Surely it will be time to put the league together now or it will be a 7 team First Division next season......Unless Cobh or someone are around.
I can't see a two division league next year. There won't be enough clubs.Quote:

How fitting that at the same time the FAI are on the pi$$ in Poland, a member club of the league they've failed to nurture has died of starvation.
Stephen Maher sticking the boot in on twitter now although if what he is saying is true its a disgrace.

Disappointed to hear this news as I always loved by trips to Monaghan. Always wondered how they survived though and it's a shame the people of Monaghan couldn't support them.
Hard to know what the FAI do now (from start of next season). We now only have 19 senior clubs in the country. Is it time to look at a 16 or 18 team LOI which would mean letting at least one more LOI club disappear. Might be the only way forward.
Are Monaghan the only one likely to disappear between now and the start of next season. Very worrying news coming from the likes of Dundalk as well.
Nooo. Just read this on rte.
I never had a MonDog. :-(
In all seriousness. I'm gutted. Absolutely gutted for everyone involved with the club.
Sad sad day.
Wouldn't be surprised if we took on one or two of their players. We're considering bringing in a couple in the window I believe. Sincere sympathies to all Mons fans though, we've sailed close to the wind ourselves in previous years.
Terrible news. Always seemed like a very well run club. I thought the support they got was decent enough for the area they were representing.
Gutted for all Mons fans.
yeah my mistake, must have counted in their cup matchQuote:

Ah come on now - no budget increases are forced. Not necessarily blaming shoddy or the squad, but it's completely ridiculous to pull out mid season, based on budget issues (which it appears to be). So sympathy for the fans, but got to say I'm also pretty angry at the moment as well.Quote:

Any word from Roddy Collins?
Great people trying to spend their lives doing something constructive for their sport and region. Sadly they come from a Country of event junkies and bandwagon jumpers. When England play there next match there will be a nearby pub with locals booing England, but wearing a Chelsea, Man U , Liverpool top- and not caring that their local club has gone from the league . Why do we bother! Not sure I can listen to the fields of Athenry if it starts up tonight.
