For christ sakes what sort of comment is that? Do you realise if we're lucky this year the third team could be Shels anyway?

I do think the cup winners should go into the inter toto and the league 3rd place into the UEFA though, the inter toto will be around next year apparently.

We HAVE to say that now though!

Haha!
If somethign like that was to even be considered it would have to be done prior to the start of a new campaign, can't go changing it to suit our needs at will!

I agree a new league should be set up. It can be called the Drumcondra and District Hoofball, Boxing & Tantrum Throwing League.

It should consist of one club, $helbyrne.

Then the rest of the clubs could get on with playing football and trying to improve the image and standard of the eL.

i dont want to get sidetracked into which club should be in europe. I just meant that there is only really 2 clubs at a time that can do well in europe. If bohs were in europe this season, i couldnt see them going very far. Similarly if Bohs were 2nd next season or even first and shels were fourth, shels would probably lose all the games.

my point is that only 1 or 2 teams at the top of the league can do well.

A good point there about changing the cup spot to inter to to . A good idea IMO.

Great point. Sure Shels, Bohs, Drogheda etc aren't going to win the league this year. Is there any point in them taking part in the rest of the matches?

here i dont know what the problem is... im just saying that the top clubs can do well in europe but the 3rd or 4th place team (WHOEVER THAT MAY BE !!) wont.
