Does anyone know what the official title of the League of Ireland is for 2009? If you had a choice what would you title it?

Its the League Of Ireland

**Scrufil** · 18/01/2009, 10:17 PM

Is that confirmed? I thought it might be The FAI League of Ireland.

Doolin was still calling it the eircom League in his interviews last week. Also, eircom is still on the official league website. If they aren't sponsoring the league anymore why don't the FAI tell people to step using their name and allowing them free advertising?

How about "The Jokeshop"

IMO It is and always will be the League of Ireland or prehaps FAI League of Ireland, It get on my nerves when it was called Eircom League. How many english people call their top league The Barclays Premiership, or Italians call theirs Serie A Telecom Italia Mobile. Most news channels don't even use these names

I think it was stipulated in agreement that the league would be referred to as the 'eircom League' when eircom signed up. Thats why it changed.

League of Ireland is the name alright though, i'll agree with ya there.
