So it makes no sense to argue that despite all these really evident advantages, that League One is somehow not a better league than the LoI.
The bottom line is that for all Burke's lovely technical ability, he scored once and the other guy scored 22. In the end of the day, the job he's being hired to do is score goals to help his team win - and he's clearly not up to it. Style of play is nowhere in his job description. If everything went on playing lovely football, UCD would be in the European spots each year and Pats would be relegated. But that's not how it works out in reality.
