The League

[don ramo]

What's the obsession that people have on this forum with endless structural change in the league....? :confused:

I don't see people perched on their bar stools in pubs up and down Ireland complaining that Irish football just doesn't do it for them because the league set-up isn't to their liking !

Fecking around with the structure is just a waste of energy and takes everyone's eyes of the real issues that are holding our league back. Lke poor facilities, incompetent club administration, absent marketing etc.

How's about making what we have work a bit better first, before worrying about what colour bow to rap the league up in...

change it first then make it work,

the obsesion i have with changing it is that i think playing each other 3 or 4 times a year in the league is boring (or repetitive if you prefer), playing the same 9 teams over and over, then if you draw them in the 2 cup, the setanta cup, senior cup, you could possibly play a team 9 or 10 times in 1 year,

I started going to a few games recently and I think the level is pretty good for a semi professional League. For the Dundalk v Shamrock Rovers (http://bettingnews.boylesports.com/football/eircom-league/galway-utd-v-shamrock-rovers.php) game I was depressed by Dundalk's lack of quality. Some of the Rovers players had real heart but not much skill, it seems like the league has it's talented players and crap ones, so take the good with the bad. Like any other sport.

Tbh i dont really care who the opposition is when watching Rovers play,i go to see Rovers,not who they're playing

thats not been a football supporter thats been a groupie. looking forward to an once a year match againist a club should generate great interest however if you play them six times a year there is no great buzz.

Do you work for BoyleSports? Seems a very odd link to include. An it's a horrendously written article.
