v Perry City in the Northwest derby.
Shamrock Shandy Rovers v Water United, a spiritless affair. I'll get my coat.
It's a shame Limerick 37up are no longer involved.

if it does happen (which i seriously doubt) it may attract other international companies to come in with investment also. God knows the league can do with any attention or investment it can get at the minute.
It's just a job. Grass grows, birds fly, waves pound the sand. I beat people up.

1) It won't happen.
2) One isolated bout of madness wouldn't necessarily mean it's contagious....
Johnny Giles et al thought their Rovers investment in the 1970s would see other clubs follow suit. All that followed was the sale of Rovers' ground to cover the losses incurred by their madness...
And besides - Red Bull are not the sort of investors an established club with any decent history would want.
It would have worked too if those pesky country teams had let them win.
why is investing in the league of ireland "madness". someday someone is gonna have to be a little mad or else we will stay as we are and always have a ****e league. which would you rather??1) It won't happen.

Ollie Byrne mad or Cork Tom mad?
It's not about what I would rather have.
Putting money into the league in expectation of a return - a.k.a. investing - would be madness, as you would be lucky to get your stake capital back again let alone any return. Hence why no-one does it.
Putting money into clubs out of pure altruism would be a different matter of course. But we seem to struggle re that as well.
And on the subject of 'what I would rather have' - I'd rather have a league that was self-sustaining - not reliant on hand out from government or private individuals, or supposed 'investment' to enable it to fulfill its potential. I'm not suggesting that's easy to achieve either - it's just that you asked what I'd rather have

Because the "investments" pioneered by Tom Coughlan, Ollie Byrne, the Drogs and Bohs property developers etc have worked such wonders for the league......
i dont think you can honestly compare those clowns to a multi national corporation.

Well it's investment you're after, and they're the only one's who've shown any interest in doing it in Ireland !
Talk of multi-national corporations coming in and buying an Irish football club is fanciful in the extreme. I can't even think of an English club that has been bought in a similar way, and that's the world's must lucrative league.
