    Shane Long Suspended (Merged)

    Not sure if I heard this 100% correctly, just caught the end of the
    TodayFM sports report on ther way into work.

    Said something about Shane Long was actually suspended for the
    Slovakia game he sat on the bench for and this new revelation may
    overturn the 2-2 draw in favour of a 3-0 home win.

    Also, he pulled out of the Cyprus squad with a mystery injury as he
    was actually suspended for that game but they had already named
    him in the squad!

    I haven't heard anything about this. He did not dress for Reading on the weekend so I'd say he really is injured.

    Suspended for what? He only played 2 games for us before the 2-2 game and never got booked.

    He was suspended for cards he picked up at underage level.

    Well then I presume they're talking about the Slovakia 1-0 game rather than the 2-2 game?

    I remember he got a 5 match ban for spitting but how does that work? You could put a case that he's eligible for the U19s, U21s and seniors. Does he have to wait until 5 U19 matches are played before he can play for Ireland again?

    His 5 match ban was sometime in 2006 i think after being sent off v Turkey.

    If true this would have to relate to the home game v Slovakia. Still very bad news if true and it would be an almighty cockup by somebody.

    Hardly Stans fault if it is true. Somebody in FAI admin should have spotted this.

    Its in todays papers aswell about it. a 3-0 result won't be given to Slovakia because Long didn't actually come off the bench but supposedly he was suspended for it and if he made an appearance in the match (the 2-2 draw) the 3 points would have been given to Slovakia. If this turns out to be 100% true it'll be one of the biggest **** ups ever or will have been close to being one of the biggest **** ups ever anyway.

    Shane Long did play against Slovakia at home .. nearly scored twice .. or when did the suspension start .. I'm confused at this stage.

    It wasn't the home match it was the 2-2 draw over there as far as i know.....all this is very confusing alright.

    Shane Long picked up the 5 match suspension well over a year ago playing for the U19s.

    It can only have still applied in March as we played 3 U19 games in May and he'd already served 3 games of the ban in Sept 2006.

    The story must relate to the March game. If true it is a monumental cockup by somebody in the FAI. This is unlikely to be Staunton's fault unless he missed a fax.

    The rankings are based on the FIFA rankings not on your group position. You really shouldn't believe everything a certain muppet says in postmatch interviews.

    If Slovakia are awarded a 3-0 win then I assume this will retrospectively be represented in the rankings also. We could well slip to 4th seeds as the rankings are quite volatile.
