The manager interviews are edited- there's a couple of minutes left out. You can view the full version of interviews on the MNS site.

well done to roddy for saying that, it seems that all the other guests dont have the balls to say the refs are a discrace on tv.
and why is con murphy trying to defend them?anyone know what side roddys on?
he seems to feel up the leg of the guest sitting beside him every week
i've got all the episodes saved on Sky+ so i might put a little compilation on youtube at the end of the season!
That's all very negative Boo Boy.
" I'll go right up to here,
it can't possibly hurt.
All they will find is my
beer and my shirt."
did I hear right that roddy collins is tippin rovers for the fai cup ??? are they worth an each way bet???
Gary Cronin is he the right man to manage Longford Town?
Bastid.(It only hurts cos it's true)
Out for a spell, got neglected, lay on the bench unselected.
.....
i feeling rather negative tonight...
but you must admit you'd watch the youtube video!
"What's your favourite humming noise?" Brilliant.
We're not arrogant, we're just better.
Am I the only one who feels criticising the referees is the easy part for any pundit but they're not offering any solutions? "Something needs to be done" is uttered time and time again, Roddy grunted it as if something could be done to fix it between now and next week. What could actually be done to prevent something like the missed handball? The referee either saw it or he didn't, horrendus as the mistake was.
How long will it take? they are getting away with it because people have given up knowing they'll get no where. they are dragging the league back into the 80s at an alarming rate. Its ombudsmen we should have at this stage not accessors.
The SFAI are the governing body for grassroots football in Ireland, not the FAI. Its success or the lack of is all down to them.
Ha ha .... quality, would love to see it. Loads of pink shirts too.anyone know what side roddys on?

It shouldn't have to be done though. Referees shouldn't be making mistakes as big as they are making. There getting paid to do their job so they should be doing it well but the fact of the matter is there not.
The refereeing system needs a shake-up and they should start by telling Pat Kelly fook off and hand over the reigns as Head of the Refereeing Association to someone younger and more aware of the modern day rules. They obviously need a crash course and theres no better time like the present, when everyone else is on the summer break all the officials should be sent over to Keith Hackett over at the English FA for a breakdown on the new rules. Letting the game flow is a thing of the past and it's time it was brought back.
LESS OF THE BULL NOW!
That decision cost us all 3 points in Dalymount, how does that not count as definitely effecting us?
i certianly hope so ! it's was beyond shocking ! I can only imagine what was going thru his head as he was watching it tonight
He wont be out from under the couch with shame till the next game he has to ref. And rightly so.

im so not impressed with this program,extremely frustrating show to watch. if they spent more time showing football than talking about it would be a lot better.
i know there is time constraints and that but the likes of the goal/save,(cant remember which match this was in)penalty decisions,sending offs in the rovers-cork game should have been shown more than once.
we could get more of a feel for the matches if we saw more,if i was a borderline EL supporter this show would not make me want to go watch a match.
even the small games in the premiership get more time on motd then the "big" games do on mns.
Reading through this I was going to say I couldnt believe anyone hadn't mentioned this, the greatest question is sports journalism history!"What's your favourite humming noise?" Brilliant.

Spot on both points. Very good show this week, enjoyed the Cup draw hugely too. Tony O'Donoghue did OK last week, but Murphy is excellent presenting the show, he'll be missed if he's going off to China.
As an aside, I discovered what that awful music before the games is too, or rather, it's a good tune but the clip is awfully and nonsensically ripped from the outro. Was listening to the tune in question in the car yesterday and suddenly started thinking about the football!
Slightly??!!!

And people think that 1st division highlights would damage the credibility of the league if they were on MNF...I cant stop laughing at Roddy Collins, with the combed back hair, dodgy shirt and jeans, and THOSE shoes
I'm not sure about the draw on at that time. Much better exposure when it was part of the news. Could've done it and then had interviews as part of the specialist show. It's a backward step having the draw in a niche programme when it should be gaining as much coverage as possible.
If you attack me with stupidity, I'll be forced to defend myself with sarcasm.
It's not their job to do something about it or provide solutions. That's up to the FAI, as they're the ones in a position to do something.
The problem is that not only do they seem unwilling to do anything, they take it as an affront if anyone criticise the refs (handing out ridiculous suspensions), thereby sending out the message that crap decisions like the ones we see week in, week out are acceptable and beyond criticism.
In that climate, where managers are gagged, it's up to the pundits to draw attention to it, again and again, and in stronger and stronger terms, until the FAI are shamed into taking some kind of action (they're supposed to be the experts).
Fair play to MNS for not taking the easy route and spouting harmless platitudes.
That decision could be seen as a simple mistake (albeit one so serious that if a player made it they would be immediately dropped for the following week). But both of Jamie McKenzie's yellow cards were an example of the kind of grandstanding refereeing that's far too common in this league. Far too often, refs seem determined to make a statement or make the 'big' decisions.
Someone needs to take them aside and explain, slowly, in words of not more than two syllables, that they're not there to take a starring role.
One-off mistakes, however egregious, are hard to avoid, but a lot of what's wrong could be fixed overnight by a simple change in attitude.
