Oh I hope to god fans are allowed in for when the bitters and Waterford come to play in Tallaght
"You'll do what we say you'll do what we sayyyy, we're Shamrock Rovers, you'll do what we say"
And just so I'm gett this right these clubs couldn't afford to pay players and keep asking the FAI to increase the money they're giving clubs to help them with returning behind closed door but they can afford lawyers to threaten to go to court. How does that work?
It was clearly in lots of clubs' self-interest to vote for it.
Did Dundalk have a good reason? Maybe. But as I said - "No reasonable argument has yet been put forward" I think that's still a valid comment. Because no reasonable argument has yet been put forward.
It's actually amazing how the exact same Premier division fans who were having a go at Rovers a couple months ago for entering a team in the first division claiming it showed they didn't care about the first division clubs are now having a go at Rovers for voting on something that won't affect them in the slightest but helps those same clubs that apparently Rovers don't care about.
And I bet they'll still claim they aren't just annoyed because it was Rovers. The obsession is real.
Oh and on the "Rovers want competitive games for their first division team" Rovers have openly said they'd prefer a reserve league so competitive games are hardly a factor because that's not exactly likely to be any more competitive now is it.

Cant see a good reason but they do play Waterford and Sligo at the end of the second series. It would be helpful if one of those clubs was already down and one wasn't fighting to avoid the playoff.
Their first move was an attempt to wipe rovers lead off the board by claiming the first games should be erased if relegation wasnt part of the plan. The sensible take being that no relegation would result in clubs at the bottom having no incentive to win games so its odd that they now prefer an option that could have a similar, if not as extreme result. Maybe they thought they'd gone in too hard on the bottom clubs by making relegation essential and then decided to agree to the softest relegation possible.
On a different note I saw a good tweet from Dodge (ex foot.ie) last night. Its the first time since the 62-63 season since there was an 18 game season. The reason was there was only ten teams in it!
Gary Cronin is he the right man to manage Longford Town?
