    The League formely known as the Chicken League of Ireland

    The One Last Chance to make it Work League

    The Premiership ( and every club changes its name to one in the real premiership- might draw in a few unwary punters)

    Unfortunately, there are two juristictions in Ireland. The one to which you refer is the Republic of Ireland. The other one is also Ireland and is also Irish, and they had the name 'Irish Legaue' first (over 120 years ago, when it represented the whole island).

    By 'the other side' you mean they have a British identity. Yes this is true, but it does not mean that an Irish identity doesn't exist alongside it. It may not be the mono-ethnic Nationalist/Catholic/Southern type of Irish identity, but that's not the only kind of Irishness that exists.

    How about:

    'League Éireann' or 'League Sacar Eireann'? I know its Béarilge, but the word 'sraith' is too difficult for non-Irish speakers to say/understand.

    Ok patsh
    History lesson

    1989 Roy Keane signs for Cork City on a Friday
    Plonk fecks off to Old Trafford for a ManUre Match and doesn't bother to submit the registration form till Monday

    Roy Keane signs for Cobh Ramblers on a Saturday Ramblers submit their form by registered post before close of business at the Post Office on Saturday. Therefore they have him registered before City's form reaches Merrion Square.
    Result Roy leave Ramblers for Nottingham Forest rather than City.

    Alles klar?
