The Eircom Supercalafragilisticexpedaledotious hyperleague (pardon my spelling but if you've seen Mary Poppins you'll get it).
the eircom league-eireann
or the eircom premier league of ireland... that'd be grand
Eire 12 (or 10 as the case may be)
Once we don't change to that single 32 team division
how bout the " hyper force robot team super monkey go league " or i like Príomh-aire, but could you call it "the" Príomh-aire, god on second thoughts thats terrible. we need something that is funny at first, like the b-sharps :DQuote:

It needs a rebranding NY Hoop so the EL wont stand.
Yeah but why does it need a rebranding? Whats wrong with the EL? Even the barstooler scum know what the EL is. Changing the name is a waste of time when there are more serious issues like getting convicted criminals out of clubs, uniform kick off times, proper facilities etc etc etc.

Eircom A* League
(Eircom A-Star League)
All-Ireland Inter-City Soccer Championship
Irish National League Premier?
(and if you go along with my plan for german style provinical divides)
Irish National League South Division / North Division / Pale Division
Late entries
'Liga C' ;-)
'In league with the devil' - O. Byrne new chairman
I'rish Super League' sounds oke to me. As does 'Peile League'
Em, the Irish Premiership.
how bout we pick the best of them and have a poll ?
but what could we call the poll ?
there is bound to be a few more... there is some lame attempts here though.
The league needs a new name (like england going from Division 1 to the English PL) to highlight that it is a better standard, better football and all the rest of the GENESIS recommendations. It will give a better chance for new sponsorship money, government money and advertisment so hopefully crowds will increase.
Unless there is a really catchy (and easy to say) Irish word, im going to go for
The FAI Eircom Super League.
what about THE DUBLIN AND DISTRICT LEAGUE :D :D :D
No........The Lovely League is the best suggestion.
I think something like this would be excellent, far better than anything out of the report. I'm no great user of the launguage, but like people said, it'd be something unique to us rather then calling it the FAI premiership :rolleyes:Quote:

The E-10 or the EE-10? :confused:
no......
Feck you, it's better than all your suggestions :DQuote:

'The eL' has a good ring to it imo. Maybe the Eircom 10? Or does that sound too much like the Rossport 5? ;)
That's what my suggestion was(E-10) ;)Quote:

The Peil Eire League (sounds alomost spanish when you say it quickly)
Peil Eire A (premier division)
Peil Eire B (first division)
Some young player could then be christened the fresh prince of Peil Eire.
But what happens when Allianz take over the sponsorship? It would really sound like a Dublin and District League then!Quote:

Adding silly things like E-12 Super-duper GO league et al are just plain dumb. I agree with a model based on successful leagues. Barclays English Premiership, La Liga, Serie A, is there a copyright on us being called the Eircom Irish League cos of the Northern League? Surely we should have ownership of that title?
The EL is not to bad but when the sponsor changes it leaves you open to problems. Its not the name thats the problem, its the fact its not marketed. The el budget is a joke!!
Don't be rediculous. The south were the ones that split. The 'Irish League' title is over 120 years old. We should only be using the term 'Irish League' if/when we get an all-Ireland league.Quote:

the eL is fine but as mentioned before, we need to have a name that will still have the ability to be marketed if the sponsor changes
St. Francis are now un-in-corporated.Quote:

Its a constant correction I seem to have to make to people. Its awkward seeing as after the default league name (la liga, serie a) people say the Spanish League, the Italian league. However in Ireland we are not the Irish League ;)Quote:

Leave it as the EL. When another sponsor comes in just do as its done now. Any fancy names or premiership should be barred.
