The Great Segunda 2016

do elaborate.

Should the Germans not have poked the bear after the WWI reparations? Should the great train robbers not have appealed their ludicrously harsh sentences?

Proper justice is never handed out in the heat of the moment, and Iā€™m sure @count_of_monte_crist will have time to reflect on this over the Spring and Summer. So, for the time being, Iā€™m going to park this right here.

Right count day one in the job and the existence of the league is under threat.

Weā€™re being asked to end the segunda to help the other struggling leagues. I think this could lead to a drop in banter and craic that would see numerous posters losing interest and the all leagues slowly dying. Id propose the other leagues deal with their own houses, vote themselves on culling non contributing posters. As the non contributers wont even vote in such proceedings it shouldnā€™t be hard to get rid of them.

As to change i vote NO

are you @count_of_monte_crist??

I can confirm that i am not

Ok, fire away.

Well chaps log your votes:

Yes: is to review the new format which will be proposed by a ā€œtask forceā€ of 2 members from each division

No: is to keep the segunda the way it is and let the others all rot

@Gman
@Bandage
@Clixby_Bream

@Chucks_Nwoko
@Crutches
@Lazarus
@Sandymount_Red/@Matty_Hislop

@count_of_monte_crist
@Scrunchie
@ChocolateMice/@Mark_Renton
@Special_Olympiakos

So can you confirm - A yes vote is simply to ā€˜reviewā€™ the current situation and not necessarily agreeing to changing it?

Yes, i dont see any point in acquiescing to a system which we know nothing about.

The issue is whether to abandon the segunda or not, all else is window dressing. No harm deciding that quickly.

Great - In that case I vote yes. Iā€™ll dip my toe in the water and see what way the wind blows for now.

No, itā€™s not, pal. We hold the keys to our destiny right up to the bitter end.

So youā€™re saying vote as whether to enter talks, then vote after whether to accept the results of them?

I still vote NO

Yes- See my last post in the other threadā€¦ we can wait for the rot to set in or act. As is, @Special_Olympiakos is gone and @Clixby_Bream very rarely posts - so we are already down to 10 postersā€¦ My good friend @Crutches also rarely posts but heā€™s going nowhereā€¦ another two no marks come in at seasons end for regular posters and you are down to 8/9 etc. etc. But look, i donā€™t mind either way. I love this league with all my heart.

The acting you are proposing would quicken the rot. We have a league next year with 9 regular quality posters, you want that spread out across three leagues?

No - we are culling non active members and replacing them across the board. As is, Badwinner and Carryharry are in.

I vote YES.

@maroonandwhite, I urge you to take some pain for the greater good.

This is about forward planning. However, The recent news coverage of South Galway sadly suggests that they are missing such foresight.
