TV3 Bosses : OK everybody, we've been making the Eircom League Weekly a terrible spectacle over the past two years, but this week I want everybody involved to make an extra special effort to make it look crap.

Sports Team(ST) : How about we get Trevor Welch to present the show, hes the most boring presenter in world?

TV3 : Good thinking, but Trevor on his own could not make it as shoddy as I want it.

ST : How about getting amatuer cameramen?

TV3 : Now you're talking

ST : Wow this is easy. We could get Harry McCue to do the analysis, sure nobody would understand a word he's saying with his adenoids problem.

TV3 : Brilliant

ST : I think 11.25 is too early for it to be on, we should push back the timeslot 'till a quarter to twelve, lets really make sure nobody is watching it.

TV3 : Give this man a raise

ST : I was thinking that us producers should get drunk on Monday night and see if we can still manage to show the clips in the right order as a sort of test. I'll bet you 10 euro that I won't get the order of clips mixed up.

TV3 : Ill take that bet. Lads this is all gold.

ST : Sir, I think we should tell our reporters on the ground to conduct interviews with managers in the worst places possible.

TV3 : Give me an example

ST : Well sir, instead of doing the post match interviews where the clubs have a designated area, we could do them in cheaper places.

TV3 : You mean out on the pitch

ST : We can do worse than that sir. Thats the norm anyway(laughs out loud). I'm talking backrounds with brick walls covered in moss and rooms that look like a childrens classroom.

TV3 : Excellent. We'll be rid of those cursed rights yet.

New Guy in the Corner : But sir, the ratings have been suprisingly good all along despite our efforts to make it as **** as possible.

TV3 : You're all right kid.(laughs)

Poor Harry looked very nervous, of course I said to myself when I flicked over, "whats Ian Dowie doing on Eircom league weekly..."

The time slot has me frequently missing the show , and even when I do watch it the programme is appalling , the sooner TV 3 lose out on what evert rights they have to show this programme the better , is rather watch it on TG 4 even if its in Irish .
