Handy thread for chat not specific to a club etc. Just after seeing Harps go ahead there and has to be said, the quality of goal in both divisions in the first few weeks has been outrageous. Some unbelievable strikes. ------------- They finally did it man... They killed my f**kin' car... |

It’s watchLOI. There’s been a different issue with every Bohs game so far, it’s bad enough watching them being sh*te but RTE don’t seem to give a f**k about it. They’ll complain about sign up numbers soon, after going at completely half arsed.

Have found it poor enough this season. WiFi not the best here but having a lot more problems with it this season than last. I think having every game spread out last year would have helped it.

| No replays on WatchLOI is the worst thing. I guess they would need someone back in the studio to do this, meaning an extra person on every stream, meaning a higher cost. But still, it's a major drawback. |

And for all it's faults, in fairness, it is a new and brilliant initiative which can only be good for domestic football in the long term. Hopefully mistakes can be rectified and they can improve as they go. Mayo GAA have had a similar thing for club football here for around 3 years.

For the first division, we were given the option of paying extra to do replays, I'm not sure whether anyone has taken it up, money isn't exactly flowing in the league. To be fair to the FAI, they've pumped a lot of money into loi TV for the first division, was always going to be some teething issues with it.

WatchLOI started off as "fans can't go to games, so this allows them to see it". Hence a fixed camera in one spot in the ground with no replays, somewhat replciating the being at a match view. The same production as a TG4/RTE/Setanta football coverage wold cost far too much unfortunately.

There's a lot of issues with WatchLOI, but I hope they continue it after the mid-season break. Setting aside the issues with no scores or clock (recently added), no replays, bad angles, etc, its brilliant for anyone living away who won't be able to go to games when crowds are allowed back. I'm also more inclined to watch other games now too, rather than just Bohs. Have watched the last 3 Sligo games and my biggest complaint with WatchLOI is the lack of crowd noise to drown out Greg Bolger complaining for 90+ minutes every game. ------------- Jimmy Bullard - "Favorite band?

How? He was inside his 6 yard box. It looked every bit like it was going to be pumped up to the group of 7/8 Athlone lads making the run like it is 99.9% of the time. Nobody anticipated a shot being taken from the other half, let a lone getting one on target.

How do fans of LOI clubs and fans of football in general consider their allegiances to ? For me it comes down to, which of the teams you support gives me the most euphoria when they win an important game ? My order is the ROI team, SRFC and CFC. If I was to use a different benchmark and go by which team ruins your day when they loose, it would be SRFC, ROI, CFC... ------------- " BFC always gives me a laugh........ " |

He ends up in his 6 yard box. As he comes in to view he's back-pedaling from around the peno spot. He has no reason to be out that far because the Athlone players are never going to reach inside the box before the expected long-ball gets there. His team had just gone 4-3 up. It's a brutal mistake. Great quality from McAuley though. EDIT - There's a video on Twitter from behind the goal showing where he started.

He's looked like he's been carrying a bit of weight all season. Can only assume that he hasn't performed in training and that's why he wasn't trusted to play in midfield in any of the games he's played. The emergence of Devoy and Tierney have held him back too.

After last nights results, it should a decent run in to decide on 4th and 9th place in the league - only 5 points separates Bohes in 5th and Harps in 9th. Bohes and Drogs probably have enough points to avoid the play'off. Looking at clubs remaining matches Derry look to be favourites to finish 4th or even 3rd. On current form Dundalk might slip into 9th spot - seems massive problems there and their better players already agreed to move on at seasons end. Youd wonder if they did end up in the playoff would they be able to win it....oddly Rovers and Longford could be influential in the run in despite their seasons being almost over. Plenty of huge games ahead, Bohes arguably have toughest run in with their remaining games all against top 6 teams. Looking forward to the finale. ------------- " BFC always gives me a laugh........

Would assume it's like the PFA awards in England where the votes are collected mid-season. Seems a possible reason for Mandroiu missing out as after a good start, he drifted a bit mid-season. There are plenty of players who should be in that team ahead of Rory Gaffney, but as you say, it's voted for by their peers so it's hard to argue with.

If Waterford lose the play-off to UCD, it will seriously affect the geography of the LOI for next season. Shamrock Rovers in Tallaght will be the southernmost team in the country, which seems pretty amazing. Drawing a line from Tallaght to Sligo, Waterford are currently the only team from south of that line now Longford have been relegated. Of the 27 counties, there are only 6, that could become 5 hosting our top flight teams. I appreciate Dublin is always going to have a minimum of 3 teams (all being well) in it, but it is clear more and more regional clubs are struggling. Apart from a magical money tree, can anything be done to help them going forward? ------------- Jackie Charlton, Eoin Hand Johnny Giles.

Interesting map on LOI Central's Twitter showing the regions of the PD clubs next season. Rovers being the most southern team. As for Waterford, the club has been a shambles for a few years but what happened during the week and last night surely has to be rock bottom. Hard not to feel for the fans when the club is run that badly. Again, a shame to see another regional club falling out of the PD because of how the club is run. ------------- Jimmy Bullard - "Favorite band? Elastic." |

I agree, but it seems that football in Cork has always been a shambles, football in Limerick has always been a shambles, football in Galway has always been a shambles, football in Waterford has been a shambles since the 80's. It has spread to Athlone Town now too, another great footballing town in a mess. While a lot of this can probably be laid at the feet of Delaney and his era, surely football in this country is better than continual boom and bust! ------------- Jackie Charlton, Eoin Hand Johnny Giles.

What do people make of James Brown's move to Blackburn u-23's? It gets him in the door of the club which is a good thing but at 23 himself, it can't be great being stuck at that level. Realistically, he'll find it hard to break into a team going for promotion; Richie Towell's situation at Brighton comes to mind, even though he signed as a first team player. ------------- Jimmy Bullard - "Favorite band?

Can't imagine the money is great when you're signed as an u-23 player. Hope it works out. I'd have thought he was nailed on for Dundalk. ------------- Jimmy Bullard - "Favorite band? Elastic." |

Look, at his age, he could hardly turn it down if he wants a crack at England. He’s good, but I’d have thought a decent League of Ireland team near top of the table would be his level. He’ll be back in Ireland after the 6 months I reckon As for odumoso, wasn’t surprised Bolton said no. Fair play to him giving it a go, but I think he’s pretty average and can’t see even the top clubs in Ireland looking at him

Would agree there. Saw him a few times and I wouldn't say he ever really stood out. ------------- YBIG NPF founder and CEO |
