That's great news. I think the sports department in Montrose do a brilliant job. It's not even a consideration any more to watch matches on BBC or Sky once RTE have them.
Could ya imagine if TV3 got it, heaven forbit I might have had to watch BBC/ITV's coverage of it Still holding out for actually being over there shouting on our lads though
Is it just me or do Ireland play badly on TV3? Ireland lost 5-2 to Cyprus, jsut about beat San Marino. On TV3. Ireland struggle to beat the worst team in the rugby world cup, Namibia. On TV3. It's the curse of Ant and Dec... or whatever shite theyre importing these days...
The TV3 curse is something nobody can explane,the games I can remember they had are...it started with the loss to croatia in qualification for euro 2000 and followed on with draw with macedonia.There was also cyprus, germany and the lucky win against san marino.You can now add last sundays Rugby to the list. Here is what I have dug up on the Curse so far... Malta 2-3 Ireland scrapped home with a staunton free. Croatia 1-0 Ireland Russia 4-2 Ireland Albania 0-0 Ireland Georgia 1-2 Ireland Switzerland 2-0 Ireland Cyprus 5-2 Ireland Ireland 0-1 chile
Sad thing is, RTE probably got it cheap given Ireland are unlikely to be a part of the competition ! About time RTE starting increasing their sports coverage again mind you, they have lost way too much in recent times (F1, Prem League games every second Sat etc) ... I'd far rather see some of my licence fee spent on decent sports, than some of the other rubbish they show.
