Scarily enough at the international game on saturday* (Eire

V macedonia ) the PA was still referring to "an Irish League X1" as participating in the FAI shiny new competition. I mean is it really beyond them to get the name right or are they inviting a Northern selection down and excluding our league as a reprisal for Limericks victory ?

* ehhhhhhh I was just passing the stadium and wondered what the bright shiny lights were..... honest.

advertising hoardings had Airtricity League XI but adverts on the big screen had Irish League.

Is it just me who would much prefer to see a Linfield (the half of their team that don't support Celtic) and Glentoran XI get a crack at this? Obviously not going to happen though.
