Sadly, Distillery look like imploding from last season (due to Kirk leaving etc) - and they weren't much even then!

They have the worst ground in the IL, it's essentially a dog track with a pitch squeezed in the middle and the place is a tip.

They sacked one of the best managers in the league and replaced him with one of the worst, Jimmy Brown, who's only managerial success was about 30 years ago.

They usually have about 5 fans at their games, who are the biggest bunch of dorks you are ever likely to encounter at a football game.

Ballyskeagh makes the brandywell look like Old Trafford.

There's no other word to describe them.

They're basically child-like teenagers who sing dopey songs (if you stand right beside them to hear them that is).

Things like D-D-D-D-D-D-D-D-DISTILLERY to the tune of ring of fire. When you hear it, rather than sing back the general reaction is to just fall about laughing.

So if Cork do go under then Bray are in, very interesting indeed. I can still see the FAI coming up of a wa not to allow us into it and putting Shamrock Rovers in ahead of us.

Well at least you're honest.

Setanta are in enough financial problems of their own. Having Bray rather than us in it, certainly isn't going to result in massive new subscriptions. Bray are down the bottom of the league with lights that are very poor. Our game down there this month finished in near darkness, with them on.

For hospitality, we have a suite to offer. Bray have a portakabin.

If it's an invitation rather than a qualifying tournament, then the last place is up for grabs. Setanta should consider their options carefully.

. I'd still rather see two Welsh clubs coming in for two IL clubs. I think clubs such as Lllanelli, TNS and Rhyl are equally as good (or as bad

) as the top of the IL.

**awec** · 28/07/2009, 1:55 PM

I can't see there being too many gripes on the IL side (other than from Distillery) if the Crues were to be invited.

Having Shams in is not going to result in massive amounts of subsriptions either to the channel. Esp as it is a free to air channel in Dublin and you all have dodgy boxes as well

Ye get the loan of a ground to play in(sometimes), and now you want to be in a competition ye couldn't qualify for, shameless

Jesus I hope Cork stay alive if only to put an end to the debate on who gets their spot

At least mypost tried to be funny about it...

Last week it was a competition nobody cared about now we have fans of clubs putting up all sorts of shambolic reasoning why their club should get in...

Wait?! Mypost wasn't joking?!?!? Oh dear...

WE ??? you mean SDCC have a hospitality suite to offer

Hoops should not get the place because they did not earn it ( although we all understand the 'handout mentality' at SRFC).
Qualification should be earned (not bummed) so Bray or a playoff with next highest IL team should apply
