I have it third hand from a UCD official that 10th will face 3rd in a 1-legged play-off, venue decided by coin toss.
It was said on MNS the other night that there is no automatic relegation this season, I was under the impression that the team that finishes last goes down with the team that finishes 9th going into a play-off with the 3rd place team in the first division, Anyone know the story with this?
Here on a technicality.

You can't spell failure without FAI
Why don't they just toss a coin at the start of the season to determine who's relegated, at least then everyone would know where they stand. Absolutely farcical. Having said that being relegated doesn't seem to mean a lot these days anyway. You still have a good chance of staying up when 1 of the premier division teams inevitably folds.
Ah now, the licensing system is a complex process, and the FAI put a large amount of time and effort into drawing up the criteria in the licensing agreement. Just because the coin toss gets the most publicity doesn't mean we should ignore all the people behind the scenes who made it all possible
Didn't see MNS .... does anyone know the full story? I wasn't aware there was a change this year to be honest. There is obviously a reason for it
The SFAI are the governing body for grassroots football in Ireland, not the FAI. Its success or the lack of is all down to them.
The last placed team in the Premier play a one legged play-off against the the 3rd placed team in the First, at the home of the Premier team. The top 2 in the First come straight up.
And then Bohs go bust and Bray are saved.
I dunno. I'm curious to see how Bray implode from second to last in the remaining three-quarters of the season. And you just know Bohs can't go bust in a straightforward manner.
No automatic relegation and the play-off is decided by chance? That's exactly the same as last season then.
As matter of interest Stu how many seasons is this now you have predicted Bohs "going bust" ? Beginning to sound like infatuation. if we were not so sh*** in court I would suggest a restaining order might be soon required.
Back on topic, Prem expanding by two teams for next season so last place (in Prem) in playoff with 3rd place in first division with top two in first automatically coming up*
* subject to FAI change up to, and indeed post, season end.
Probobly no more bored than some of us are of him dragging Bohs finances into every thread seriously looking like a fixation (whether correct or not).
Tomorrow is Friday but dont see the need to repeat it ad nauseum (even less if I wrongly predicted it on Monday, tuesday, Weds )
