2021 Fixtures

[Lim till i die]

12 teams!

Really positive stuff.

It's great to see clubs clawing one another to get involved in the league now that the new shiny Delaney less FAI are running it and running it well.

Wait.

Surely not...

Six months I give it

All this to keep rovers happy 😡😡😡😡

We are just desperate to play Galway

Never went as low as 7 teams. 8 was as bad as it got.

Agree on Dublin County alright. If nothing else, they've 5 weeks to put a team together (and an underage structure). They'll either be crap or full of random foreigners no-one's heard of or would generate interest. It's not the way to enter the league.

In 2014 there were 7 clubs plus Rovers B.

Just because 12 clubs are awarded first division licences it doesn’t necessarily mean they’ll be 12 clubs in the division. The FAI will decide next week who they’re going to invite which in itself is utter ludicrous.

It’s absolutely disgraceful the process is drawn out for so long. Hugely unfair on teams, it’s impossible for some teams to plan for the season. And then at the last minute they’re left with a few weeks to pull a squad out of nowhere. Huge disincentive for when it comes to attracting established clubs to join up.

Has the February 22nd deadline day been extended this year?

Well, that's 8 teams in fairness, no?

Daniel McDonnell thinks Dublin County didn't get a licence, it'll be a 10 team division.https://twitter.com/McDonnellDan/sta...804111364?s=20

It's Treaty Utd in, Shams 2 out.

Where I can watch the league on TV, abroad? Or some streaming options?

Main platform particularly when games are BCD, keep an eye on the site for updates.
https://www.watchloi.ie/

RTE Player for games being broadcast on TV but a VPN might need to be used in some cases if abroad. Eir Sports also cover some games so subscription needed. Some betting websites have poor quality streams. Some clubs may cover their own games eg preseason but ye'd have to keep an eye on club media for details, or indeed here on Foot.ie where details are likely to be posted.

I know nothing of any other sites or methods to see or stream games games without having a sub or tv licence!!

Thank you! I see watchloi has not updated its offer for the next season. I'll keep an eye on it.

Its a fairly brutal finish to the season for Drogheda.... Bohs (a), Dundalk (h), Rovers (a).... More than likely thats the top 3...

Sligo (a) before that. I know there is only 9 teams in the league... but I dont think you could have asked for a harder finish to the year than that for Drogheda.

Could be banana skin games for those clubs too - Drogs could end up being king makers.

Drogs have made some class signings this preseason. I expect ye guys to have a great season imo!From listening to your chairman on the airwaves ye are in capable hands and a likeable bloke Conor Hoey Vincents son who was an ex chairman!
