Roddy on Off the Ball (Newstalk) last week

[DmanDmythDledge]

Listened to Newstalk last night and they started the EL preview by reading an email from someone giving out about the negative coverage in Independent Group newspapers of the minor incidents before the pats linfield game.

Don't forget McDevitt spending the first five minutes asking Roddy about Livingston. Hardly any talk about actual football, as usual.

Just shows that by getting contacting the programme during the week fans can "set the agenda" if you like.

Daniel McDonnell sounded pretty apologetic about the whole but said he didn't have the final word on what went in the paper and the photos of the blood covered fan were too much of an attraction to be left out. Pretty honest of him overrall.

That moved on to a discussion on an AIL in which O'Donnell said that the most important thing was to get it right from the start especially from a security and stadium development point of view. He said it would be better to take time and get the setup right from day 1.
AIL more or less inevitable but more in the medium term.

The actions of LoI fans from here and individual message boards (we've just had a successful campaign to bring back DCFC match reports in the Northern edition of the Mirror, and are pressurising local MLA's on the stadium issue) are really getting some results these days. It's a great credit to the passionate fans of our league, including most people on here, and aided by Con Murphy and co at MLS. Heartening to know that you can get stuff done by whinging long and hard enough.

Hmmm...maybe not or Cork would be challenging for their eighth league title in a row.

And we'd be a shoe in for the champions league.

And Dermot Keely would be manager of Ireland !

Had forgotten about it actually.
Great that they used a good portion of the EL preview to find out about the latest happenings as Roddy & Co. try to find someone to give him a job

I always love the way Newstalk talk about the LOI for 10 minutes & then have The Football Show after the news bulletin.
