    LIttle things that annoy you about the league.....

    Little things that could be made better. Ill start. It annoys me that some teams have names on their jerseys and other teams dont. Why not? It looks a bit unprofessional that everyone cant have names on the back. Whats the big deal? Its should be a rule.

    Maybe they are embarrassed about who plays for them and don't want peeps to know?

    The lack of online merchandise. Some of the websites look like they were put together by a 10 yr old.

    That fence is one of the few things that stays together in Finn Park, and it isn't broken at all. It was only half made, for advertising hoardings.

    It annoys me more than it rains rust during the game in the stand.

    Was just going to say this - using the name Limerick 37 was an error that persisted for a long long time.


    Limerick FC announcer - "Let's make some NOISE".

    MNS commentators getting players' names wrong - they are not even watching it live FFS.

    The general crapness of the Airtricity League website.

    It's always amazed me that teams playing in the 6th tier of English football (and some lower) have nicer grounds than the biggest Irish teams.

    Even teams in the 3rd tier (and some lower) of Scottish football have nicer grounds.

    More fans might go to games if the grounds weren't so uninhabitable.

    It's the same basic reason Juventus got such low attendances when they played in the Delle Alpi.

    Clubs in those leagues have local and national government assistance.Sports capital funding doesn't go to the GAA first, then everybody else in the UK.

    And when funding is granted to GAA clubs, they actually receive their money.
