#GreatestLeagueInTheWorld LOI 2019 pt 2

Amirani

Rovers 1 down. Absolute screamer from Limassol.

White Horse

Some strike. Looks even better in the replay. Very important to stay in the game and not concede a second.

What channel is match on?

Think it's just Cypriot TV, but there are streams available.

You can watch it on Bet365 by lodging €5 into your account. Just withdraw it then once the game is over.

1-1 from a corner!

Amirani

1-1, header from a corner. Rovers have started brightly, deserve that.

Ya have it on 365, was hoping for english commentary cast to the tv.

The trick is to keep a cent in your account forever

White Horse

Cracking game so far.

How do you cast to the TV? I know how to cast mp4 files, but not videos on my browser.

Tallaght.

I'd love to know why it's a disgrace. Rovers will probably get a higher attendance tonight and make more money than they would if the match was on rte/eir.

How much would they get from either of them for the rights? I think rovers will be better off that it's not on tv.

Rte want the matches for nothing, the fai colluded with them in this. I would guess a club in Europe would want €20k for rights,

Because you can't fit every league of Ireland fan into Tallaght, nor can every League of Ireland get to Tallaght :rolleyes:

From speaking to someone who worked in marketing in the FAI, I was told and have no reason to doubt this.....
"the FAI were being paid for the LOI games all along and were hiding the money behind the international deal"

Guffy

Brilliant, hope ta feck they can hold out

MD1990

Brillant from Rovers.

Jack Byrne will have offers from some European clubs at the end of the season.

Gavin "shels"

Apollen very poor defensively. Rovers good for the lead (the c*nts).

Shame the majority of casual or neutral fans won't just happen upon on it on the telly and then get a goo on them to maybe see a game as a result. Brutal carry on.

Amirani

Should probably be a red for that. Definitely led with elbow.

Almost number 3. All from Byrnes deliveries.

They literally can't defend crosses/frees whatsoever. Some header, very unlucky.

That little jig he does before a set piece is obviously paramount to the success.

c.p.w.g.w

That was a red card all day long

Amirani

They are there for the taking. Rovers should be looking for another.

Omackeral

Rovers have been dynamite in the last 25 minutes. As well as I've seen them play. Very composed.

MD1990

fitness levels in Dundalk & Rovers games have made a difference.

Both finishing the game much stronger than the opposition

irish_goat

Rovers allowed 3 unchallenged crosses into the box there. You would think this side were a man down.

Edit: They are now!

Amirani

Shocking attempt at a tackle.

joeysoap

Rovers have them on the ropes.

Appoel down to 10, should be 9 at this rate. They're dirty ****s.

Should be pushing for the third now.

Only seen the last 20 minutes... Appoel are proper dirty

Omackeral

Tallaght Stadium looks class on the telly.... well this dodgy stream I'm watching....

Oat23

Sticking a fiver on Limassol hiring Keith Long this week. Surely the only man who can save their European campaign?

Great result.

Irishmale0399

Great result for Rovers there....

tayto lover

Well done Rovers. Great result.

major bill

Good result for Rovers be some session over there next week! Away goal is a killer and the heat will play a big factor!

joeysoap

Well done Rovers. Same again next week.

Not everyone lives in Dublin, let alone South Dublin.

Televised matches dont really effect attendances. Fans of the team will always be there, your casuals or mutual supports wont.

The prize money in the competition includes television rights in the deal. They wouldn't earn any money directly from the broadcaster no mater who is covering it.

Its disgraceful because theres 2 really good teams in the country competing in Europe at the moment and they continue to ignore it. Its a great advertisement of the league and football in this country in general. They're 20mins drive away from the venue. If a broadcaster from Cyprus can make the trip to cover their countries team play, surely RTE can.

They also pissed away millions on the womens World Cup just gone that Ireland werent even in and it was an incredibly poor standard that brought few viewers.

Its also better and probably cheaper than "the big bang theory" and "Ireland fittest families" repeats theyre showing in its time slot tonight.

So hang on, rte or eir who don't pay anything into the Europa league prize fund would be able to show tonight's game without paying for it? As far as I'm aware the centralised to deals don't kick in until later rounds.

I've seen the women's World Cup mentioned on the thread a few times. Amazing how people think RTE should show an LOI game instead of the World Cup. The clue is in the name.

And no broadcasting something live is not cheaper than showing a rerun of something you already hold the rights for.

That's my whole point. Clubs shouldn't be giving away free content.

Great result for rovers. Fair play

So RTE should show anything that has World Cup in the name? Men's Club World Cup, Women's Club World Cup, Amputee World Cup, Under 14s World Cup.

So no, the name of a competition alone isn't a good enough reason to show it. Cost and public interest are far more important.

Dr. Bre

Pity rovers didn’t get a third but would have taken 2-1 after being behind so early . All to play for in Cyprus

dfx-

Wherever Byrne holidayed during the mid-season break, he should be sent there more often.

Super since the break. Thankfully Rovers can't play Bohs in Europe.

Fair point but if RTE are to base their decision on public interest there'd be even less LOI on TV than there is currently.

As far as I'm aware, qualifying rights are sold on a game by game basis by UEFA. The broadcaster pays UEFA and the participating clubs receive a fee as part of their prize money regardless if the game has been picked up or not.

Would have no problem with the womens World Cup if we were participating, but we werent ...and it cost €7m in rights ...and attracted low viewing figures ..lower than some LOI games. As pointed out, the most watched match had a lower viewing figure than the FAI Cup final.

..and while reruns themselves cost nothing, it is forecast and predicted as part of the initial deal TV deal when the rights are picked up. Like everything, no doubt RTE paid over the odds.

I think it's down to the individual clubs to sell the rights. What generally happens though with LOI sides is a broadcaster from the other teams nation buys the rights and actually does all the production work then if an Irish broadcaster wants in they pay them to use the feed, stick the commentators in a room in rte headquarters and do commentary from there.

Either way the rights for this game were bought and rte were too cheap to pay the normally nominal fee to use the feed if even that. Shocking from the state broadcaster.


On a brighter note, I ****ing love my club, what a game, what a night in general!

Couldn't get a stream to work so missed out on that game but fair play to Rovers great result!

Go on rovers twitter and Instagram and you'll see some of the best bits by the morning.

I hope when Byrne leaves that he doesn't go back to England.

By all accounts he did very well in Holland so I'd like to see him go back there or try one of the top leagues in Portugal or France maybe. Somewhere technical where his talent can flourish and won't be swallowed up by a kicking match every 3 or 4 days in the championship.

Could only be good for the national team too , hel surely be in the next squad ?

I'd love to see him at one of the better Dutch clubs. No real language barrier, suits his play. We should really look at what they have there and try do something similar here.

joeysoap

The Cypriot clubs get millions in tv money so not really surprised their broadcaster had the match tonight. There is obviously a mindset in RTE that think you don’t pay for matches involving LOI clubs. Changing that mindset won’t be easy.


I think until the playoffs for the group stages it’s as D14 posted, the rights belong to the home club. From the playoffs on ( when Uefa get on board) the rights are pooled and there’s a complicated system of payments. It’s good for Irish clubs though. ( if they get that far) as the TV money is serious at that stage.

There is also payments to all league clubs at some stage but it excludes any club that receives money by way of qualification. I think in 2016 if Dundalk had qualified from the group stage the other 8 premier league clubs would have received money. Chances of that ever happening are zero though.
