It's been so long now since the last scandal that, this is a real welcome addition to an otherwise dull and uneventful off season.
Mods way want to delete this as it's a rumour, but I got a text that Bray have lodged a complaint against Fingal winning the play-off in the basis that Darren Quigley was on loan from Derry and that since Derry held his registration he should not have been available for selection after their contract with the league was cancelled?
Again, may be nonsense, but I found it interesting.

Jaysus, is this month a lodge complaints month or sumit?!
This was mentioned the night of the 2nd play off match by various journos at the match and was posted on the thread about the match. I've heard nothing since.
If the Fai are banging on about fair play then surely oh surely this appeal will be a success
We'll win this cup yet...
Life without Rovers, it makes no sense...it's a heartache...nothing but a fools game. S.R.F.C.
Dahamsta, I wish to formally lodge a complaint against Dillonman. He seems to think he is from Yorkshire.
I can picture him walking around Dundalk with a scruffy woolen hat, tatty trousers and a pair of wellies whilst constantly screaming out, "I love thee Nora Batty" like some sort of torrette patient.
Sorry to go off topic but I couldn't resist the urge
What is it about oddly surreal remarks on here today?
They wont get a replay off the fai,never !
Ahhh
Soure?
Or is a text acceptable??
Sad from Bray

IF - Quigley was out of contract with Derry City on the day the season ended then Bray, Shels and Sligo have a point. Under the loans Derry would pay Quigley and Fingal would pay Derry. What Fingal pay Derry may be less than what Derry pay Quigley , (completely separate from the two contracts crack). But if this is the case, Quigley finished with Derry on last day of league season so technically he was not registered with any club on the day after.
The loan agreement would either say the end of the 09 season, which would suit Fingal, or a specific date, and if its a specific date, then Fingal could have a problem if that date was the day the regular season ended.
I don't care tbh. Just want to forget the Cup Final.
We lost, time to get over it.
I'm slightly torn.
On one hand I don't want to see Bray (undeservedly, on the pitch at least) stay up at the expense of another club because of an off-the-field incident.
On the other hand, Quigley was possibly the single player most responsible for us losing the playoff.
I suppose it depends on what actually occurred. If the loan was until the end of the regular season, and Fingal kept Quigley beyond that date so he could play in the playoff, I'd be just about okay with the result being overturned (or playing a replay). If it was a minor technicality in teh registration process resulting from Derry's expulsion from the league, it's just nit-picking from our board, and I would rather play in the first division next season than stay up like that.
