[Scrufil]

Sounds like a great show :)

No-one else to do it because I have to do it in Irish! Then again no-one complains because most people don't understand what I'm on about! (Actually this applys when I talk in English too!) :)

[Gareth]

Tut, tut it's "imminently".

Edit: Changed now. Glad to be of service!.

If Derry do get relegated, its going to open a whole can of worms in the LOI. Speaking to an unnamed DC player on Thursday, he told us that 4 to 5 other clubs are paying backhanders to their players, if this is the case then not only Derry but the other clubs in question should all be hammered. Maybe now Delaney will take an interest in the league, Derry rightly will be relegated but Cork have been in the high court 4 times this year, and nothing happens to them, Bohs are in a worse financial state than ourselves but nothing is mentioned. Our problems go back to the days of jim Roddy and he couldnt wait to run the minute he knew there was trouble financially. Pat McDaid has played down our problems to the fans when the fans needed to know how bad a shape our club was in. What was the point in collecting money at the last minute when we are £600k in debt were they hoping for someone to drop half a million in2 a bucket. JOKE

News has been imminent for the last hour, whats going on?

[Dodge]

Flexy, concentrate on your own problems and don't worry about the rest. Pats tried the 'everyone else is doing it' defence and it didn't work for us either. And our transgression were merely paperwork

not trying to dry that up, just commenting on your post

[Dodge]

News has been imminent for the last hour, whats going on?

The meeting. D'uh

when the news conference starts we'll all know. Calm down

[Schumi]

Could jurisdictional issues be got around by a "Muff City" applying to join the A Championship?

[Weatherman]

There keeping it a secret!

[Mr A]

It'd only be a matter of time before they got a reputation for 'simulation'.

The FAI operate on Tuam Time. You being a Galway fan might have heard of Tuam Time. Everything happens on time in Tuam, in their own sweet time!

[Mr A]

Things looking good for Comber there.

[Mr A]

'That's it from the ladies- not too good lookin'

Woot!

[OneRedArmy]

Put us out of our misery.

So I can turn this bloody radio off!

[Gareth]

I connected to that radio stream for a minute. He keeps intersecting his talk with the worst f'ing jingle. Is he mental!! :) It's so annoying

[Mr A]

Great result for Phoenix Swifts.

[Rovers Maniac]

That jingle is going to be in my head for ages now, it's brutal :D

[dortie]

I didnt realise we had a fecking hockey team....lol !!! Jesus wept ! Noel is a fecking LEGEND lol

[GUISAUltra]

latest

15:20: Brendan is waiting patiently in the company of 14 or 15 other reporters. Eoghan Rice of FAI is also waiting in the room. Wouldn't you love to be a fly on the wall in the FAI Board meeting....

[Hairy Bowsie]

Great result for Phoenix Swifts.

I've had my fingers crossed all afternoon, i cannot tell you how nervous i've been. Great result. G'wan the Swifts!!

[OneRedArmy]

Local table tennis coming up after Smokie.....

Living.
The.
Dream.

[Hairy Bowsie]

He lost me when he played Smokie. What bloody era does that man live in?

[gufc2000]

15:32:Sean Connor's departure from Dundalk occurred at 2pm today. Not the news expected at 2pm. There are reports in today's papers that Kildare County will not be able to fulfil the fixture today. We will confirm or deny that now with the FAI. According to Shelbourne, the fixture is going ahead. More on that when we get it. The meeting continues...

[Scrufil]

I hope they gave Sean Connor a good send off. All Red cards containing €50s welcomed.

[Weatherman]

Does anyone think the FAI just left and didnt tell anyone???

[gufc2000]

15:40: A general sense of restlessness passing over the awaiting press. FAI are still in the meeting.

[WoodquayBoy]

The biscuits are obviously too nice to leave behind

[sligofan4ever]

He lost me when he played Smokie. What bloody era does that man live in?

Breaking News: He is playing a song that wasn't recorded over 30 years ago!

[Scrufil]

Relentless restlessness rattles.

15:46: I've stocked up on tea and Toblerone. Whilst we await any news, or any news on the lack of news, we are interested in hearing your thought and suggestions on the site and how you found it throughout the season and how you think we can improve. Email extratimelive@gmail.com.

[BonnieShels]

Have to say... exciting (not in a good way) last day to the season. Brings me back to the good oul days of the licencing decisions. Roll on February. I pray to the heavens that Derry survive in some form.

[galwayjames]

[RonnieB]

And im getting worringly sober.

[Mr A]

They're having a break FFS! Reconvene in half an hour.

Not going well for DCFC though, based on a sort conversation through a window, no less.

[BonnieShels]

Still nothing... Argh. i need a coffee.

[RonnieB]

Was reading in the paper yesterday that between Cork, Derry, Pats and Drogs in 2008, wages totalling the guts of 9 million euros between them. Complete insanity.

They said in the Independent yesterday that Pats spent €2.25 million on wages last year, which is even more staggering when Bohs, who are supposedly in very bad financial trouble, only spent €1.8 million in comparison.

Jesus. It would be interesting to see if you added up the wage bills for all the premier division teams what that would come to.
