    Little bit longer of a jaunt for The Man Himself than for yourself though holidaysong!

    I've no strong feelings about it either way to be honest, there's pros and cons with both, but just about prefer the Summer ball I think.
    Getting the b****x frozen off you for four months of the season kind of outweighs a lot of the winter pros.

    on relity though it is best pitches hold up better and allows for more football rather than hoofing
    We control by attitudes positive mental attitudes not by rules.

    Ballybofey in July v Ballybofey in January? No contest. Anyone who wants a return to a winter season is either a masochist or an idiot.

    Speak for yourself!

    Oh, you were?

    Ah bugger.
    That question was less stupid, though you asked it in a profoundly stupid way.

    Help me, Arthur Murphy, you're my only hope!

    To be quite honest, I think it is ridiculous to be debating over summer v winter football. There are clearly pros and cons for both so arguing for the return of winter footie is counter-productive imo. Some people are never happy.

    Well there's very little difference . We still get frozen on dark nights in March, October and November, even with so-called summer soccer. If your team is unfortunate enough to make the Cup Final you get your buns frozen off you in December. And there is little to choose with the climate cause it piddles with rain most of the summer here anyway. I prefer watching football in May, June and July to watching it in December , January and February. All the other months were played in the winter season anyway, so that's ostensibly the only difference , three months.

    I thought he was a Longford fan for some reason before I spotted his RSC thread.

    Yeah and I'll have a degree in it in in 6 months time. And from a proper university too, not a UCD one.

    You have to spread them out amongst the other NUI though, unlike us good folk in Trinity.

    It's called the cup FINAL. Therefore, it should be played at the end of the season.
