a hat-trick against Cobh, and his international debut was in the year that Keane first started playing for Ramblers (1989).

RTE has taken loads of stick on this thread. For me it's not merited. The errortel thread is a great laugh and a great record of how often they get it wrong, but, in fairness, they get it right loads of the time.

Examples:

*EL column on Aertel
*Opportunity for young supporters to cover an EL game and post it to the RTE website.
*Parity of esteem for the El on Aertels Soccer pages
*Friday night football & Brian de Salvo (the only decent competition for Newstalk there is - and that's only for one night of the week, during the season)

For years they did a good highlights package on a Sunday night and now thanks to TG4 (supposedly independent of RTE, but do you really believe that?) as well as RTE 2 TV, they provide fairly decent coverage of live football. I'm hearing all sorts of rumours about what Setanta might be planning, but I think the criticism of RTEs coverage is OTT. They have a public service remit & they fulfil it very well IMO & No I'm not emplyed by them.

I'd like to see Tony O'Donoghue wield less power and influence and see someone other than Roddy Collins & Pat Morley in their roles, but hey, you can't have everything.

I didnt complain about no rams coverage BTW, i complained before that the harps cobh match wasnt on, because it such a big match, tbf, any other rams match bar dundalk shouldnt be on ahead of premier games, as for next year........

Possibly, even though if were promoted or ye, we'll have no reason to complain because we'll be on EL weekly, weekly unles they leave us out, which wouldnt be too much of a surprise.

Come to think of it, this almost certainly merits a points deduction.

ya it is pretty unique when ya think about it. rams is just a convenient abbreviation. sure derby county are called the rams.

Keane was at Cobh for one season 20 years ago. I doubt half the people in RTE know Keane was ever at Forest, let alone Ramblers......

stephen ireland is from cobh, one of the most skilfull players this country has produced. and not to forget halloran for villa who is one the best players for ireland u21s, judging from the games i saw anyway.

our town did produce these players (obviously roy only played for cobh, but still), i dont know why you would want to say otherwise??? derry are a big club, do u really need to diminish these players connection with cobh and our club to make urself feel beeter about your mid-taable finish.

Is there even a gantry in Colmans if RTE did want to film your games?????

**Mr A** · 07/11/2007, 9:34 AM

I reckon that in light of Cobh's refusal to appear on TV the thread title should be changed to "Do Rams have something against RTE?"
