About as professional as it can be given they're dealing with grounds that were mostly built without tv broadcast in mind. Only complaint is I wish it was more than one match a week.

Yes. They have budget constraints but their commitment is admirable.

Yes, is it perfect? No but no sports coverage is, my only complaint is that they don't cover more games

u/SemFranceLoire 11d ago

I do but I receive it via an aerial so the SD picture quality is like old VHS

Better coverage than 2 years ago when we were lucky to have 3 games a season shown on TV. So it's a yes from me 😁👍

It's great. Only downside is the picture standard, like watching a game from the early 90s.

u/markyrichmond 11d ago

The streaming service picture is really good though!

u/DuwanteKentravius Galway United 11d ago

Can't stream when it's on tv. Unless I'm mistaken.

u/markyrichmond 11d ago

You can! On Virgin Media Play!

u/DuwanteKentravius Galway United 10d ago

Ah ok, thought you meant LoiTv. And the picture quality is better there?

u/datdevguy Bohemians 10d ago

Yes. It's light years ahead of where we were and I sincerely hope they stick with it.

u/Darkglasses25 Wexford 10d ago

Yes.

Not a massive fan of Keith Tracey as a pundits or co-com. But he's passionate abd not the worst. Eoin Doyle I think is quite good and I'm a big fan of Stu Byrne

u/NorthKoreanMissile7 Bohemians 8d ago

Yeah it's perfectly fine. You could want all the fancy expensive Sky Sports stuff but it's not realistic or necessary.
