    on the other hand dundalk's value has dropped from a valuable 10.5 to 8.5. Currently Dundalk should they progress are seeded in *all* three qualifying rounds but 8.5 would not have been enough to be seeded in the 3QR this year...


    The lowest seed for 1QR was 2.25 so Bohs/Sligo who are currently on 2.0 should make sure they qualify/progress so that next year or the year after they are able to build.

    How are clubs and teams etc not getting their house in order to take advantage of what consistent participation brings..

    Since Rovers got the bye to round 3 of the ECL should they lose to Bratislava they are actually already guaranteed 2 points for this year, so their seeding will be at least 6.5 for next year.

    This is kind of one of the best things about the league I think, it's so unbelievably competitive and no team has a god given right to succeed (ala PSG/Juve/Bayern/Celtic). Dundalk and Cork seemed light years away only a couple years ago, now they are so, so far off the pace. Obviously the same 3/4 teams qualifying for Europe every year would be better for our European ranking. But I do really love the jeopardy of this league and how hard it is to have sustained success, which is what makes Dundalk's recent run so impressive.

    The draws have been pretty kind to all teams this year so should be quite hopeful.... However the league is utter tripe, so this could end up being an embarrassing year.

    Feel free to drag this up when all four teams are in the group stages.

    Bohs v Stjarnan in Lansdowne Road.

    That's an unusual decision - is it to increase the number of people who can go to the match?

    Yes. Hopefully 5,000 crowds at that point .would make for a useful pilot .

    I heard it was because Bohs fans wanted to see the inside of the Aviva and the FAI in fairness obviously felt sorry for them

    Aviva or Tallaght to increase numbers that can attend Bohs would bust the budget to use the Aviva. 5k would be enough to cover all season ticket holders + some.

    Bohs have a 100% winning record in that stadium!

    Both Starnan and FH are not up to much this season, though considering Bohs' record in Iceland they might be revisiting that decision to switch venues for the return leg.

    It's easy to say, but not so easy to do. Other clubs have the same idea, so spend increasing sums of money to make Europe. So you also have to spend more and more each year just to stand still. It all becomes a financial arms race, and things inevitably go wrong at some point for some participants (Shels, Cork, Derry etc).

    We've seen what happens when clubs think they can just dominate the league to make continual progress ion Europe.

    I wonder if the FAIA has done them a favourable rate on the rent ? They might surprise us.

    Nah Shamrock Rovers FAI would never allow that, exclusive rights on pilot schemes in Tallaght and all that, and its Bohs!

    Away goals rule abolished.
    I'm delighted with that tbh i found myself sitting in Tallaght crapping myself every time the opposition came near our goal and i never really felt the opposite to that feeling when Rovers were away from home.
    Probably says more about my mental state than the actual rule.
