message: Does anyone know what the case would be regarding the transfer of Euro qualification slots if the league winners (who would qualify for the Champions League as a result) were also to win the cup? Would the UEFA Cup spot up for grabs in the cup be transferred to the loser or would it somehow be transferred to a team next in line in the league standings? Logic tells me the former, but you never know with the FAI.--Danny Invincible 16:56, 17 December 2006 (UTC)

message: I'm completely rewriting this article because it's full of nonsense and legal speak. Nearly all of the article was about the merger with the FAI before I changed the title to its correct name and started editing it, as this article was previously titled the "FAI League of Ireland", implying that the league was a new one and the material mirrored this. Anyway, here's a load of excessive detail about the merger which I removed, if anybody wants to use it. Onetonycousins (talk) 21:47, 25 October 2009 (UTC)

message: I have removed the Ulster Banner being used in this article as the league has no teams that represent NI in the league. As can be seen here UEFA use the Irish Tricolor to represent this team. Mo ainm~Talk 12:06, 6 August 2010 (UTC)

message: The manual of style for Ireland-related topics states that, where confusion may arise, Republic of Ireland should be used rather than Ireland. Given that the League of Ireland is the national league of the Republic of Ireland (not the whole island), the intro should therefore used Republic of Ireland. Confusion could arise because, in sport, Ireland is usually treated as a single unit. Football is an exception. Also, in football terms, "Republic of Ireland" is the UEFA- and FIFA-recognised name for the 26 counties. Mooretwin (talk) 21:44, 12 December 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: "national league", the clue is in the name. O Fenian (talk) 22:12, 12 December 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Except the name is ambiguous. "National" can relate equally to the whole of Ireland as it does to the Republic. Especially in sport - Ireland national rugby union team being an obvious example. Please have regard to IMOS and self-revert. Mooretwin (talk) 22:17, 12 December 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I have read it, and do not now, nor will ever, agree with your edit. O Fenian (talk) 22:21, 12 December 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: You are admitting, therefore, to a straightforward unwillingness to abide by WP policy, as your claimed reason (above) for insisting on the "Ireland" piping disguise is not valid. Your motiviation for this must be left for others to infer. Mooretwin (talk) 11:01, 13 December 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Because of the unwillingness to engage in discussion, we need input from other editors. I've posted a notice at WT:IECOLL. Mooretwin (talk) 11:23, 13 December 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: You mean you are canvasssing for support already because I was too busy to reply when it suited you? There is no ambiguity, there is no other national league for assocation football that covers the whole island. O Fenian (talk) 17:43, 13 December 2010 (UTC)

text: I agree.  "National league" means it is not an all-Ireland league.  And the Rugby article clarifies in the opening paragraph that it refers to the entire island.  --HighKing (talk) 18:00, 13 December 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: If the rugby article clarifies that it relates to the entire island, then all the more reason for this article to clarify that it relates only to the Republic. It is obvious that there is potential for confusion here, which the IMOS policy is designed to cover. Mooretwin (talk) 20:59, 13 December 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I disagree.  That's the very thin edge of the wedge of potential confusion, and there's no ancillary evidence that suggests that readers are confused.  Although I'm not even sure how we could even demonstrate whether they were or not.  Since Northern Ireland and the island of Ireland aren't mentioned in the lead, leave as is.  --HighKing (talk) 00:26, 14 December 2010 (UTC)
