DDSL go back to September to May season
This affects the LOI so its not really just a schoolboy issue.
The DDSL are taking advantage of the chaos in the FAI to pull a fast one and change away from summer soccer in direct defiance of the FAI strategy while the FAI are otherwise engaged.
St Kevins were tweeting how great it was which really shows how they view their "partnership" with Bohs but its the same old dinosaurs in charge of the league that are trying to cling on to power and stop the drift of kids into LOI clutches.
Entirely driven so they get to keep sending them over to England for 5k at 15 years old and claim they are "getting kids over to England".
Best example was the 3 kids sent by Kevins to Stevanage recently but any of the hundreds of kids sent over who come back broken are an example of how Kevins / Joeys etc are destroying generation after generation of kids.
Summer soccer was set up by the DDSL to fail with a two month break rather than what should have been a one month break to allow people to go on holiday.
The FAI needs to go back to the DDSL and tell them if they want to go against the FAI fine but there will be no grant money from the FAI for DDSL clubs and the FAI will set up a league and invite clubs who want to be eligible for grants to join that league.
Iron fist is the only way to deal with these dinosaurs.
