    What does it matter?

    You want the best teams in the PD, regardless of where they're from. UCD were the best team this season, therefore deserve to be in the PD.

    Or should it just be the best team to be promoted, so long as they're not from Dublin?

    I thought Shels had a good record against Fingal?

    From what I've seen of both sides, I'd still fancy Shels to win. Although I should stop thinking Shels have it won mid-season...

    If any team don't get a licence, I'd imagine it will mean one less of the "relegated" sides going down.

    I think that having over half the clubs in the Premier Division (and almost half the clubs from Premier and First Divisions) from Dublin and the surrounding areas, and clubs with no fans in the Premier Division, is just as bad as having disgraceful, embarrassing mismanaged clubs in the Premier Division.

    UCD are where they are on merit. They've won the games, and managed things well financially, surviving relegation in a fashion that would be beyond a lot of clubs. You seem to be suggesting artificially moving clubs into the Premier Division so as to spread the representation around. I can't think of anything worse tbh.

    You run your club in a manner one would expect from a punchdrunk boxer, you should be made to hit the canvas hard. **** the current incarnation of CCFC, and the FAI.

    The clubs are there on merit. If solvent, they should stay.

    It doesn't help when an urban area the size of Cork seems incapable of sustaining a single football club for longer than a decade or two at a time.

    I'm really not. UCD won the FD, deservedly, and so should be in the PD. Why is it their fault there's already going to be another 4/5 Dublin teams in the league.

    And there's no need to be patronising.

    Pretty sure that's wrong. We drew nil all twice with yourselves at home last season. You beat us twice in Morton.
