Trap must have had a few pints with the Drogheda Town lads, he got fairly excited when he pulled out their number!

Bit odd they didn't show Stewie Byrne gifting Bray their first goal (they cut in after this). 60 Second thing is cringe-inducing, but overall they're doing a really good job. I like Con Murphy and Tony O'Donoghue a lot. Surprised we haven't yet seen Mick O'Brien pulling down the crossbar at the 1974 Cup Semi final for their Archive thing. The Big Match showed that at the time, to howls of laughter from Brian Moore.

Everyone makes mistakes but the referee in City-Sligo game made so many it would have been better if he had not turned up. He should be sent off the the 1st division for a month as punishment.

I thought Trapattoni was brilliant at the draw. Really knows how to work a crowd & no doubt he has some charm.

I know they were rushed for time this week but quality of RTE highlights dropping down to TV3 standards. I don't know if this is an MNS thing on its own as it is the same for the EPL - BBC highlights much better than RTE. I think RTE have added so much junk like 60 to the show that not much time left for football. Maybe they would be better off discussing one match in detail every week instead of spreading themselves too thin trying to talk about all games.

We get little coverage as it is. It'd be even less for the clubs that get pinched if MNS start doing that. Already, the First Div is missing out on coverage and to go back to the TV3 days of giving some games special treatment is wrong.

I didn't say that.

The Bohs non-peno effected one game for us. If Foran had been sent off it would've effected three games. Therefore it's a more serious mistake.

**Sheridan** · 13/05/2008, 12:14 PM

As bad as it looked, I'd be less pushed about the Foran incident than Hanney's debacle; there were a lot of bodies around the ball and he could easily have been unsighted.

Collins does this every week when (as usual) forgets a name, even done same on a fellow 'pundit' forgetting his name in a live game last year, its as if its makes him think quicker, or maybe he`s also going to the same bars as Hendo ??

ps if that bray defender with his 'statue of liberty' impression ever makes it on soccer am, we are finished, would be laughing stock of the football world. without doubt the worst decision i have ever seen.

**Fivesilver** · 13/05/2008, 9:17 PM

I know it's unlikely that it was for any other reason, but can anyone confirm that it was definitely the ref who decided that Sligo Rovers had to change from red shorts to white at half-time?
Because if he did, Hanney really needs to be sent to ref Subbuteo or something for a while.

**A face** · 14/05/2008, 12:04 AM

People, if you think the standard of the highlights are dropping then tell them -> mns@rte.ie ..... even if you have never considered it before, email them, let them know. Suggest what you'd like to see.

It'll take five minutes. Open a new mail and tell them.

Why did they have to change? Its seems mad. Is it substituting good referring for 'officiating' or what. How can red and green clash? Was it the colours in the first half impaired his judgement when Jamie McKenzie got the first yellow. Sorry now but the colour of the shorts could never hide the fact the ref completely messed it up.

A bit OTT to be honest.

There was one show where he was being interviewed and he had the shirt open and all, looked like a porn star or something.

As for Roddys dress ense

What a legend, only in Ireland.
The man everyone loves to hate.
He reminds me of a fella who always stops me on the way home trying to sell me second hand car batterys or a carpet.
