You could never predict what other people would do with certainty but I would hope that my club would not do this

You have to be in Europe to have the problem.

Were they looking to get in for free as some sort of 'media'? If so then the club were dead right.

Why?

Most media requests, within reason, are facilitated...

Sure, the radio commentary is "some sort of media". Not a fan then?

Sligo 13/5 at home...against a struggling Molde side..tempting.

Also, I don't care if Derry are going to play Barcelona..16/1 is worth a shot with a fiver.

They'd make room.

Not overly familiar with Pat's one but personally I wouldn't class the internet commentary guys as official media and so would expect them to have to pay in like everyone else.

We're the ones struggling, Molde are in great form (haven't lost in last 9 league games), just had a slow start. With the way we're playing/injuries a draw would be great. Don't waste your money on us...or Derry for that matter.

Clearly you've never been in a Press Box, SM?

Seems a bit harsh.

There seems to be an ever increasing number of people with media passes these days, I do wonder how the league isn't better covered tbh. Maybe it's harsh but I have no problem with the club on this.

I should point out I've no problem with clubs saying no to any media they wish. Personally I'm not a fan of the internet commentaries either.

On general accreditation, it is true that some people get a media pass solely to get into games free. I don't believe this is the case with extratime though. They have tons of people writing for them so as long as they nominate the person reporting on the game, I think they should always try to be accomodated.

Even with league games, where there won't be the same pressure on space, as long as sites/papers nominate their reporters, there shouldn't be an issue

Best of luck to Sligo Rovers against Molde this evening. Big Game, big big ask but the bigger they are the harder they fall and you never know your luck in this game.
