In that analogy surely the LSC is the erectile dysfunction rather than the viagra?
Nice tag, but sometimes the LSC is more efficient than you might expect.
Next year's competition starts this month, and it won't be the first time the next season began before the current one ended ...

Question btw - how do the non-league sides qualify for this?
I think this pattern is fairly standard now:
In 2016, the Preliminary & 1st Rounds comprised ten junior league winners and the FAI Junior Cup winners. The four teams emerging were joined by the top two AUL clubs for the 2nd Round, and the winners then faced the top five LSL teams before the 12 League of Ireland teams from Leinster entered the 4th Round.
I don't think Athlone will be involved in the 2019-20 competition til 2020. Pretty sure there was an occasion in the 80s then a Bohs-Pats final went a replay which was held over until the following season. They then played each other in the following season's LSC before completing the first season's competition with the replayed final
The guy doing the scheduling for the LSC is the apprentice for the guy doing the loi.
Bohs/Bray Final in the 1988/9 LSC was 1-1 aet on 18 Jan, Replay 07 Aug was 1-0 to Bohs. Both teams played the First Round of the 1989/90 competition two days later.
But in general, that did happen quite a bit, and not just with the LSC.
Correction: That was the only time in the LSC before the present set-up, it happens frequently since the LOI and the Junior/intermediate seasons diverged.
It happened often enough in other competitions.

Have Bohs withdrawn from competition as hearing Athlone have qualified for final.
Apparently so. Not sure why, just play the u15s if you're not bothered.
Upwards to the vanguard where the pressure is too high.
Bit unfair on North End United after losing the 1/4 final
