    This is a painful painful thread! People are fooling themselves with this no matter how much you want this to be true it just isn't.

    The top 3 eams in the LOI would survive relegation in the SPL and would knock around promotion/ playoffs in League one in england.

    A league of Ireland select IX would be lucky to finish above relegation in the championship maybe mid table.

    Hibs are 6th in the SPL and can anyone (who has ever seen hibs and bohs play) honestly say that bohs are better than hibs?? sadly not!

    I wish this was not the case but it is!! deal with it and stop fooling yourself

    Maybe if we are to have the Setanta Cup, would including the top two in the scottish 1st to make things more interesting?
    Invite the teams that finish at the top of the bottem half of the SPL and it has the added bonus of making the run in more exciting for teams that are safe from relegation prior to that split.

    League player bigs up domestic game shock.

    Pity more wouldn't do it. So often our players and managers, and especially our media and our pundits, spend their time apologizing for it or knocking it. I don't see the need to subject Twigg's impression to sliderule analysis (and he did just play Bohs last week ).

    He thinks it's good: that's ok by me.

    Cork City beat a Hibs in 2005 with a weak team the few 1st teamers who did play that game were taken off at half time when we we were 3-0 up, ill admit
    it was one of there first pre-season games but they had a strong team out with Riorden and brown playing.
