    I know that home competitive games have to be made available free to air. I'm not sure about away competitive games.
    Home friendlies are only on Sky Sports, and I think I read that setanta have the rights to all away games for this qualifying series.
    All goals, yellow and red cards tweeted in real time on mastodon, BlueSky and facebook

    What's the reasoning behind having home games rather than away games as free to air when more people can see the game live if it's at home?

    the main point is that its our team not the fai's and we spend enough money through the gate, traveling to away games etc without having to pay to watch the games we cant get to!!
    the match should be on one of the free to view national broadcasters.... even tv3

    At the end of the day the FAI do need to make money too and the money from the tv deals goes back into the game
    Its really not that complicated!!!

    Im sure the financial info is out there for anyone that wants to look it up. Revenue has to come from somewhere and I believe that the FAI are entitled to get the best deal they possibly can for the games

    Because the Irish government have legislation forcing the FAI to sell the rights to games to a free to air broadcaster. For away games the rights to the game are not owned by the FAI so the government cannot enforce this legislation for away games

    The apostrophe's presence in the above is erroneous.

    Can't the FAI do anything write? John Delaney must go.

    It'd be like someone calling you "Razor's left peg", when your name is actually "Razors left peg".

    That's a grave grammatical error. It's lazy. It's unacceptable. You wouldn't be happy. I'm not happy. No one's happy. Except of course for the lazy lackeys in the FAI press office who can knock off early because they aren't bothered doing their job properly.

    Hey, it was an ironic pun! The fact that my point concerned a grammatical issue I thought it was particularly appropriate.

    Oh and I don't think I'm being harsh either. If I had my way they'd be the horses, with elephants the jockeys, in my wonderland's version of horseracing.



    (e-mail will be sent to the FAI warning them of such a scenario unless things are set right)

    20 Premiership goals would be an unbelievable return for him I think so your money is safe but that does not mean he will not be a success.

    He scored 13 last season and a good few of those were penalties.

    In fact he was so bad that he was dropped by Ramo.

    The stats show that when Robbie Keane plays for Spurs their average performance drops ie they win less games with Robbie playing than without him. (and thats saying a lot). Its the same for ireland I presume.

    If you watch Robbie play you can see that hes poor. He may score against Sunderland as he has a good record against Sunderland but don't bank on it.

    As bad as he is Darly Murphy is Ireland's best striker
