On the record

“In relation to the reserve teams, the main issue, and this is relevant to all the top club, is that you’ve got players on the bench who aren’t getting a game. That must be frustrating for managers who would want their players to be match fit but the structure simply isn’t currently in place to facilitate those players.

“In order to be competitive, clubs must have relatively big squads and for those unable to keep players match fit week-in, week-out, a reserve league would be beneficial.”

Stuart Byrne thinks League of Ireland teams would benefit greatly from having reserve sides.
