20 matches!
How would the Shield work with 11 teams? Groups of 5 and 6? 4 and 4 and 3? Invite in some junior sides?

If Limerick have legally shown they shouldn't have been denied the chance to apply for a licence, then the clubs piping up about this is irrelevant.
What will likely happen - unfortunately for Limerick fans - is that O'Sullivan will have his licence denied and it'll be back to 10 teams

I assume some kind of legal barrier must now exist to kicking Shams B out of the First Division right? Why else would they still be trying to accommodate them?

Its very inconvenient on the other 1st Div clubs here who don't know where or who they'll be playing.
The FAI were at fault here.
You can't refuse to let a club apply for a licence & the court showed that.
They should have left all the clubs apply for licences & then give them to the clubs who fulfilled the criteria.
But logical thinking was never an FAI strong point
What happens to season tickets when a club ends up with a 20 game season?
10 home games and selling season tickets for 14/15 home games.
This could get very messy indeed.

And bear in mind that I haven't heard a withdrawal of the threat to refuse to play Shams B. So it could yet be an 18 game season!

All 9 clubs wrote to FAI saying they will refuse to play Rovers B. Will Pat O Sullivan agree to do the same?
Refusing to play Rovers B is just daft.
Don't see how. No licenses have been issued yet so therefore Shams B aren't actually in the league yet. Like Limerick and all clubs they are allowed apply for a licence to compete in the league.
In fairness though licenses should be done and dusted before teams even get back into preseason.
