RTE: Radio, Telefis, Empty pockets

Me: shoot, it’s nearly 12 noon. Where did the morning go? Oh, right, I forgot, I’ve been arguing about the WMT with Henry and some Pat Spillane type character on the local message board.

So you can't multitask? Not at all surprised.

Lol at RTE trying to hype up womens soccer.

Ireland playing Georgia tonight. Radio 1 inform me a 'bumper crowd' of 4k expected.

Id be interested to see what the actual viewing figures for this are.

So 96% of the population didn’t watch it?

I know RTÉ is only a minority niche public broadcast network now, but that tweet is embarrassing even for them.

Thanks for clearing that one up.

It seems like it. By your logic then, RTE shouldn’t cover the FAI cup final either, but you still think they should be covering more run of the mill LoI matches.

Thanks Henry.

Thanks Henry.

The article you linked highlights perfectly that there's an audience there to watch league of Ireland football.

Thanks for proving my point.

Instead of admitting you miscalculated the interest in a woman’s soccers international you just lamely tried to cover your tracks and just succeeded in making a right langer of yourself. SoundY might be onto something here.

How many of those people tuned in they heard which way the score was going though?

I certainly wasn't watching from the beginning but I tuned in when I saw they were nearing double figures. I watched fkr the novelty, not because I have any interest in watching women's football
