    All right English and Scottish Premier leagues.

    BTW when does Blueshirt choose?

    I dunno... maybe when I actually do well in this damn thing?! At
    the moment I seem to be on the wrong end of dodgy VAR calls plus
    the balls they are using in the selected leagues are way too
    light. <shrugs> It seems I'm just unlucky... maybe one day?

    I'd pick the League of Ireland and the Irish League though...
    just to confuse the hell out of people. :-)

    League of Ireland plays in the summer, though, no?
    Shamrock Rovers have been quite impressive in the Conference league.

    I wish we did have more variety in the leagues chosen. Maybe 2nd or 3rd Bundesliga, or French Ligue 2 ? Or the Belgian league which seems
    suitably unpredictable this year, as is the Swiss league.

    Kind of, the League of Ireland season runs from February to
    November... so there is some overlap with the traditional
    European football seasons. But, with the big European clubs
    playing friendlies and overseas tours in "the summer" nowadays,
    you could just say that the League of Ireland has a decent
    "winter break"!

    The Irish League (now the NIFL) season runs from August to
    March, so there is a few months where the two Irish leagues
    overlap. So they are the two leagues I'd pick if my choice ever
    occurred during that time... just to be different obviously!

    Shamrock Rovers have been quite impressive in the Conference
    league.

    They've done well.

    I wish we did have more variety in the leagues chosen. Maybe
    2nd or 3rd Bundesliga, or French Ligue 2 ? Or the Belgian
    league which seems suitably unpredictable this year, as is the
    Swiss league.

    It doesn't matter to me, I'd still probably lose!

    With that world club cup thingy in the US in June & July this year it
    looks like everyone will be playing in the summer now

    You want unpredictability ? Pick the NHL for your contests.

    Yes, why does the English league get picked so often? I officially
    propose that picking the English league is banned until at least 10
    other leagues have been picked at least 3 times.

    For once, I agree with you... which is why I wouldn't be picking
    an English league if the choice ever came around to me... So if
    ye all let me win in Season 61 and 62 (or however many seasons I
    have to win to get there), you WILL get something different! :-)

    C'mon... you know it makes sense!
