It’s as if someone wrote it after about 15 pints.
If the likes of UCC and UL were to join the third Tier, with Limerick FC integrated the into the youth national leagues, a UL & Limerick FC merger could potentially qualify for a First Division licence.

A Championship: 4 years - 8 first teams - 0 financially ruined. First Division '14: 7 first teams.
Opportunity lost for new clubs/regions to join the LoI family.
They spelled 'Poorball' wrong.Originally Posted by nigel-harps1954
UL would have to much brains to align themselves with Limerick FC
Interesting paragraph in today's Sunday Independent report on yesterday's FAI AGM, where Mark Scanlan discusses the third tier plans - he says he prefers not to consider it as another layer of the LoI, as it would have links down as well as up, as part of a broader discussion on a pyramid. He still hopes to be able to launch next year, but (and this is my personal opinion following) better to accept a delay of a year or two if necessary to get all stakeholders onside, rather than rushing to meet a self-imposed deadline and having to rewrite plans.
Of all the consequences of the Ukraine/Nato v Russia war the granting of extra play money to Paud is arguably the most serious.
They've probably lost two dozen players since the end of last season between kerry and treaty and whoever
I'll be amazed if there's enough players left out there that want to joins pauds travelling circus that are anywhere near the required standard to even give a LoI team a game.
That comment is out of order on so many levels LTID
You'd be well advised to stick to the footie & leave the Mick Wallace tribute act stuff outside.

I cannot stand Mick Wallace for the record.
It's important that's clarified.
So stop claiming NATO is at war with Russia. Stick to the football, rather than make cheap political points.
"Stop saying things I don't agree with on a discussion forum."
You're bravery is needed on the front, you're wasting precious time!!
Anyway, third tier - is there any reason whatsoever why a strong junior team would have any interest in climbing the ladder? I don't see a financial motive (quite the opposite!) and even from a prestige point of view, like I'm sure if you said to any junior club would you rather win the fai junior Cup or be solidly mid table in the league of Ireland first division they'd choose the former.
The problem isn't just on the junior side either mind. If they ever try to make it compulsory for League Of Ireland clubs to field a reserve team you'll have delegates immolatting themselves at the table rather than agree. Eventhough a reserve team would probably cost the same as a decent striker. But clubs can't take the longview when it's a day to day problem just trying to keep going.
As I type I realise I've no answers
I think reserves should be compulsory for a few reasons. But I don't think it'll ever happen at the same time.
Regarding new clubs, talk to me about kerry in five years, could be well wrong but I don't see it.
Don't get defensive when you are called on lies and misinformation. Russia alone is reponsible for the invasion.
And unlike football, many lads, women, and children are currently being murdered because of it.
LTID of all posters is well able to stick up for himself, but where did he say anyone other than Russia was responsible for what's happening right now?
And the amount of offence being taken at the notion that the NATO bloc is (rightly) helping out in the background/by proxy is bizarre.
He said ''Ukraine/Nato v Russia war'', as if all sides are equally responsible.
And yeah, people normally get pretty tetchy about an attempt at genocide that is happening right now.
I think you're reading your own view into that first line tbh. I don't see anywhere in LTID's post any indication of who's responsible.
And it is a NATO/Ukraine v Russia war in reality. I don't see Syria/China/Iran mucking in in support of Ukraine, do you?
The internet would be a better place if people didn't think getting offended constituted a valid argument.
If you are going to make a statement like that you best be correct....
You are wrong though. NATO has not fired a single shot, so why would they be included? If your argument is NATO countries (not even NATO itself) is supplying weapons to Ukraine, why would you not say it is Ukraine vs Iran/ Russia? Thats because, factually it is a russian invasion of Ukraine, not NATO. Ukraine is not a member of NATO and has many times offered never to join the organisation (which countries in East Europe do because of Russian agression).
By using NATO wrongly in this context legitimizes Russians actions by saying there aims are grander than what they are (which is just rank imperialism, which is why they attwcked Kyiv and Odessa).
I know this is a football forum, but even still i feel it only right to call out misinformation about a very important conflict and huge human suffering, no matter how well intentioned. You can make up your mind about an issue anyway you like, but its important to do this with the reality.
Mod can delete all comments if he wants tho.
The dark blue countries in this map are the countries supplying weapons to Ukraine
The dark blue countries on this map are NATO members
Fairly big crossover, don't you think?
I think most people can understand the subtleties behind why NATO isn't in and of itself involved, and yet see that its member states are giving huge backing to Ukraine, and so conclude that it's entirely reasonable to describe the conflict as, to all intents and purposes, NATO/Ukraine v Russia. It's certainly not reasonable to jump down a poster's throat for such a comment.
And speaking of lies and misinformation, I trust you'll be retracting your own comment that LTID has somehow suggested Russia aren't entirely to blame for this. You wouldn't want to be spreading lies and misinformation, would you?
Though then I read stuff like -
- and realise that maybe you do just want to project your own views onto LTID's post. Because that comment is nonsense.By using NATO wrongly in this context legitimizes Russians actions

It'd be over in 24 hours if it was a NATO/Ukraine v Russia war in reality. Its very simple really, NATO are not at war.
Arms supplies are irreverent. Iran and North Korea are not at war for example, even though they supplied Russia with weapons and drones.

Ladies and gentlemen, I give you the Internet.
Kiki, your opinion, (which is all the above post is) isn't worth thruppence to me or anyone else on the forum for that matter.
There's a Current Affairs forum if you really feel the need to be soooo earnest.
I'm not going to debate you there or anything. But it is there for you if you need it.
The reason I referred to it as the ukraine/nato v russia war is because it obviously, demonstrably, is.
But feel free to refer to it as "The war in the East" or "Ukraine v The Axis of EVIL" or "the war of the buttons". Whatever is cool with you basically.
Try for your own good not to get so upset by statements of fact though.
Even if they're on the Internet and you think you can gain virtue points by misinterpreting them. : good :
Third tier anyone??
