    The League

    before i start this thread im not trying to stir any thing as any loss of a club from the league is sad

    so with cork likely to fold will the points they have already got and future fixtures be giving to the opposition or will they take Finn harps up?also is this a first where a club folded during the season in this league?

    What this league needs, is definetely another Dublin club.

    You can never have enough.

    if they go, the points gained against Cork by any team will be taken from their total, a la Dublin City, if i remember correctly.
    I like high energy football. A little bit rock and roll. Many finishes instead of waiting for the perfect one.

    What the league needs, is to be spelt right in the thread title.

    Just as likely to cure it as another change in the size of the Premier in fairness.

    stop the season half way through, then start up winter football again, with a 16 or 18 team premier division, and a first division north and south, still have the A teams to make up the numbers in the first division, maybe 10 teams in each,
    Great spirits have always encountered violent opposition from mediocre minds.

    It's Aryan. Arianism is a different thing entirely.
    A leading authority on League of Ireland football since 2003. You're probably wrong.

    At first I thought, "Wow." But then I started to doubt. So much so that I had to look up Wikipedia:

    "The term "Arianism" is also used to refer to other nontrinitarian theological systems of the 4th century, which regarded the Son of God, the Logos, as a created being (as in Arianism proper and Anomoeanism) or as neither uncreated nor created in the sense other beings are created (as in "Semi-Arianism")."

    Even after reading that 3 times I still wondered if maybe that was indeed what was meant, before finally reverting back to "Wow."

    Think the exact word used is "expunged"

    First, and last time I ever heard it. Works perfectly though

    As stated above, a 16 team Premier Division, no First division, with the A League being the league were potential new teams can develop and grow, as well as "feeder" clubs who are not after promotion, just the development of talent in the league. Sort of a Wexford Youths style setup in different centers around the country.

    Teams in Dublin should really share grounds rather than having resources wasted maintaining numerous grounds.

    The 10 team PRO league was dead before it was even close to happening. We need to nurture talent and stop shooting ourselves in the foot with 10 team leagues and 3 Divisions. Resources are small already.

    There's no place for sensible thinking such as that which is quite blatantly flouted above. Someone put a gag on this man, and quickly.

    The constant interuption of important threads on the survival of football in Ireland with grammer lessons should be considerd as an act of Heresy ,the rejection of the more established belief that the survival of football is more important than any single spelling crime.This site is infested with Arians .Context and content would be a better angle of attack for your lot giving you the added bonus of leaving your own posts open to no critique what so ever
    The fact that the tone and content of some of these posts would be found offensive by a number of groups in our society ie people with literacy, learning difficulties would enable me to use Aryan but I reserve that for a more serios brand of muppet now back to the football please.

    There is no way they could promote Finn Harps at this stage. If they did they would be fixing one problem but creating another. Cork City's points and any points gained against them would be wiped out
