I'd go one further and put a ref on the panel.

Well melees have been following him in the last few days. One at end of Drogs - Rovers game and three at Linfield - Derry game.

anybody know when MNS from tonight will be on rte.ie?

**green army** · 17/03/2008, 8:56 PM

first time to see the programme and thought it was excellent. very interesting feature on the referees. fair play to them for the time and effort that goes into it. but i will still critisise them every weekend for making the wrong decisions.

At the bohs-pats game i thought that ryan threw a punch but it was not picked up on the tv. i wouldnt have sent brennan or ryan off. joxer should have went for the shocking tackle on fats just before that incident

Why was there a mirror in the referees room?

Was it to check that their egos were still in place?

**rambler14** · 17/03/2008, 9:04 PM

It was hardly for Dave McKeown to fix his hair.

tbf - that's standard instructions pre-match - "Watch for the bloke coming 30 yards, landing a dig, then fecking off"

MSN No. 2 was superb this week.

I very much enjoyed it and would give it a 9.5 out of 10

The only gripe would be the cameras at the Brandywell and Sligo Showgrounds were not facing the main stands. RTE promised this for every match recording. It's up to officials at both clubs to make sure any TV cameras face towards the main stands.

Worked fine for me!

yeah maybe a retired one could do it or something like graham poll used to on motd2

Only saw the first half of the show and twas good, but is sorely lacking of replays in general.

When they started discussing the referee at Tolka, Foley mentioned the "debatable penalty decision" while they showed Rice's goal. Still some things to iron out that if persist could really spoil the good core.

does anyone have a copy of this week's edition recorded that they can stick onto a DVD for me?

renumeration will be forthcoming

You can add Terryland to that list too.

Area you sure of that BSG?

I'm not disagreeing with you but, if it's the case that they did promise it, I will try to get onto RTE and maybe GUFC not to let them use main stand. There was a brand new gantry built in the old stand in Terryland.

If RTE promised, I'll be damned if I see them get away with changing their minds.

Terryland looks infinately better when view from the old stand.

You can see well ove the top of the old stand as it is now.

When the camera is in the old stand it makes the new stand look quite impressive.

Sorry for the wander off-topic...

EDIT

Its unlikely I know but... BSG, can you remember where you read that RTE promised to do that? Would appreciate it if you could remember...

I would also take a copy of the MNS programme's if someone has them saved.

Does anyone know if it is possible to save the stream off the RTE site?

Have some friends overseas that for one reason or another cannot seem to be able to get the bloody thing up. I would send them the file if I knew how, or if one of yee had it taped and had it on dvd...

I remember when it was built a few Galway fans said it couldn't be used as you wouldn't be able to see the whole pitch from the new gantry.

Using firefox and real player you should get an option to download the video and save it to your real player library. Trying it now, i'll let you know how it works.

Yeah, saves it into Documents and Settings\Admin\My Documents\My Videos\RealPlayer Downloads. You should be able to zip or rar it and email it.
