    With Derry v Glentoran passing off peacefully before 2,000 fans the other nite, a game with linfield now planned for the brandywell & the Setanta Cup between 3 clubs from both EL & N Irl league on the way can we have an all Ireland league before say 2010. Surely this is the way to move forward now that we have a bit of momentum going.
    I remember both European & Texaco cup battles between my club Waterford & Linfield, Glentoran & Crusaders. Bits of trouble back then but great interest in it all the same.

    I think an all ireland league would have it merits but draw backs too.

    Were going to loose European places,
    There will be problems with national teams (UEFA: national teams must have their own seperate leagues AFAIK)
    There is no guarntee that the crowds wil increase

    some of this has been discussed

    Im not sure but I think there was a thread about this a couple of months back , I think its best and more practical to stick to just a Cup tournament .

    The Sentanta Cup is going to be very important, if all goes well and there is a big turn out then there may well be a case for one all ireland league.
