Think that ran out at the end of last season. New show is called Soccer Republic. Includes coverage of international team, champions league and airtricity league.

Still Peter Collins presenting and more focus on non LOI stuff and a worse time slot. :mad::mad:

Soccer Republic will be the place to see all the SSE Airtricity League Premier Division goals every week with the best analysis using the latest technology

dreamers75 · 26-02-2014 07:36PM

RTE has to show a CL mag, noone watched MNS.

They dont have to show LOI on it.

No, they've got a new hi-tech sofa for the lads to sit on.

Taking the Monday out of the name means they can change it to any day that suits if they feel like it.

Only really watch the goals from our own games anyway so not bothered.

What we really need is Gary Neville with a touchscreen computer drawing lines to show everyone how good the players are.

To be renamed eircom League Weekly?

It's not far off the time it was shown.

Gavin "shels" · 28-02-2014 01:45AM

Paul Osams son playing for Rovers tonight, bumped into him in the jacks in Tolka. Also Roddy made an appearance too, but left 30 mins after KO.

Shels won 3-0, against a mix of Rovers. Finn, Robinson, O'Connor, Kelly and Lyons all started. We tore them apart at times, played some excellent ball, etc...

Lovely Bloke · 28-02-2014 09:59AM

Talks between Shels, Bohs and DCC for a groundshare - Ballymun is one mooted destination.

He showed up at Dalyer mid-way through the first half and left just after half time :P

There's a couple of sites with potential in Ballymun alright.

GLaDOS · 28-02-2014 10:49AM

5-1 win for Bohs over Bray last night in the LSC. Bray were poor by all accounts, but still good to be scoring goals.

Up near Ikea really. A part of the whole "Ballymun Regeneration" thingm could work.

It's also quite near Fingal/The M1 so there is potential to try to tap into the Fingal market again.

Sporting Shelhemians anyone?

Careful now, it's a ground share not a merger.

No, and I would not support Red Bull Bohels either

looks like the B team defence, nobody in the squad involved on Monday night. They might struggle this season..

Martin O'Neill: Attending SSE Airtricity games is not a PR exercise

"Ireland manager Martin O’Neill says his attendance at League of Ireland games this season will not just be a public relations exercise and that he hopes to unearth some new talent.

Seamus Coleman and James McClean are among a number of current Ireland players who previously plied their trade in the League of Ireland and the former Celtic boss is hopeful that other players can emerge from the league."

Good to hear him talking positively about the league anyway, whether or not there's gonna be some call-ups is another thing.

Dont buy it

that he hopes to unearth some new talent.

So a player the entire footballing community missed he is going to select for international duty ......OR tell them to move to England?

Ebbs · 28-02-2014 08:45PM

Acknowledging we have a league here is a good thing. Baby steps forward rather than giant leaps backwards again.

dreamers75 · 28-02-2014 08:50PM

Sligos team from game vs Crusaders

Sligo Rovers: Rogers; Conneely, Gaynor, Henderson, Spillane; Greene, Russell (63 Maguire), O'Conor; Odhiambo (71 Ledwith) Cretaro, Cawley. Subs: Brush, Keane, McMillan, Dykes, N'do.

Pats from Mighty Ducks

St Patrick’s Ath: Gilmartin; O'Brien (c), Browne, Oman, Bermingham; Byrne, Fahey (Lynch 81), Brennan (Chambers 86), Bolger, Forrester (Kavanagh 81); Fagan
Subs Not Used: Clarke, Hoare, McCormack, Foran.

Most likley the 11s on Sunday will be full strength at some point (injury dependant) In reality does anyone see any of those players every playing for the full Irish

National Side iin the future.? Clearly im fcuking bored tonight

If everything works out for the lad i think Hoare will possibly one day.

Seems they didn't send anyone. Is there no bus from Drumcondra to Lansdowne?

CSF · 01-03-2014 02:07AM

I would have went

Gavin "shels" · 01-03-2014 05:03PM

At a guess I'd say no one was available, half the squad is in school/college and the rest work.

dreamers75 · 01-03-2014 05:39PM

Johnny Mac was there.

The "entire footballing community" doesn't know a great deal about the LOI - I would have thought that was obvious. It makes sense for O'Neill and Keane to familiarise themselves with LOI players who could potentially play for the international side some day. That way, in the event that such players move abroad and prove themselves at a higher level, they'll be drafted into the national squad more quickly than would have been the case under Trapattoni, for example.

BASHIR · 02-03-2014 03:42PM

Very first presidents cup. LOI football season opener and it's not on tv. Very disappointing for those of us that can't make the trip. Spartacus on instead ha ha
