The MSL is in bad need of a name change - the not-so-senior Cork junior player merry-go-round would be my suggestion!Quote:

There was talk of Sligo Rovers being invited to include a reserve team in it this season.Quote:

You could possibly state a case for something like a Cavan Town and Monaghan united team to join the Ulster Senior League, but it wouldn't go down well here really.
Derry City Reserves are the only non-Donegal team.

How are Fanad Utd getting on these days? They made a late run to be part of the final edition of the abandoned tier.
Not so good these days really. They're concentrating much more on youth now, but they're not half as successful as they were in previous years. Don't think they'd add anything to League of Ireland football the more I think about it. I'd have considered it in the past, but really, they're just too far away from anywhere to have any sort of impact.Quote:

Cavan/Monaghan league was asked if they wanted to enter sides but they turned it down. Otherwise it'd be tough to add in any other areas as they would be IFA clubs.
So the concensus here then seems to be that people are happy the way things are....
I think the consensus is that the people who matter are happy the way things are.Quote:

I feel like coming up with a bogus team just to see the list of documents and requirements needed and what the so called licensing manual is made of.
Good luck with that. They refused to give GUST the required application pack, never mind actually consider them.Quote:

Mindset is the main problem to be overcome & I can't see this changing anytime soon.
There are too many administrators happy in their own little kingdoms.
This should be renamed Cork Senior League & I use the word Senior with extreme caution.Quote:

I suppose in reality than sums up Irish Soccer in general.
34 clubs, all from Cork. It's ridiculous.Quote:

Skibbereen AFC were looking into joining the league but being 50 miles from the city they decided not to bother as the travel and costs were too high, didnt want to travel as far as youghal lol. West Cork League is good enough.
