The Irish Super league :cool:
They suggested this in the Genesis Report alright.
They gave some suggestions to which the eircom Irish Premership was the worst by far!
They suggested the eircom Irish Elite League which is kinda cool I think.
Rules of the competition are that it has to have eircom somewhere in the title ;)
i-League?
Following the example of the J-League etc
except small i's have possibly been done too much already and Apple would probably sue :D
How about Serie Á? :)
I like it :DQuote:

Peile Eireann or Peile E
The Lovely(Eircom) League or Eirè League.
How about the "Our National Association Are All Over In Old Trafford And Don't Give A F*ck About Our" League?
League of gentlemen
The Republic League.
Eircom Eire own.
Or The Plonk League for short right CCFC lads and lassies? :DQuote:

Only here so we can have a national team full of British lads league.
Super fantasmical uber fantistico Irish Premiership of doom doom DOOM!
Eircom League of Ireland: A working tribute to the wonders of soccer abroad.
Live Championship.
Elite League sounds silly, no offense like. Sounds a bit like "Special Class".
Éire League isn't bad, but I think any attempt to go too far down the patriotic route will risks putting some people off. But then perhaps it's just me that vomits at the very sight of American-style patriotism.
Premiership is kowtowing to the premiership followers, sure, but is that such a bad thing? More we can steal the better surely?
adam
St. Patrick's Athletic and Friends League
(Eircom?) Irish Premiership?
Get Barclays on baord! ;)
That rules out the I.R.A.L.(Irish Republican Army League) then? :confused: :DQuote:

Never our friends. We were just made happen what all the league wanted to ahppen. Kill off one of the unneccessary Dublin clubs. UCD and Home Farm watch out...Quote:

What has the Plonk got to do with Delaney and his cronies being only interested in Man Utd? :confused:Quote:

The Eircom Super League
The Eircom Premier A League
or something in IRish like they have in Germany, the bundastliga or a cool catchy word

KOH
I agree, KEEP PREMIERSHIP OUT!! Its so british it makes me physically sick.
It needs a rebranding NY Hoop so the EL wont stand.
what about
The Irish Eircom A League
The Irish Eircom (***Premier in Irish) League
can someone please look up what premier and League are in Irish ?? It might actually sound really catchy. The French call theirs the championship in french, the Espanols have la liga and the Von Sportik Technick fellas have Bundisliga. I think we should follow their example.
How about 'The League Needs A Strong Rovers'?
Éiresraith / Gaelsraith :: Irish League
Éirecraobh / Gaelcraobh :: Irish Championship
Intíresraith :: Domestic League
(I like this if you pronounced it "inter-sray-th" :))
Intírecraobh :: Domestic Championship
Idírsraith :: Inter League
Príomh-aire :: Premier in Irish
Note these a crude translations done using the online dictionary at http://www.crannog.ie/focloir.htm
iCraobh :: iChampionship
(I crave)
;)
I like it!Quote:

So 'The All-Ireland Premier League' ;)
Depends if they are looking to make Bosman signings from other clubs then they are part of the United Kingdom :D , but I do like the all ireland name although its essentially the Dublin District league at the moment with a few regional teams. As mentioned by someone else surely there must be a sexy irish word out their like the bundersleague.Quote:
