The official eircom League 2006 Season Guide will be published in tomorrow’s (Friday March 3rd) Irish Daily Star.

The 64-page, full-colour magazine features an exclusive interview with Republic of Ireland Senior International Manager Steve Staunton on his thoughts on the eircom League, his plans to assess the international prospects of the cream of the domestic game’s talent and on eircom League players who’ve moved on to clubs in the Championship, Premiership and SPL.

The guide includes a two-page feature on each Premier Division club which comprises a season preview article, player focus, manager interview, full fixture list, club info, contact and travel details and ten-year League record.

Each First Division club has a full-page feature which, just like the Premier Division teams, comprises a season preview article, player focus, manager interview, full fixture list, club info, contact and travel details and ten-year League record. There’s also an extended feature on Shamrock Rovers as they face into their first season out of the top flight and on Dundalk who’ll be playing their first full season on the artificial surface at Oriel Park.

There are also features on the eircom League’s top strikers; Premier Division and First Division previews, the full and complete transfer list, amalgamated league tables since 1985, the League Roll of Honour since 1922, a look at the Setanta Sports Cup, a feature on the men in black – the eircom League referees and a report on the Irish contingent – including former Cork City strikers Shane Long and Kevin Doyle – at Reading.

The official eircom League 2006 Season Guide – free with tomorrow’s Irish Daily Star.

Really looking forward to the Star tomoro!

Hope they dont make what I see as a gaff like the Mirror mag did....they have an ad for RTE on the back cover. Nothing wrong there I hear u say, but this is a magazine to promote the game in Ireland and hopefully encourage people to go to the matches, this ad talks bout how u can have all the results, news etc in your own home! Armchairs sports fans how are ya!

I still miss the Annual.

Best part was always the All-Time Premier Division League Table with the running points total since 1985 for all teams. Note to Delaney: Surely this is the only fair method of selecting next season's Prim-Éire Liga teams.

I agree whole heartedly with my non biased friend.

In fairness you'd think the PFAI might be able to get fairly up to date squad lists for all teams rather than just incomplete ones for the premier and none for the first.

I may have been still asleep, but I thought I woke up to the voice of Pat Dolan telling me the Star one is out today.
I don't normally wake up to the voice of Dolan, mind.
