    Truly pathetic that teams were getting budgets and squads together not knowing until now if 10th is a safe place or a relegation problem.

    F**king laughable.

    I thought that was a done deal? Bottom three relegated?

    I was going to post a long diatribe on this, but can't summon the energy. I'm burnt out from the years of this kind of tinkering and find it hard to get angry any more.

    But, what i would say, briefly, is that:

    * The incompetence of the FAI still amazes, even after all these years.

    * Three down out of twelve is ridiculous. A quarter of the division? I don't see why the transition, were it to be done at all, couldn't be done over two seasons.

    * One up will make a bleak division even bleaker.

    * The PCA is a divisive organisation.

    Wow. I bored myself even more than I was already. Didn't think that was possible. Junior football more and more attractive these days.

    Yeah that wasn't clear, but I mean it was unknown until a couple of days ago.

    To be fair it wasn't unknown to the club's they voted for it and they hardly thought the fai were going to go against them.

    Ah yes, I see what you meant. My bad.

    Waterford with new investors, and still the FAI managed to suck the joy out of football for me. Again.

    It seems to have been in doubt right up until today. A lot of clubs very annoyed indeed about this.

    It doesn't matter whether some of the clubs are annoyed or not. They won't do a single solitary thing about it.

    And what's more if there had been an open vote where jd had made his preference known beforehand it would probably have passed unanimously.

    The notion that all clubs in the league should have an equal say in the running of the league is laughable aswell

    New pitch should be in by then, but very unlikely any other ground redevelopments will that early. The curry chips are still decent, they'll warm you up.

    Not as good as the ones in Cork according to a VERY expensive review of the curry chips around the league prepared by a world renowned brand expert

    Miserable folk don't tend to be warmed up too easily. It will be fun to watch the Hoops pre-season bubble of optimism get deflated

    By you, I presume you mean you, the away supporter who pays good money to stand/sit in one of the worst away sections in the League.

    On the flip side if that will be fun to see the emotional hari kiri amongst dalk fans if Rovers actually win- both wrong BTW, as any sound mind knows one game doesn't make a season..

    Fair point.
    Will be great to see the plans when they come.
    Nice cosy covered seated area for the away fans with access to the half time food. And if you can persuade the council to give you a bar licence (pretend you might be hosting a rugly match or two) even better

    I am giving you, as in Dundalk FC **** for your appalling away section, which even pre dispute with Matthews you did nothing with. If and when it improves you get kudos. Until then, reminders that it is substandard.

    You might be waiting for a bit in terms of structural improvements lads, the new pitch is the absolute priority.

    Going for 4-in-a-row will be next, then ground redevelopments will probably kick in gradually over the next year or so, plenty of time to get that sorted, and there is a long list of items to look at. We'll keep you updated Ger.

    Only way Oriel can be improved properly is the main stand is built the length of the pitch that side of the ground, redevelop the shed the far side and put a small shed behind the far goals for away supporters.
