LOI in Europe 2013-2014

 

 

I suppose the question is, are these countries improved structures now bearing fruit? Or are these just "blips" which our own recent successes now look like? I would say for ourselves it's a case of two steps forward and one and a half steps back in the past two decades. Until we make serious and deep-rooted structural changes in Irish Football at every level, not just LOI, then we will merely go on performing heroically occasionally, but ultimately being bypassed by what on paper should be "lesser" leagues.

 

Must be said, Derry gave a great performance last night, especially the first half. But I couldn't help thinking when it was still 0-0, jeez Derry are really gonna pay for not converting these chances. And on the field that "cutting edge" is one of the primary differences between ourselves and superior sides.

 

 

That is seriously depressing to read  

 

At this rate, We will have to "pre-qualify" for the Champions League by way of the 1st round against the mighty Andorrans & Faroese. We need some sort of concerted, united campaign by the clubs and their supporters for radical change.

A relatively simple step, would be move the league break in June back to mid July. What's the point having a break, especially in a year with no International Tournaments, during June, but then having games cancelled, fixture pile-ups and European preparation disrupted in July??? Fcukin brain-dead stuff

 

The league needs to act with one voice and demand change or we're fcuked for the foreseeable future.
