Not sure - possibly some decoder not installed. Try going to LMFM.ie and go in fron there - it may detect what's wrong and tell you what to do.

Good start anyway!  Meath 2-0, Monaghan 0-0 inside 3 minutes. Sheridan and Bray.

They work fine on my Windows Media. Must be your system/settings.

If you don't get sorted let me know if you want me to post updates here during the game.

Jesus Christ! What?

Juice - both LMFM and Northern Sound (covers Monaghan area) broadcast live on the net. This evening's matches are not shown in the schedule for either but I'd say the websites are just showing their regular schedules. I'd be surprised if neither is broadcasting the match. Here are the links:

It's not on TG4 juice. It was scheduled, but was pulled  - the suggestion is that the GAA pulled it because of a feared effect on club game attendances. Seems strange to me that these games were deemed to be so potentially detrimental to attendances when last Sunday's Div. 1 semis were not. 

Bizarre behaviour and just a temporary fad in the annals of anthropology. Future generations will marvel at this era, when some weird compulsion drove men to scrape all the naturally-growing hair off their faces every day. Just their faces, for some reason. Nowhere else. What's that about?

I think Kerry in the first half v Tyrone in 2003 was their worst. 2 pts?

That's if you don't include the second half v. Meath in 2001 - 1 point. The first half is up there as well - 4 points.

You and me both. Let it rip, I say - it's not good to bottle it up.

I agree. And I think you needed it BC - you seemed a bit depressed yesterday.

the judge hasnt made a call on their case. just that they have a right to argue it.

As I said, the judge, then, disagrees with you in that regard. You said it was between SDCC and SR. The judge says, unlike you,  no – TD have a legitimate interest.

the stadium is not free. there is a dispute about how mich rovers put in, but they put something in.

The only figure I've seen them quote is €100K. I'd say they wouldn't be slow to trumpet it if it was more. It's not even clear whether that was their own money, or under which of the several guises under which they've scammed their way across the sporting landscape of the country it was spent.  However, when you consider that they got the land free and then SOLD the lease back to SDCC, they are net financial beneficiaries already and not contributors. So the stadium is not just free, they've been paid to use it!

and the cost to the exchequer will be more if TD get their way and the ground run at a loss fgoing forward. so give over with the concerned taxpayer bullshit

Tendentious and spurious and nothing but speculation. And try to argue civilly.

its still more than the GAA have offered....

Don't think so. How can a negative amount be more than zero?

dont know, dont care, none of the GAA's business in the same way its none of theirs what goes on in GAA grounds.

It's my business as a taxpayer.

what deal rovers and the sdcc strike to finish the thing is their business

The judge didn't seem to think so. I'd say it stopped being exclusively their business when SDCC promised to accommodate the GAA in the stadium and were then forced to renege by the minister. In what way is it unreasonable for TD to demand that SDCC/Minister O'Donoghue deliver what was promised? And Shamrock Rovers scream that THEY are hard done by! They get a free stadium IN ADDITION to money raised from selling something they got free from the taxpayer, back to the taxpayer! Money that has since gone God knows where. And then they have the jaw-dropping gall to issue a statement that they are happy to accommodate junior (sic) GAA as if it were THEIR stadium!

Forgive the cliché, but you couldn't make it up. Unless you were the scriptwriter for a Marx Brothers caper. Monkey Business, maybe.

... why should the entire structure, foundations and drainage that Rovers have paid for be demolished ...

Is this the famous €100,000 ( )? And which Rovers paid this? One of the tax-defaulting, asset-stripping, supplier-robbing, employee-screwing incarnations of Rovers, that you claim is different to the current version? If so, their contribution is irrelevant, isn't it, since they are in no way related to the present Rovers. Isn't that so?

its still more than the GAA have offered....

so its a national disgrace that a soccer club that needs it gets a stadium built nearly for free but justice will be served if a GAA club that dont need it gets in totally for free?

thats krazy logic!

And your answers to my questions?

Or is it the present Rovers? If so, didn't they get more than fully compensated when they SOLD back the lease on the property that had been donated to them completely buckshee? What has happened to that money, by the way?

So does this mean no more Saturday evening games on TG4? Or just this Saturday evening? How many clubs complained? If I get as many clubs to complain that we wanted to see these games, will they be reinstated? What sort of a f'n mickeymouse way is that to organise a schedule? Why should I believe TG4's schedule any more? If I tune into the weather will I see an announcement that "we're not showing the weather forecast this evening because a number of churches complained that it was keeping people away from devotions. But it's just for this evenin like"?

Which reminds me. What happened to "Western an Luain"?
