    Rovers B are fickle when it comes to long term commitment stuff

    If Limerick United get a license you presume it will be at the expense of Rovers B.

    That is if the club's don't kill it off quicker by refusing to play them.

    Could it be Limerick and Dundalk B to join the league for 2021?

    I cant really see Dundalk adding the expense of a B team. It would be good in terms of getting game time for squad players or those returning from injury of course. But without an extensive academy i dont see much real attraction - I'd rather see 100k spent on some tidy up of the ground!

    It makes sense to the Rovers business model of developing academy players for sell on so could justify cost.

    It's not just sell on to be fair we have trained kids for years and have to let the majority of them go at 18. A pathway is needed .

    Didnt take it as a dig its the normal honestly held view within the league.
    For anyone up around roadstone who sees the kids from 8's up it is really clear that we don't want to have to kick them out at 18 just because they arent ready for the first team.
    An extra year or two playing in the first division will help them finish their development to the point they should be ready.

    I hadnt actually considered that very valid angle. The big difference between Rovers and large schoolboy clubs is the direct route in to the senior game.

    As a fan of another First Division club I really couldn't care less about Rovers' entering a team in the First. If they have the resources and feel it's of value and it'll aid in the development of talent for Irish football then more power to them. My only concern would be the limitations on first teamers dropping down. This should be limited to window. Even if it weren't I wouldn't lose sleep over it. Is it their intent to play their home games in Tallaght?

    3pm Saturday kick-offs in Tallaght stadium is a great shout in fairness. Interesting to see how it works for them, but it's certainly very family friendly.

    Compared to 14 season when there was Friday night kickoffs. Great idea this!
    Gary Cronin is he the right man to manage Longford Town?

    Won't happen. Proper procedures have been followed if the club's decide to boycott we might as well give up as the next time the fai try to impose a rule that teams aren't happy with there will be another boycott. Someone has to actually make decisions and run the league even if a minority aren't happy.
    Pretty quickly the 2 or 3 clubs who are really against this will be isolated

    As soon as walkovers and fines are dished out for not fulfilling fixtures, some clubs will give in and play. Either to avoid the fines or they think they get an advantage over their competitors who haven't played.

    The whole handling of this however still smacks of the old regime. Is Fran Gavin still in office? I haven't seen anything about him being replaced.

    I agree the clubs would cave before the FAI (is even in administration), and tbh for the leaue to function it kinda needs the FAI to stand firm to prevent chaos with such a precedent. That said there needs to be a building of trust where clubs majority decisions get a fair hearing and not be railroaded in to something they dont collectively want.

    I was wondering where Gavin fitted in to the whole 'new' FAI as I'd see him very much as part of the old regime yet there is little mention of him. I presumed it was because he was an employee rather than a voting member of the board so escaped the purge!?
