I don't think myself that a playoff is the way to go by any means.Having said that they do attract the crowds and generate great publicity.....as was evident in Terryland a couple of years back.Crowd almost doubled for the playoffs v Drogheda and Harps.They should be kept by whatever format the league adopts next year,but not as a way to deide champions.....mearely as a promotion/relegation decider.

If a team is in the cup final they're already in a playoff for a european and setanta spot so they don't get to enter the playoffs.

why not extend the play-off down the table to encompass more teams? Have say the top 12 teams play each other home and away and then the best team gets the CL spot....

...oh wait.
