Interesting map on LOI Central's Twitter showing the regions of the PD clubs next season.

Rovers being the most southern team.

As for Waterford, the club has been a shambles for a few years but what happened during the week and last night surely has to be rock bottom. Hard not to feel for the fans when the club is run that badly.

Again, a shame to see another regional club falling out of the PD because of how the club is run.

If Waterford lose the play-off to UCD, it will seriously affect the geography of the LOI for next season.  Shamrock Rovers in Tallaght will be the southernmost team in the country, which seems pretty amazing. Drawing a line from Tallaght to Sligo, Waterford are currently the only team from south of that line now Longford have been relegated. Of the 27 counties, there are only 6, that could become 5 hosting our top flight teams.  I appreciate Dublin is always going to have a minimum of 3 teams (all being well) in it, but it is clear more and more regional clubs are struggling.  Apart from a magical money tree, can anything be done to help them going forward?  

Like what? Waterford is a basket case club and Cork City wasn’t that far off either. They’ve only themselves to blame for the position their in. 
Obviously as a league it’s better to have a decent spread around the country but it ain’t dublins fault

I agree, but it seems that football in Cork has always been a shambles, football in Limerick has always been a shambles, football in Galway has always been a shambles, football in Waterford has been a shambles since the 80's.  It has spread to Athlone Town now too, another great footballing town in a mess.  While a lot of this can probably be laid at the feet of Delaney and his era, surely football in this country is better than continual boom and bust!

What do people make of James Brown's move to Blackburn u-23's? It gets him in the door of the club which is a good thing but at 23 himself, it can't be great being stuck at that level. Realistically, he'll find it hard to break into a team going for promotion; Richie Towell's situation at Brighton comes to mind, even though he signed as a first team player.

He's a professional, in a career that has a very short earning period. Can't blame him for moving to get a bit of cash while he can. Might be his last move

Can't imagine the money is great when you're signed as an u-23 player. Hope it works out. I'd have thought he was nailed on for Dundalk.

Look, at his age, he could hardly turn it down if he wants a crack at England.

He’s good, but I’d have thought a decent League of Ireland team near top of the table would be his level. He’ll be back in Ireland after the 6 months I reckon 

As for odumoso, wasn’t surprised Bolton said no. Fair play to him giving it a go, but I think he’s pretty average and can’t see even the top clubs in Ireland looking at him

Would agree there. Saw him a few times and I wouldn't say he ever really stood out.

He stands out for me - for the wrong reasons!! I think he's awful!

Mahon, Devoy & Mullins to add to the departures list. Some amount of talent leaving the league.

This may sound mad, but in a weird way  it's nice to see these young lads actually playing in the league first and not going over to England before they're an adult.

For me, that's some sort of progress whether it's as a result of brexit or not

Ah it is of course, just the league as a whole will be weaker than last season, Drogs Sligo & Bohs significantly so, all 3 the most prominent in bringing through young lads.

Interesting times. If these players moving over can make a good impact that will defo strengthen the transfer prices. Individually some will, some will not - Scales, Tierney, Cleary, Mahon involved in first team action straight away. That’s a great sign if they can also impact team performances positively. As a league if we able to generate & sell players at good transfer prices that will strengthen our league big time - Making LoI clubs viable & more robust financially. Get a positive name around our league at sun international level, lift overall standards. Let players see it as an option to develop rather than signing for u-23 teams etc. Exciting times and I think having a (hopefully) successful Kenny as senior manager further promoted “our” soccer & identity.
