Mungret are my favourites for the league, plus any other from Shannon Town, Caherdavin, Dines & Shannon Hibs for promotion.
I think you will see a lot of last years 1 A players going to premier teams to make up their squads with this new rule coming in.
Doubt that somehow,but we'll just have to wait and see,have a feeling this rule is going to be challenged,
Cheers for that, a mention would have been nice!!Quote:

if it goes to another note I thnik it will be passed again, I think most of the teams want the rule in unless there is some other way it can be overruled
Fill me in on this rule change..Quote:

Never too early to get back into it. And yes, we fully intend challenging for honours this season. Whats the point in playing this game if you don't?? We have several talented minors coming through ready for their Junior bow, a good group of 20 somethings with another years experience under their belt and our usual couple of veteran heads to add that steadying influence!! Sounds like a recipe for success, wouldn't you agree?? :DQuote:

I'm sure they will. It will be good to have a few Pike players on here this season. They always have strong opinions on the game. Should spice 1A's thread up a bit!Quote:

move from kilmallock to charleville, thats like celtic to rangers or united to city.crazy moves if true
Those rumours keep coming don't they though?Quote:

Maybe a bit premature to think that though, they were in 1a a few years ago and they went back up to premier in 2 seasons. With so many B teams in the league this year, am I right in thinking that a team could come 4th or 5th in the league and still get promoted, for example if you had a top 3 of Balla B, Pike B and Fairview B, what happens then?

Ya, well b-teams can't be promoted. So you could technically finish below them and get promoted...Quote:

think fairview b have pulled out
The problem with premier teams having a b team in 1 A is that they dont get to play in the Lawson, Munster Junior, Touhy Cup or F.A.I. so they dont get to play as many matches.Quote:

Also so their divisional cup is played earlier than the other cups under lights in Jackman Park so if they lose that in October their season is over because they have nothing to play for.
So I dont think any of them will finish in the top 3.
B teams can play in mj,wembley knocked pike b out this year,
Do you think the rule change will only ensure the "big" clubs prey on the underage clubs more and take the local young talent that will weaken other clubs so competition will be where it is now? Also, the young players who go to League of Ireland clubs early and dont make it will have to decide to move away from their "home" club to get Junior soccer again. How helpful is that?
It's not,and you're right the big clubs will take all these players and clubs will be in even bigger trouble,as the saying goes they made their bed,
I heard that as well. It'd be a shame if trueQuote:
