Rangers on RTE?

**Devoted** · 12/12/2007, 10:01 AM

What do people think of RTE showing Rangers tonight?
Although United and Arsenal are both through, surely people would still rather watch either of them ahead of that crowd.

I think you've answered your own question. Man U and Arsenal are through so, other than their own fans, why would anyone want to watch those games? z-z-z-z-z.

Much more at stake at Ibrox and even if many people are up for the opposition, it will make for far more interesting viewing.

pathetic.

Its one of the few ties with any real meaning. Last time out RTE showed Barcelona v Lyon. A very welcome development IMO

They're showing a game that will have a bit of fizz to it. What's the problem?? Better than watching a Man Utd or an Arsenal team with half the stiffs playing.

**tetsujin1979** · 12/12/2007, 10:48 AM

because it's one of the few games on tonight with something at stake, and is probably going to be far more competitive than the United's reserves VS Roma and Arsenal's second string VS Steaua.
Was delighted last week to watch the Barcelona - Lyon game

as long as they get a right good pumping I won't mind to much but if they jammy feckers sneak through i'll be raging. And if I hear any sort of niceness towards them from the rte commentary team (probably trevor steven

) then it'll be over to sky one for the united game!

I think its great , i won t be watching it , id prefere if they showed the carling cup 1/4 final tonight but there you go.

**pete** · 12/12/2007, 10:55 AM

It is about time RTE showed games for Rangers supporters in Ireland.

**Stuttgart88** · 12/12/2007, 11:01 AM

I think it's the right game to show. Way more interesting than the English clubs' games. Well done RTE.

Thank God they are showing Rangers, I thought I was going to have to sit through another meaningless United tie. Good work by RTE

What Rangers fans here??

**beautifulrock** · 12/12/2007, 11:10 AM

Good work by RTE, I am looking forward to watching it. By the way is it ok to boo my own TV

**scottish_bohs** · 12/12/2007, 11:24 AM

I was surprised they were showing it, but delighted nonetheless.

Now, come on Lyon!!!

these guys too probably

I think Trevor Steven had complimented RTE coverage.He is sensible and ego free.He used to play for Rangers so naturallyhe is going to be up for them.Really could'nt care less if they qualify or not.
