Stay clear of The Pope's Exorcist. The acting is mediocre at best and the film isn't even scary.

Quote from: Gmac on March 02, 2022, 01:39:16 AMNot the point! You can watch netflix for about 100 a year and ive never had any play back issues if thats what ur saying. For me price is not the issue here its the fact its unreliable, frustrating to use and should have a bigger selection of games.Quote from: Never beat the deeler on March 02, 2022, 12:57:32 AMstop bitching about it we get hundreds of games and Sunday game every Sunday for $140 a year , you wouldn't get a night out for double it .Quote from: Gmac on March 02, 2022, 12:05:18 AM
Customers need to get out of the auto rebuy, then maybe they would improve things
what's the alternative - just not watch for a year?

Tried to watch back the Down v Ros game on catch up and it is missing parts at the start of the game. So went to bbc i player using vpn and playback was perfect. Shows just how shit it is when they cant even get playback right. It really is such a poor service and but no alternative .
Crashed completely (Ireland and US) at the start of the Dub/Tipp hurling match. Came back after a few minutes and was fine thereafter, but it's a very poor service overall. No alternative unfortunately.
If only a vpn worked for rte player

This is what happens when u have numpties like D Dolan commenting on games.Quote from: yellowcard on August 29, 2021, 10:35:14 AMAs bad as the positioning for O'Brien was, why o'shea didn't just roll it in with the left i'll never know. i'd imagine most club forwards would have backed themselves in that positionQuote from: sensethetone on August 29, 2021, 10:30:53 AMQuote from: The Subbie on August 29, 2021, 09:46:24 AMJust turning up mentality cost Kerry a goal when they tried to show boat the ball into the net..Quote from: RedHand88 on August 29, 2021, 09:11:29 AMI noticed that
One thing I noticed on the sky coverage just as the players were coming off after 70mins was the difference in body language between the teams. They showed close ups of the two Clifford's and Brian Ó Beaglaoich, all looked shell-shocked and exhausted. By comparison Hampsey and McCann looked like they were at the start of a match, not the end.
I put it down to the Kerry lads thought that it was theirs to loose and the papers said so
Extra time wasn't in their plans for the day at all at all
Turn up, play the game, run the scoreboard up and the trickiest thing to manage was
making it back to Hueston station for the 17:30 to Tralee
That was a shocking piece of positional awareness by O'Brien. All he had to do was step half a metre back, schoolboy error.

Anyone try watching the Monaghan v Tyrone & Donegal v Armagh games on catch up today?
I could only watch 40 mins of the Monaghan v Tyrone and then it just stops.
The Donegal v Armagh game will only play from the 52 min to the 53 min. I mean what is going on?
This is the third time I've tried to watch a catch up game (the day after the live stream) and it's either not working (Donegal V Tyrone) or just shows bits of the game.
How can they not set up a recorded game properly for play back?
Not being able to show it live is one thing. Not being able to playback on demand is ridiculous.
Smacks of staff that don't give a f**k or incompetent.

The real blight on the game is slow build up possession football. Seeing a team pass the ball from the corner flag back to their keeper or from the left side to the right side to the left side ad nauseum is the largest eye-sore. You shouldn't be rewarded for not trying to score.
None of the suggestions put forward tackle that problem at all. I'd put a score clock rule in place. You've a fixed amount of time to score from when you first take possession. So either 1 minute or else the more Draconian use of a 30 second rule. If you've only one forward inside then it takes much longer to work your players up the pitch to score. Teams would then keep their players stationed more evenly around the field if they were against the clock. Also if your blanket defence is only going to be in place for less than a minute I can't see it being worthwhile implementing a suffocating defence.
The slow build up possession football is only a symptom of the blanket defences. It is the 13/14/15 men behind the ball defending that causes the attacking team to retain the possession going over and back probing until a gap appears in the defence.
The underlying problem is with 13+ players inside the defensive 45m line there is no space for the attacking team. That's the problem that needs to be solved.
2 points for shots from outside the 45m line is a decent suggestion, as is 13 a-side. Any rule change needs to be easy to implement. restricting the numbers in any particular section of the pitch DURING open play is very hard to police, especially in club games where the only neutral official will be the ref.
Also, I don't think a 'shot clock' is a good option at all for 2 reasons. 1. not easy to implement at club level and 2. I actually think it would encourage more blanket defences. If a defence knows that it only has to keep the forwards out for 30 seconds (or a minute) it will encourage them to tighten things up for that minute safe in the knowledge that if they keep it tight they get the ball back.
Any rule change needs to discourage packed defences not reward them.
Quote from: Rossfan on May 22, 2018, 02:40:20 PMWhat? No backward hand passing rule? Are u serious? That would f**k up the game as = stop start stop start.
First implement the 4 steps rule
Then restrict the fcukn abomination of non stop throwball. (Or how about reversing the rubby rule - no backward handpassing allowed?)
No throwing the ball over the bar
No illegal pushing the ball into the net with 2 hands.
Quote from: Rossfan on May 22, 2018, 09:06:47 AMWell i didn't give it much thought but each team would have to designate 3 players in attack to stay in the oppositions half full time ie full forward line. If there marker runs out of defence they can follow and tackle up until the half way line but let him go after that. It would be the same for 3 players in defense.
And if they break that rule......?
Defender running out of defence, his forward chasing him comes to half way line-has to stop and see how many of his fellow forwards in opposition half....
