    Whats the Irish for "Lost" or "Forgotten" either would be an appropiate name for the first divison.

    Yeah I liek the sound of the Eircom Irish Premiership.. if it works abroad why not use it?
    Whatever it was I am sure it was better than my plan to get out of this by pretending to be mad. I mean, who would have noticed another madman around here?

    I think "The Emerald League" has a nice ring to it.

    [QUOTE=thejollyrodger]I agree, KEEP PREMIERSHIP OUT!! Its so british it makes me physically sick.

    It needs a rebranding NY Hoop so the EL wont stand.

    Yeah but why does it need a rebranding? Whats wrong with the EL? Even the barstooler scum know what the EL is. Changing the name is a waste of time when there are more serious issues like getting convicted criminals out of clubs, uniform kick off times, proper facilities etc etc etc.

    there is bound to be a few more... there is some lame attempts here though.

    The league needs a new name (like england going from Division 1 to the English PL) to highlight that it is a better standard, better football and all the rest of the GENESIS recommendations. It will give a better chance for new sponsorship money, government money and advertisment so hopefully crowds will increase.

    Unless there is a really catchy (and easy to say) Irish word, im going to go for

    The FAI Eircom Super League.

    I think something like this would be excellent, far better than anything out of the report. I'm no great user of the launguage, but like people said, it'd be something unique to us rather then calling it the FAI premiership
