Do The Powers That Be Read Foot.ie ?

The FAI banned STIG from being sold in Belfield Park because we published an article implying that Shels were in financial trouble.

Should that not of read........"Ollie Byrne told the FAI to ban STIG from being sold in Belfield Park because we published an article implying that Shels were in financial trouble"?

[Longfordian]

Would it not have been that the article dared to question the FAI not doing anything to prevent said trouble?.

To be honest, STIG went through a Shels obsessed faze where we had something on them in most issues.

Very prescient of you; that's exactly what happened.

Ironically, Ollie never read the fanzine, as far as we can work out, but saw the front cover in the programme, where we used to carry a one page ad for STIG. Needless to say, that was also banned.

And I'm just waiting for Maribor's contribution to this thread...

The whole league went through a Shels obsessed phase for a while, as we watched them rise and rise all the while knowing that they were millimetres from the massive crash.

I seem to remember them denying that outright (though I forget when & where). It may be more accurate to say that UCD were leaned push STIG out the gate. Nothing on paper. Asses covered.

All fanzines are banned from being sold in LoI grounds!

It was because of that.

[stann]

Just as a bye-the-bye, is there a current STIG going to be available at the match Friday? And if so where will it be sold?

You want to check with Angus on that, the new editor in chief.
