Maybe someone should listen to Dolan, not everything he says is bullsh*t.

I think the team should be picked from the Munster Senior League and Leinster Senior League and send them out. Thats what a competition like this is for. It would be a good experience and would no doubt improve the competition in those leagues to get a place.

But Dolan is right on this one .... First and Premier teams should not be involved.

Chances are it's going to be on in Cork.
What a joke, it's going to get some decent press coverage with us hosting it and that will only give barstoolers ammunition to knock the el. They will think that we are of the same standard as the english non-league or the welsh league. And who could blame them for thinking that when we are stupid enough to enter this farce in the first place!

The FAI should listen to Dolan and avoid any future involvement in this rubbish. We are far better than this.

It should be for non-league team here ... then the barstoolers couldn't knock it. If some of them do well ... then sign them up. If not then we are no bothered.

That is what the thing is for ... non-league sides.
