    And, speaking of the champions-elect, this needs a place in this new thread.

    Good timing, Giggles. If Harps beat UCD tonight we secure 2nd place and home advantage second for the playoff. My fiancée is over tonight but I'm hoping I can convince her to come too.

    Piss poor turnout in Cork tonight. Maybe Rovers won't be the only club team telling RTÉ to ram it.

    Nice, still an outside chance you can make the playoffs too. No fight left in UCD after tonight's battering. Not sure who I'd rather face.

    Small chance. Early home form left a huge uphill battle though.

    This Dundalk team must be the best that has been seen in the country. Be interesting to see what happens if 2 or 3 head over to England.

    We've got the big North West derby on Friday night, which is going to be awesome. I'm expecting the place to be packed out. We've added quite well to the squad, including former United U19 captain (I think) Ryan McConnell. As usual we're worried where the goals are going to come from, but solid defence is the route to success in this league, I reckon. We'll get pasted by the best sides, though.

    So glad we're out of the First Divison.

    You bastard Shels basically have a bunch of kids looking at the squad. Hopefully the few loans from Rovers pan out as they really need to get out of this mire.

    Taz would be all over this lad like a rash though.

    It was a weird game. Derry were awful, First Division standard. We weren't much better, but were just stronger all across the pitch. So good to see the Derry fans leaving after we got the second with 15 minutes to go. Pitch wasn't great, the ball was hardly bouncing at all. We'll take the 3 points, though. Great start.

    Dundalk will probably tear us apart at their place next week.

    Shels carried on where they left off last season. Didn't make it as I was at a gig but I'm heading up to Athlone next weekend, get a better handle on what they're like.

    What's special about Ireland in terms of work permits? I thought Belgium was the place for that sort of thing.

    That's a bit mad. Who started it all?

    Harps really do play some eye-bleeding stuff.

    I'd say they need to, but eve at the top it's eye bleeding.

    That one tonight was strange in the ground. I've witnessed a few outside but it's normally only there.

    2:26 Ashley cole picks up two yellow cards inside 33 seconds. First card at the throw-in was for time wasting. Not sure how the referee figured that out when la galaxy are above sporting city kansas in the league

    Players putting their hands in the referees chest like that. Should be handing out red cards all over the place.

    Judging by the other midfielders in the squad, I can only imagine there's a raft of injuries or it's a league cup game.

    He's done fairly balls since he's been there but in hindsight it was too big a step up really. Needed to go lower like Forrester.

    Didn't even make the bench I see. Definitely needs to suck it up and go back to dominating over here again. Or at least go down a division there.

    This is an old post, but we'd be better amalgamating the entire non-English leagues into one league. The League of Ireland can get involved too, as can the Channel Isles. The concern would be costs for away matches for amateurs / semi-professionals, but at least you'd have some improvement in the level of competition.

    I'd say the travel costs would make it too prohibitive. Only way it could he done would be to use a handful from each region and drop the rest to their respective national amateur levels.

    It's a non-starter, given they'd all be terrified of UEFA / FIFA kicking off that they don't have their own national league.

    As above.

    I went to an Irish League match where there were six away fans. You wouldn't have the demand.
