    Yeah, saw something about the Inter toto being scrapped due to lack of interest from big leagues.

    Even though clubs from Germany, spain France and Italy enter it!

    Don't know if its definite or when it will happen.
    I'm what? I'm ants at a picnic?

    If you are adding 2 or 3 games to the end of the league season then they have a very short spell to rest before they need to work on fitness for the Intertoto...

    But our league finishes in November and Inter toto doesn't start till June so that seems like plenty of time to me.

    The best way to make the league more interesting and keep games competitive is decent prize money. Rooney needs to be given a chance to get his million euro prize money idea off the ground.

    1st €200,000
    2nd €175,000
    3rd €150,000
    4th €100,000
    5th €85,000
    6th €70,000
    7th €60,000
    8th €50,000
    9th €45,000
    10th €40,000
    11th €15,000
    12th €10,000

    On these example figures, there is a lot to play for in the 4th to 10th places, even though Euro competition may not be possible.

    FAO: Shels fans....

    Listen lads, quite clearly I'm impressed by your achievements in European competition this year... I want to bring you back to some familiar ground and hope to knock your little chip of your shoulders before it turns ye upside down.

    This isn't me standing up for LTFC. It's me standing up for something which I know is right. I don't know your profile. I'm only 5 or so seasons into the eL, so we're talking recent past.... Can I ask if any of the members of this forum are from the Red Brigade I hear so much of?

    On the pitch,

    I remember Ollie closing the riverside for fans just to make european nights look as if the place was packed to the rafters.

    I remember a last minute defeat to Hibernians.

    Record in all european games....

    TotalP: 8W:3D:10L:25GS:31GA:73

    Off the pitch,
    I remember Ollie having to negotiate a deferral of wages because of cash flow problems. Then proceed to sign 3 or 4 quality players....

    I remember the fact that the floods at Tolka were termed a financial disaster...

    I remember you guys winning the league by default due to an administration error in Emmet road.

    Someone add to this, well ****ed off.
