I think your right on the Bicycle theory

Ruud Dokter was saying he had to find the right youth structure for the country and not just use a structure from another country. In a similar vein I think a Europa League playoff would be a good fit for the league. The proof of the pudding is in the eating!
The league gained a third Europa League spot with the ending of the Intertoto Cup. If the league had only two spots, there would be no platform for such a play-off. The cup winner and league runners-up are rightly guaranteed European football. If everyone knows at the start of a season that x number of places are for playoff positions, I think it's fair enough. Playoff talk splits opinion. It's not everyone's cup of tea.
Dundalk v Galway 3,635
That got some laugh when it was announced.Quote:

Yeah, the best 3 from 3rd or 4th and the league cup winner. This year would work out as: Shamrock Rovers v St. Pat's and Sligo Rovers v Bray Wanderers.Quote:

Would you allow both finalists into Europe if Dundalk win the cup, but only the winner if its Bray? When would you schedule it? Is it before or after the cup?
I'm not totally opposed to the idea, just wondering how it would work.
Schedule the cup final before the end of the league season. The Sunday after the October international weekend stands out. The cup finalists could play their league games on the Wednesday before the cup final on the Sunday.Quote:

Finn Harps v Bohs - 1,008
Ultimately we need to ensure the best teams go into Europe.
3rd V 4th over two legs would reduce dead rubber in the league and playing the match over two legs would determine who's better at winning matches over two legs,vv important for Europe
