    What game was that? Against us? Prob the stewards were really doing their job well and forgot to tell the people in the shop not to sell bottles with the lids on.

    Well since u r not always the most coherent of posters I couldnt be sure.

    I apologise to that child who lost the use of his bottle top....such a major incident like that should have been reported to UEFA and a scandal such as that would definately have put us out of running for the new Premiership.

    Jaysus NY Hoop.....every opportunity you get u slate Mons.....grow up a bit will ya.

    we have backed it up. there is a strong rumour out there that our pals mulden have set a date for you to leave tolka. they were the mystery investor and are cashing their chips.

    the normal reaction from a normal fan when they hear something like that is to ask for a source or more details, publically or privately.

    and then their is your reaction.

    One? This place is full of them. But to be fair it makes it a much more interesting forum when people whinge over everything.

    Once again, I would point out that I explicitly said I wasn't concerned about conspiracy theories, but rather the whole (a) unfairness of the scheme, (b) vague voting system and (c) incompetence of the FAI to administer it in a matter which will keep it out of the courts. sullanefc was the one who brought up conspiracy theories ("This would dispel much of the accusations from UCD fans that the FAI are trying to make out the scoring system to suit certain teams."); I merely responded (and thus entered the conspiracy theory debate) by saying that (a) I hadn't been saying there was a system to suit certain teams and (b) even if there were, sullane's argument was still nonsense. I made one comment about how it was rather interesting Shels were the one team to benefit - that was tongue-in-cheek, if it needs to be spelt out. We're all big boys here - surely we can grasp meaning without the use of smiley faces every few lines?

    Of course, people will always say what suits their own argument...

    Surely Shels since they have announced they are leaving Tolka should be scored on their new ground, not their old one. Thats why I asked what exactly the plans are. It would be very unfair to be allowed into the league on a basis of using Tolka when everyone knows they won't be there.

    OK, so it's about blatant incompetence AND conspiracy theories.

    Still don't see where you get your confidence in the FAI to administer these proposals and usher in a shiny, happy new era of fun and wonderment, given past experience and the way they've handled it in the past few days.

    Am finally getting the chance to respond to your posting below now PS.

    Last time I looked, this was a web forum. Where people come and post their views on things. Mostly football.

    I have presented perfectly coherent and well-structured arguements for what I see happening in Irish football at the moment. You disagree with them - which is your right. But rather than tackle me solely, or even primarily, on the issues concerned - you instead seek to belittle either me or my points. It's clearly the UCD fans who are most animated in this discussion - and rightly so. But the other UCD fans seem able to engage in the debate without having to resort to belittling the poster or their viewpoint. We disagree on something. That doesn't necessarily mean either of us is "deluded" or making "unintelligble points". Understand that, and deal with it.

    Well done you on spotting what was obviously a typo. No really - well done. 'Let he who is without typo, cast the first stone....' . If only we could all be as type-perfect as you.

    Quote Originally Posted by Pineapple Stu

The capacity criterion will not "most probably rise" in "a couple of years" to 4000 or 5000. There is no basis for such an increase. You only think there is because you're comparing seated capacity and safe capacity, which we have seen are different things. In addition, capacity can't increase quicker than it can be built, which we have already seen from various clubs' plans is longer than a couple of years. Further, there is absolutely no reason to believe that attendances at any club will necessitate such an increase in "a couple of years".
    The premise of a lot of the UCD arguement on here is one that Irish football is the way it is now, and that's what we should be planning for. It's labelled as 'reality' or 'pragmatism'. However - whilst none of us can understandably predict the future, it would be naive to think that standards both on and off the pitch in Ireland won't get stricter, in both the medium and long terms. This is where the writing is on the wall. Licensing and this FAI plan are not one-offs in a vacuum - they are part of an ongoing process of mandating improved standards in our game. If we all only work with the current situation in-mind, then surprise, surprise - the current situation will largely prevail.

    As for the point on attendances - that's a whole post on it's own, so I'll come back to that later.
