Reducing the league to 7 teams is an interesting idea. It might even allow for the another 3 series of matches to be played

I know you struggle with this but I very specifically said Sligo and Waterford as a whole and Pats owner as an individual
At least the Rovers players will soon be back to full pay, having had a 25% pay cut imposed on them by the Rovers board, even when your club had the resources to pay them fully. That'll be nice.
They're looking for a way to get rid of him immediately, if possible.
Oh I hope to god fans are allowed in for when the bitters and Waterford come to play in Tallaght
"You'll do what we say you'll do what we sayyyy, we're Shamrock Rovers, you'll do what we say"
And just so I'm gett this right these clubs couldn't afford to pay players and keep asking the FAI to increase the money they're giving clubs to help them with returning behind closed door but they can afford lawyers to threaten to go to court. How does that work?
I am not privy to the discussions before the vote, but was it in Dundalk's self interest to vote for the 1 up 1 down?
Perhaps they voted for it with good reason after the decision had already been accepted to severely compromise the league schedule format.
It was clearly in lots of clubs' self-interest to vote for it.
Did Dundalk have a good reason? Maybe. But as I said - "No reasonable argument has yet been put forward" I think that's still a valid comment. Because no reasonable argument has yet been put forward.
It's actually amazing how the exact same Premier division fans who were having a go at Rovers a couple months ago for entering a team in the first division claiming it showed they didn't care about the first division clubs are now having a go at Rovers for voting on something that won't affect them in the slightest but helps those same clubs that apparently Rovers don't care about.
And I bet they'll still claim they aren't just annoyed because it was Rovers. The obsession is real.
Oh and on the "Rovers want competitive games for their first division team" Rovers have openly said they'd prefer a reserve league so competitive games are hardly a factor because that's not exactly likely to be any more competitive now is it.

Cant see a good reason but they do play Waterford and Sligo at the end of the second series. It would be helpful if one of those clubs was already down and one wasn't fighting to avoid the playoff.
Their first move was an attempt to wipe rovers lead off the board by claiming the first games should be erased if relegation wasnt part of the plan. The sensible take being that no relegation would result in clubs at the bottom having no incentive to win games so its odd that they now prefer an option that could have a similar, if not as extreme result. Maybe they thought they'd gone in too hard on the bottom clubs by making relegation essential and then decided to agree to the softest relegation possible.
Managing a whole post without any expletives (and only 1 barb) is unusual for you
You want to "**** off" the owner of St Pats who bankrolls the club, but also keep them in the reduced 8 team league - brilliant
That David Roe their treasurer must be getting appearance money from OTB hes always on it!
I thought they were one of the better run clubs?
Gary Cronin is he the right man to manage Longford Town?
On a different note I saw a good tweet from Dodge (ex foot.ie) last night. Its the first time since the 62-63 season since there was an 18 game season. The reason was there was only ten teams in it!

Sligo Rovers fundraiser hits 30k in less than 24 hours. The local community steps up to back them again.
And the sligo treasurer continues to laugh up his sleeve. His teams UK imports can get paid now-the same lads who have them on the bottom of the league.
Shamrock Rovers- Where trophies are won and envy is scarce
What is it with the Dale Farm? Here they are after rigging the league for themselves and the bitterness is more bilious than eva.
Oh yeah I forgot it was impossible for football clubs to change ownership...
Off The Ball sponsor us
Great to see the community backing their club , sligo always was a great football town.
