Is the league of Ireland that much better?

Just watched Derry City beat Shamrock Rovers in a quite entertaining game. Both teams took the ball down and had goes down either wing as well as playing some good counter attack football.
I watched Sligo Rovers beat Shamrock Rovers a couple of weeks back and same thing.
I've never seen an Irish League game played with that amount of skill and ability. Its usually up and under with big Center Halfs battling with Center Forwards.
Now it may be just style and flair but it seems that the League of Ireland is way better than its Northern counterparts?
Is it not about time these leagues joined forces and hopefully the standard of local soccer would be raised.

Shenandoah, I'm not saying your Jonny Adair but you seem to have some notions that don't conform to rational thinking.
Anyways being political isn't a bad thing and things could be worse you could be Megan? Norn Irons version of Sarah Palin.

Magan/Allmykidsaredumbasstumps/Barry/Daniel/Britsout you have no idea who anyone is and you certainly haven't a clue about social interaction so pretending like you do just about sums you up.
If you had the keys to a rocket something tells me you'd take it for a ride?

The league in ROI is blatantly better than NI league....at the moment.
However, things were a bit different back in the days of the great Vinny Arkins.

Swings and roundabouts.

Aw don't get me started on Vinny, my hero, one of the greatest to ever play in the irish league for sure.

But I've said for ages now that the LoI is better than our own and you can see it from the crowds they get, television coverage, quality of players etc etc. The Irish League gets no attention in Northern Ireland media except for when there are riots.
