FAI cant deduct us points for a matter which has nothing to do with our results or position and thus could only fine or impose a ban on us!
Dundalk must pay out compensation to former player Dave Rogers by Wednesday of next week or face sanctions, a Friday morning newspaper has reported.

I can't see a points deduction but, as John83 says, the FAI can refuse a licence over outstanding money due to a player.
Plus, Dundalk lost the case fair and square, do they intend to ignore the court ruling?
The court ruling came out in favour of ROgers and suggested that we pay him an x amount but it didnt say we where legally bound and had to pay him this amount. Although he will be seeking it it would seem senseless for us not to pay this amount as if it goes to court alot of legal costs will therefore accumulate!
I have no doubt either that Dundalk will pay, but will be in no rush to do so unless that newspaper article is correct about possible sanctions.
While I might be wrong about this, my understanding was that the FAI Dispute Resolution Chamber (DRC) was a non-binding arbitration hearing, and therefore the award recommendation could be rejected by either party. In this case Dave Rogers would need to take further action to pursue his claim.
All football disputes are settled by the dispute resolution committee. Its a condition of arbitration that the decision is legally binding and not able to be challenged in the civil courts. This directive is from FIFA and covers the FAI.
Dundalk appear to have ignored a binding court ruling. This is against FAI rules. I'm fairly sure they could appeal to the FAI or the court of arbitration in Switzerland but they don't appear to have done that.

Hunky Dorys Park - could be worse, we could be going to Old Trafford every other week
To Dundalk fans: Has Dave not offered to take his payment in monthly installments in light of the clubs financial plight, Instead of taking a lump sum, (which he is entitled to) making it easier on the club?
Im only going on hear say but it would be interesting to hear what Dundalk fans have to say on it.
Frank And Irene should slap a transfer embargo on Dundalk until January 2010.
That'll show them!
