League Of Ireland Discussion Thread

Yeah capping prices to €10 is pointless. Some say €15 isn't a good price for the standard of Football, but the clubs need the money. Even if it was €10 there would be no difference to attendances.

The fixture congestion in an absolute joke. Does nothing to help the players and ruins attendances. Something needs to be done about it.

 

is there any hun teams in the league of ireland ?

 

Derry City

 

i assume the answer is no then ?

 

UCD

 

Correct.

But that does not mean they are all Tims either.

 

Very good interview there. Very balanced insight into life as a player in the league in general. Just wish the FAI would really get their act together and work with the clubs on improving the facilities first and foremost as most League of Ireland grounds are really very poor.

 

What sort of rivalry exists in the league then ? who hates who and why

 

Why does rivalry have to equate to hatred ?

Who do you hate and why ?

 

I think 15e is an alright price especially when you look at prices across the water with most clubs in league two charging more then league of Ireland clubs and even clubs below league two charging £17 like Halifax Town. The standard of football may not be high quality but it can be exciting at times, how boring has a lot of premier league matches being this season especially United's first couple of matches in the league which literally put me to sleep and costs you probably 30odd pounds for the cheapest ticket.

 

Theres no hun teams in the LoI. From experience and travelling to games the biggest Celtic support would come from Rovers, Bohs and Derry and this would be followed by Pats and Dundalk.

 

I never said there was hun teams.

 

Shamrock Rovers would be a hun team scummy *!!

 

Wow, anything to back that up with or are you just a fan of a bitter rival team

 

I agree, your just as likely to see a great game in the LOI as you are in the EPL. Sadly a lot of people in Ireland expect too much quality from players who earn very little money. €15 is a fair price.

 

Probaby the biggest rivalry in the league is the Bohemians v Shamrock Rovers Dublin derby. It is mostly a north side v south side type think rivalry wise.

 

No more huff and bluster from this genius so

 

Everybody hates Shamrock Rovers, mainly due to the fact they have a large amount of scumbag fans. Id say if you looked at 10 random instances over the past 10 years where trouble occurred before/during/after a game, Rovers would be playing in at least 8 of them.

The Big Rivalry's would be
Shamrock Rovers v Bohs (Main Derby in Dublin)
Bohs V Shelbourne
St Pats V Shamrock Rovers
Shamrock Rovers V Limerick
Shamrock Rovers V Dundalk
Derry v Finn Harps (North West Derby)
Dundalk V Drogheda (Louth Derby)
Athlone V Longford (Midlands Derby)
Derry v Sligo
