Defunct League of Ireland Clubs

Limerick Commercials did indeed win the 1887 All Ireland Championship....

It says so in Wikipedia so it has to be true!

This may be slightly off thread but you lot seem the guys that would know the answer. When Dublin City closed shop what happened to their league points for that season?
Did their points stand and was a walkover given for all their remaining games, or did their games to date (and their unplayed fixtures) not count in the league tables of that year? What year was it anyway? :ball:

It was 2006 and their results were "expunged" (The exact world used) so all previous results didn't count towards the final table

Thanks Dodge.
In our local league one team has gone belly up after a few games. We were the only tean that has dropped points to them. It seems that the league wants their existing games to stand (and give a walkover for the games yet to be played). This effectively gives everybody a 2point advantage over us. I was hoping to use the recent Dublin City example to get us back square.:)

If I remember Cork City were not happy at the time as their rivals had dropped points to Dublin City were effectively upgraded by the ruling - like we would hope to be.:D

Apologies if this went off thread, but as it turned out the people in the know were here. Thanks again.

It was Shels (in particular) who were not happy, as Derry leapfrogged them, having lost to City. Not that there was anything slightly unusual about Shels complaining about something.

(I think you are off thread. However.)

Leinster Senior League deal with this situation regularly. They award 3-0 win to the opposition from the time the decision to withdraw/not continue with games is made

In season 2007/08
Check Sat Major 1D, Rathcoole Boys, results
http://www.lsl.ie/viewresultsdsept07e.aspx

Check Sat Premier, 'results' of Shamrock Rovers
http://www.lsl.ie/viewresultsdsept07e.aspx

Both suffered 3-0 results at the end of the season, but other results stood.

Wayyyy off topic but the LSL have a rule that if you leave the league with less that 10 games played all your games are null and void and you're removed from leage and have to re-apply. If however you have played 10 or more games then your results stand and all remaining games are 3-0 losses.
