Suggest something there for us so .... what would you liked to have on it? Seriously, throw out and idea there and we'll see what we think.

First Div fans might be a bit biased here as well to be honest.

Enjoyed it to say the least. As others have said, replaying highlights and team-lists etc need to be sorted but other than that it was quite good.
I don't think that anybody with even a passing interest in soccer would switch it off or comdemn it as rubbish. Con Murphy was far better than I thought he would be as well, thought he kept it moving along nicely.

I agree...It works well with english premier league footballers, but who wants to know what car Ryan Guy drives...especially if its a 1994 Honda Civic..

Good production. Really professional and a lot of attention to detail. Its a pity it clashes with Live Setanta football and also the primetime soaps.

Its a copycat of BBC's Match of the Day but probably better. I think they could look at behind the scenes too, like the commericial aspect.

9/10

**Boh_So_Good** · 10/03/2008, 9:53 PM

The show was very good indeed. They looked a bit edgy at the start, but that's OK as it was a first night gig.

I would give it 8/10 - but it most certainly has the elements to make it 10/10 in time. The show should improve and they are willing to listen to fans and this should be great.

Well done FAI/RTE.

How about they dance the huchy cuchy whilst debating the merits of socialism in Spain?

It's not our job to think of something new for a sports programme, it is theirs. Anyway I stand by saying that it's a good show for Premier league of ireland supporters, barstoolers will think the actual match highlights look rubbish, especially when played in front of car parks, empty stadiums and hills, and won't be impressed in the slightest. From a First Division perspective I couldn't give two hoots about it. I'll tune in in future if I have nothing better to do, that's about it

no i still need more sleep, just been informed he's their assistant, how would he manage to get a team going....worst teamtalks ever

**cornerflag** · 10/03/2008, 10:08 PM

I thought it was a good show tonight. I hope that they are viewing the first show as a 'pilot' of a beta version so they will have the chance to iron out a few issues such as the lack of team selections and post game replays. All in all its very promising. I made 2 mates of mine watch it tonight who have absolutely no interest in the ELOI. Apart from them enjoying the show, they were amazed to see some of the quality that was on show in the highlights. That in turn had them switching over to Setanta to watch the Derry game. I see that as a success

**feo123** · 10/03/2008, 10:12 PM

anyone know what next weeks feature is?
just one thing i heard, they kept saying harps was the longest trips for cobh when its obviously derry. and the rossiter thing, apart from that they should be happy with the show

**eamo1** · 10/03/2008, 10:17 PM

If there was a champions league for football shows id say it would just get past the group stages which is still very decent.

.
ill email them tomorrow,alot of us here should email them.
wasnt it Con who use to present The Soccer Show on a saturday afternoon years ago??that was a good show too.

Give it a rest will you. Its more likely than anything in the past and is excellent for sponsors etc

Yes, sorry for not masturbating throughout the show tonight and coming on here to tell the tale, apologies to one and all

I stand by my comments, the show will only confirm to barstoolers what they previously thought, the standard isn't great, the matches are played in front of empty stands (or no stands at all) and that not much has changed in the Eircom League in the past few years. As I said, good effort by RTE, could do with more camera angles and First Division highlights, but for the viewing figures they are likely to get they put a lot into it

**Rob_the_cat** · 10/03/2008, 10:34 PM

Cant understand the negative reaction.Taking MOTD2 and Football Focus as a starting base, 1 hour prime time, production values kicked the arse off elweakly with its blue backdrop and Oso. Im a nerd and a trivia nut(cant be alone here), so I loved the 60 sec bit. Apart from the scary bird. I have a lot of time for Ryan Guy after that, 94 Honda Civic! Cant wait for future instalments: what shampoo does Jason Gavin use, whats Chris Turner's favourite position etc. Just one critique - less Roddy more Rico!

But the point I was making is that why are you consistently saying its won't attract anyone new?

Has anybody who posted actually said it would? No, we all hope it might.

Why are you so negatoive about it? Why not just say "decent show, could do with blah, blhah" rather than already giving up on the league....
