RTÉ HAVE ANNOUNCED that they are set to televise three high-profile domestic soccer games next month across the FAI Cup and Premier Division
The glamour FAI Cup quarter-final between the top two in the league will be broadcast as Derry City take on Shelbourne at The Ryan McBride Brandywell Stadium on Saturday 14 September at 5.45pm.
The previous night on Friday 13 September, there is live coverage on the station as Shamrock Rovers face Sligo Rovers at 7.45pm.
RTÉ has also added Derry City v Shamrock Rovers on Friday 20 September at 7.45pm to its broadcast schedule.
Three other quarter-finals will take place on Friday, 13 September as Athlone Town host Drogheda United [kick-off, 7.45pm] while Wexford face Treaty United at the same time, as is the battle between UCD and Bohemians at the UCD Bowl.
The League of Ireland has also announced two new dates in the Premier Division as Galway United face Shamrock Rovers, which was previously postponed due to the international window in June, will now take place on Monday, 16 September at 7.45pm.
Shamrock Rovers v Bohemians was also affected by that international window, and has been refixed for Monday, 23 September at 8pm.
A rematch , MMA rules. I’d pay to see that, most definitely.
@Hardly Normal: nah I’d stream it for free
@Jamie Smith: rebel
@Hardly Normal: fools and their money
@Jamie Smith: don’t come crying when your screen buffers just as the knockout punch is landed. Stuff of nightmares!
@Hardly Normal: I would prefer if it was a choke out, ground and pound stoppage or a kick to the head.
@Jamie Smith: fools and their Money? Same logic as someone on the dole laughing at someone for going to work. Don’t worry Jamie we’ll pay up to keep these organisations going so you can enjoy it stuttering from a grainy little stream.
Lord knows the UFC needs something like that to keep it relevant. The interest and numbers have been staggeringly low recently and light years behind boxing for example. They are probably paying Floyd just to give them some attention in the media and without any deal ever happening.
@Brian: interest and numbers light years behind boxing!? Are you drunk

Total BS Floyd will never fight MMA. Unless it’s boxing rules. This is all hype, Floyd trying to keep his name in the news.
