Another one bites the dust. Looking like Shamrock Rovers B will take their place.
I think these New Caledonians on the BBC website have covered up their sponsors.
Shit could get very real soon. I think the debt figure is up to €62m now.

That would be amazing.
In like a flash for the scrap.
Absolute shitter of a weekend to kick off the season. Also, I know it’s for TV but Bohs v Rovers on a Saturday afternoon just seems weird.
If it goes ahead it’s going to be brutal anyway.
It goes ahead but RTÉ have pulled out because of the wind and won’t show it on telly. What a league
Jesus.
If the rumours are right about only 100 tickets being available still for this Rovers Dundalk game in Tallaght, it must be the biggest crowd at a LOI game in years. Should be a cracker anyway, pity McEleney isn’t fit.
That equaliser from Flores was seriously tidy.

Some hit that. Brilliant.
That was a cracker of a game after. Not often the TV ones end up decent.
I thought I'd seen every possible type of goal but I'd never seen that one. He must have an elastic groin.
I didn’t cop for a couple of replays that he managed to get high enough to hit the ball downwards too.
Winner wasn’t too shabby either, but that’s standard for Byrne these days. Great to see him still playing at all but he could have been so much more with a better attitude in his younger days.
Spineless twats.

Ireland is like a little America when it comes to football fandom, which they don't seem to get. You'd have to abolish Celtic, Liverpool and Man U before you got a chance for the domestic cash grab some of those people seem desperate for. Just play football and let it be what it is.
We don’t need to join up with another league for a start. Us + NI would be no bigger than either on their own so, as you say, just get on with it.
Even apart from the big 2 English and the Scottish club, it’s only the second sport here anyway (counting both GAA codes as one).
It's an odd one. As you say, a merger between 2 lower leagues achieves nothing. You just know they'd try to turn Dublin vs Belfast into a budget Liverpool vs Man Utd as well.
It's all just opening doors to the Champions League replacing the top tier of domestic Leagues. Load of shit.
This is sadly not even surprising any more. The Delaney legacy lives on.
Strange. But better than nothing and hopefully it’s televised/streamed.
It's why I wish the FA pressed on with finishing the cup competitions first. Less games, less risk.
The FAI have some neck.

I do miss following it - especially the European qualifying games - but I ain't going back.

Maybe not.
I can live with €55 for the rest of the season.

Up and running, better than nothing anyway.
Ryan Manning looks to be on cusp of blowing, second time I've seen him linked to prem (West Han today). Thought he was AML when Galway picked him up but seems to be operating as a LB these days.
Think he played a little bit in midfield on a recent loan down the leagues but does seem to be settling on LB now. Hopefully, we only have Enda Stevens.
We played Hanoi last night and fucking pumped 0-3. Absolutely shocking reffing, deffo on the take.
Both of these handballs were ignored...
Woeful stadium.
We’re back
Sounds brilliant tbh.
First weekend. Didn’t take long.
The LOI hashtag is too close to LOL. It really makes the tweet.
LOL is usually fairly apt for the league. I think it’s kind of deliberate at this stage.
A kids coach
He's Italian though so must be a managerial genius.
Come back to me when you've got him pictured sitting on a coolbox.
