The DVD is the mass media tool of the future. You heard it here first.
We'd just get Nick Lesson on board and you'd run from the trigger of PTSD!

My plan for yer demise was going to be to try get Nick a job with the club and just let him do his thing!
I suppose like a lot of fans that used them, DVD's created a high quality and some came with special features, and you could skip from one scene to another and you never had to rewind.
Now you're coming round to the correct way of thinking ! Once you see the future, it can't be un-seen (much like walking in on your parents having sex)
Okay, not sure where you are going with that, so I will end this as you should!
Cardboard cutouts at every entrance would do the job!
For the 20 National League clubs that will emerge, having academy sides should be part of the licencing for the League of Ireland eligibility.
If a Second Division is going to be formed eventually, currently only Mayo, CK, Kildare and possibly Shamrock Rovers B still jump out as likely contenders.
The academy leagues have had a good national spread. It'll be interesting to see the influence academy plans has on the criteria for 20 clubs joining the National League. It should be central.

A Championship: 4 years - 8 first teams - 0 financially ruined. First Division '14: 7 first teams.
Opportunity lost for new clubs/regions to join the LoI family.
Is there going to be an exemption process for some leagues with 'The Football Pathways Plan'
So, we could have a Third Tier Division plus some leagues operating on different timelines, how can this work!
Well considering there’s no plan for there to be relegation from the Third tier initially at least, it’ll work exactly how it’s working now, just with an additional tier added to the LOI. It’s essentially lowering the basement

and letting the riff raff move in!
relegation from the second to the third tier will make the 2nd division more compeititive IMO but i assume the promotion will be dependant on minimum standards of stadium etc
In the current scenerio where Athlone will prob finish bottom it would be a shame to see them go down and a team with crap facilities come up.....there is a lot of talk about miniumum standards for the 3rd division but that could lead to very few clubs being elegible for promotion
We are already used to the riff raff moving in , we had Pats over last week and like most unwanted visitors they arrived early and then we couldnt get rid of them
The only way things will ever grow and improve is by setting minimum standards and sticking to them. It happens widely in other countries and should also be the norm here.

Well thats an interesting and useful tactic by the FAI, fair dues.
Love to give them a kick every now and again, but its a good move from FAI.

It's hardly a particular novel insight but I do think this is the kind of downward pressure you can put on the grassroots to get on board with the aligned season certainly at an adult level and certainly if the National League is a success and expanded by another tier or two. FAI is claiming 78 leagues and 1160 clubs outside the LOI your never going to get them alligned and into a pyramid in one sharp shock and even then there's a query of if you'd want to. Setting raising standards and the ambitious will come along
The kids game is where the most benefit is and I think is way harder to solve
Great move by the FAI and will force teams to train through the summer if they want to be compeititive in the big cups......next move from there seems obvious.
Could happen that it means the premier division of LSL for instance goes Feb to Nov but the more social divisions stay winter....i suppose from an FAI perspective if they achieved the top divisions on Summer schedule does it really matter if the lower ones arent in step........obviously better if they were but in the imperfect world we live in etc etc
