Quote from: weareros on May 17, 2024, 03:40:50 PMIt still feels this is going in the direction: after leaving no stone unturned, and engaging with some of the top managers in the world (not our fault they never returned our calls), we are happy with John's results as interim manager and we are delighted to offer him the job (please take it O'Shea, we're desperate now, and ignore Duff's sniping that we treated yourself and Brian disgracefully).
Quote from: marty34 on Today at 08:10:54 AMBoxing is strange in that nobody knows the score during the fight. They have to wait to the end.Would it be better if half way through the match they announced the scores so then one fighter knows they have to go for it and the other knows they have to box smart
That lends itself to some 'dodgy' scores and results.
In all of sports, boxing, at all levels, seems to be plaqued by dodgy decisions etc. Moreso than any other sport.
Quote from: Walter Cronc on Today at 07:50:32 AMSome nonsense being talked by the usual suspects. I'm with Keyser on this one. We battled well considering the circumstances. We'll be fine come preliminary quarters onwards.I agree.

Another gripe, we're paying for subscription, why are there ads in there too??
If gaago is doomed to failure as you think, who shows the games they are currently showing? There's 3 games on gaago this evening, there's no way rte commits to that sort of coverage.
Exactly. The games just wouldn't be shown. RTÉ is a national broadcaster not a sports offering and can't just show back to back games or games on several channels at once when it only really has two.
I do think it may potentially fail as it isn't actually that expensive and I do wonder how much they get and how much they make.
