This soccer republic show is yet another slap in the face and insult to football fans up and down this coutry from this state broadcaster and its egg chasing lover head of sport ryle nugent. We have lost the premiership highlights, MNS is no gone replaced by a show on at 11pm on a monday night. We have no coverage whatsoever of our U21 teams, our local teams in europe. Contrast this with the coverage that egg chasing gets, all the seniors teams games, even there reserves and U21 teams, the womens team, we also have huge coverage of their league. The discussuion programme against the head is broadcast early evening contrast that with this new football show at 11pm. The total bias shown to rugby is a disgrace from a so called national braodcaster and every football fans up and down the country should make their viewe on this matter to RTE. |

I want to like it but here are my views. 1. sh*te time. 2. sh*te name. 3. Free Kick King is a load of wank. Absolute rubbish. 4. Enjoyed the Keith Fahy segment. Alan Cawley is very good. 5. The Jimmy Magee XI. The clip of the goalkeeper,Alan O'Neill,was a clip of him having a kick out blocked  I like Jimmy Magee but maybe a representative from a clubs supporters club could have done the segment instead? Just an idea.6. Talking about the Champions League is a complete waste of time. We get enough of that from other programmes. With all due respect to Tony Mc I don't give a f**k what he thinks about Barcelona. 7. Hopefully the likes of McGrath,Cunningham,Kilbane are on the show regularly. Will bring a certain profile to it that the old MNS pundits can't really bring. 8. Hopefully they address the disgraceful referring week in week out this season. Every tackle is a yellow card. It's ruining games. The 2nd yellows for the Cork and Limerick players were horrendous decisions. 9. More highlights and talk time for the smaller clubs. ------------- Theres only one sport that matters.. |

This is stragetically a good thing. The generic 'best fans in the world' will be watching this show, as will the barstoolers. So a whole new audience gets to see LoI highlights. But that makes sense, stick to whinging about the RTE illuminati being out to destroy the league

I thought it wasn't a bad effort, but the free kick idea didn't work and the ability or inability of Rovers players to go close made it worse. I doubt Boy Z that we'll see refereeing issues getting a proper airing. Thoroughly agree that some of the red cards dished out were the usual awful calls, but the FAI will probably have briefed SocceRepublic to just give refereeing lip service without giving it the debate it deserves. Agree also totally that the CL segment is completely irrelevant, if it's a show about L of I/Irish international issues, well fook the CL, that gets Live coverage Wednesday nights, we do get enough of it. But overall, I thought it was an improvement in terms of presentation on MNS that had become completely stale and boring and I think SocceRepublic can and will get better. The dominance of Rovers in the show was deadly however. ------------- We'll never die, we'll never die, we'll keep the Green Flag flying high......Shamrock Rovers will never die, we'll keep the Green Flag Flying high. 19 Leagues and 25 Cups..... |

I work with TV ratings and I can tell you definitively that Against The Head got better viewing figures in 2013 than MNS. That's comparing the average viewing to both across the whole year. Having said that, there were a lot more MNS shows than Against The Head. I'm not going to post the numbers because I don't work for RTE and the info could be considered commercially sensitive.

Watched it this afternoon. It was just as bad as MNS but it is our only source of LOI coverage so beggars can't be choosers. I don't like to see non LOI stuff in the show but I understand the producers want to get non football fans to watch. To achieve this thye must be seduced by some ex-Internationals and some foreign coverage of UCL etc. It is something that we will have to get used to but if it is a means to an end and we get a regular show to highlight the league. On the plus side it is no TV3 LOI show. Paul Osman, Trevor Welch and Pat Scully after midnight was way too much and before the days of sky plus. Anyway, scrap that free kick wank that celeb six thing is also a terrible idea. We have 33 match nights but as a country do we even have 33 celebrities? Also get McDonnell away from that gadget yoke, he is like a special needs Gary Neville trying to work it. Also, Jimmy McGee but a sock in it, or I'll put my cock in it. Good show

It seems RTE have blocked this for us viewers in the UK now, its not available on the rte player either so I cant judge how good or bad the new show is. Presumably there will be some excuse about not having the rights for the UK. This wasn't a problem last year with MNS which was available on the rte player. I haven't seen any announcement of any new tv deal, so why has this changed? Don't suppose anyone can upload the show to youtube, otherwise I'm not gonna see much coverage of any games this year.

Rubbish, people were not conned. Anyone who knows anything about football knew it'd be a reserve side.

Sadlier in my opinion made far more measured and well thought out points than Keely's ranting and Stewie Byrne bringing in the egg-chasing was nonsensical. L of I fans need to cop on and stop blaming non-L of I fans for the League's ills and many LOI fans remind me of many Gaeilgeoirs who somehow consider you less Irish if you're not fluent in Gaeilge.

someone said on here a few weeks back that if you are to try convince people go to loi games the best thing is to leave liverpool/united whoever they support completely out of the conversation. for me that was spot on, i started going to limerick games last year simply for something to do and quickly realised the standard of football isnt too bad, the love of the club quickly follows the habit of going to games. fwiw i'm one of these liverpool fans who was conned into buying a ticket for a friendly, by the club telling us anyone going to the world cup wouldnt feature and anyone carrying injuries wouldnt either, that kind of 'conned'
