New League and Championship Format

[Dont Matter]

The greatest idea of all times but I can't explain it well enough. Either that or ye're all dummies or that the idea isn't that great. Or maybe I'm a genious who's way ahead of his time. I'll stick with that.

I think that's the most likely reason

If a change is that complicated lets stick to the current format.

It's not complicated, you're all just idiots.

Don't you know change is bad?!!

In fairness, there's no harm in coming up with alternatives to a system that is so lob-sided and becoming predicable at provincial level anyway where gap seems to be growing....

I understand it.

I know you mean well.

But you're forgetting the basic rule behind what makes something worth winning: i.e. that everyone else wants to win it too.

All you are doing with this concept is ensuring that a lot of football would be played that players wouldn't care about, and spectators wouldn't attend.


I've a very simple theory behind what do with the national leagues. Until managers and players stop treating it like a second rate competition, then administrators, sponsors and spectators should treat it like a second  rate competition. So it will either rise from the ashes, or simply disappear. With the former it's a good thing as the football would be worth watching. With the latter it's a good thing, as the club game would get stronger. Any artificial resuscitation methods though should be ignored.

Well I knew you would. Whoever's in charge of the education system in all the other counties should be ashamed of themselves.
There's never been a Laois Taoiseach because all you fools don't recognise intelligence.

Under my proposal the National league would include the Provincial championships. Everyone wants to win their Provincial championships.
If you lose in your Province, you still have the back up of playing league matches in your division and getting ready for the All Ireland championship.
