We are probably one of the only countries in Europe in which the majority of soccer supporter's support a foreign team before their local teams.
Could you imagine going to a Portugal home game and seeing a large Barcelona or Juventus jersey being passed around the crowd?
The FAI do need to give the league (both divisions) some sort of exposure and stop taking whatever is being thrown at them when it comes to sponsorship.
Last season was the best example....teams had their best performance in Europe ever-Bohs,Shels and even UCD (unbeaten in their two games) and yet there was no big advertisement campaign, no official launch...no f**k all.
It's alright for us poor f**kers to drag people along to the game every week but it's annoying when the people who run the league do nothing but count down the seconds to the next ManUre or International game.
oooh I need a drink!!
