RTE slammed over League of Ireland coverage as team sheets filled with errors

RTE have faced heavy criticism after team sheets for the match between Derry City and Bohemians which was aired live on Friday night.

But the national broadcaster came under fire after their team sheet for both sides had a number of mistakes.

For Bohemians, they listed their manager as Keith Long their manager despite departing the role last month.

They also listed Grant Horton and James Finnerty in the line up with neither player at the club anymore.

For Derry they had listed two Toals, one presumably Eoin Toal who left the club in the summer for Bolton as well as listing a 'Stokes' up front despite having not played for the club since 2019.

Bohemians Press Officer Luke O'Riordan shared a screenshot of the teamsheet, saying: "James Finnerty recalled from his loan and stuck up front on his first game back is a bold move."

While another social media user said: "Keith's back too I see"

The victory left Derry just a point behind Shamrock Rovers but the league leaders have two games in hand on their chasing rivals.
