i know its an irish station but would it not be better to do the games in english ? does me head in at times esp that tosser that presents it before the game starts. how did he get on tv.
I see TG4 is to show four matches over the next few weeks, three of them featuring Derry City, two of those being matches against Cork.
Who schedules these, and can someone tell them that, fascinating as they may be, people in Derry don't even pay a licence?
... beginning with the visit of Derry City to Turner’s Cross on September 5th for the eircom League of Ireland Premier Division fixture between the Candystripes and Cork City.
The following weekend will see a TG4 double-bill, with two FAI Ford Cup Quarter Finals broadcast live on the channel. The cameras will be in Terryland Park for the Galway United v Bray Wanderers fixture on September 12th, with the Cork City v Derry City Quarter Final broadcast live the following evening.
Derry City will again be the focus of attention on September 19th when TG4 screen the visit of Drogheda United to the Brandywell Stadium.

I'd rather watch a 4th Derry game than Galway v Bray I think.
You're right about the presenter, hasn't a clue about football...and everyone he interviews seems to know that. Can't agree with you on the choice of language for the commentary though. It would entirely defeat the purpose.

Your man Richie is an awful eejit. Did anyone see Henderson putting him in his place last week?
Richie: "You got a late one there."
Hendo: "Well observed. Good man."
A leading authority on League of Ireland football since 2003. You're probably wrong.
Its probably part of the reparations from a big club's fans wrecking a pub in the city last year...Originally Posted by BohDiddley
In any case,
1) TG4 broadcast in the North and their advertising revenue is based on this.
2) The Cork League match was scheduled in advance and the Cup QF is the tie of the round. 2006 champions vs 2007 champions. Its the tie neutrals probably want to watch.
If my team were top of the League I'm not sure this is what I'd be worried about.
Because he has a good enough command of the language to blather on like a telly pundit does.

In this case, mine is a more global concern. It's good when one can afford to look beyond one's own interests.
Sure it is

Just think.... all those extra licence payments you might have had....if only there were less citizens with the same jackeen mentality like you about after the rising.

Sounds like the seventies again. Why don't you just let it all out and call me a Free Stater?
I suppose if you want to pay your licence fee so that RTE can spend it on EPL and on your club, then there's noting stopping you. Certainly not as onerous as staging an insurrection.
I pay for Sky with Great British Pounds, which entitles me to RTE etc, shock horror ! Looks like RTE are losing out with potential licence payments this way...maybe you should let them know !!Sounds like the seventies again. Why don't you just let it all out and call me a Free Stater?

Was only born in the 70s myself so not 100% what it 'sounded like'...i can tell you what it sounds like in Derry 08 though ?

You've already demonstrated, thanks... cant, hypocrisy, self-righteousnes and a lot of drums... hasn't changed a lot, although now we can tune in to TG4/Derry TV if we want more.
Interesting that you consider that you retain your consumer rights above those in Bray etc. in respect of our unworthy Free State television courtesy of Rupert Murdoch and, as you put it, the Great British Pound.
