The Interview:

Would be mad to go back to winter football, there would have been no matches for the last few weeks and no gate receipt income for the clubs, how are they then expected to pay the players. Half of Europe either have summer soccer or close down for the winter so we are not alone.

The Ulster Senior League had their AGM last night and 2 out of 18 proposed a switch back to Winter Football.

The vote went 16 - 2 in favour of Summer football.

With summer soccer staying, should more Junior and Intermediate leagues look at reverting to summer football as well?

I hope the idiots that are running our local game that have wasted time talking about something so pointless have finally seen the light.

A debate disguising the merits of moving all loi games to planet Mars would have more relevance to growing our league.

I think you'd have a hard time keeping kids interested if junior football went to a summer schedule.
