Shels Game in Doubt

[Citymark]

See http://www.redbrick.dcu.ie/~jw/21-2-4.htm

Report on Johnny Wards site, that Shelbourne are threatening to pull out of this Sundays match against CCFC due to the fact that the Marney Decison was backed up by the HIgh Court earlier this week!

God what will they do next? Sulk in the corner! :D

[Ruairi]

I like "the Dublin club has apparently lost confidence in the eircom League". So what are they going to do? Pull out of the entire league? They should stop whinging and get on with it.

[ccfcman]

this will carry on until they get their way,which unless they go to the supreme court then they wont

[dalo]

what a bunch of knobs. if shels pull out of the game then they should be docked points fined and threatened with expulsion.

christ who does ollie want to get a ruling from next - God almighty!!!!!

i orginally had a lot of sympathy with shels on this one but it is time to show a bit of dignity and get on with it. after all the orginal decision was (/b)not(/b) to dock pat's points

[patsh]

This is just bullsh*t..........They will not pull out of the game
$hels would only be shooting themselves in the foot.
Who are they going to play with?
f**king Linfield?....... :p

[ccfcman]

or mullingar town?

[pete]

$hel$ have really done it this time i think.

I disagree with Pats keeping the 9 points but after the high court decision i think its got to end there.

I know Ollie Byrne can eb a big hotheaded from time to time but threatening to pull out of the league (that essentially what they doing) is childish.

Still can't see it happening though.

[Pablo]

well that nine points could cost city a place in Europe......should we be supporting them?

[dalo]

well as far as i know city supported shels motion in the first place. but when the high court have amade a ruling one has to stick by what they say.

as for on the pitch at this rate we be lucky to finish 4th as it is

[pete]

Sure if $hel$ pull out we could even get a uefa spot now. :D :D

[dalo]

i like that man's way of thinking ;)

Probably! :D

[niamh]

typical really. They are threatening to pull out of the league altogether...but what are they going to do after that? Invent their own league? At least they would be guarannteed to win something...

[Gary]

well at least they have the balls to stand up for the league by disputing it. Pats BROKE THE BLOODY RULES, THEY SHOULD BE PUNISHED.

[mouldymurphy]

didnt they say the same with their cup tie id say its all a load of boll** all talk but no action :mad:

I thought Ollie is God............ :D

[dalo]

if the game doesn't go ahead will city get the 3 points and will i get my train fare reimbursed off the sheliban? :D

[vlad]

maybe we could convince some of the city players to join the protest and not play on sunday! Most of them seem to be on strike against playing good football already!

[Ruairi]

Why don't $hel$ take their case to UEFA or FIFA?

[derm]

if the game doesn't go ahead will city get the 3 points

Oh, that brings back a few memories ... surely de league could not stand up to another major controversy in d same season :D

The governing body has no authority to award points but they can take them away - not that that's stopped them in de past!!!

[niamh]

Someone is going to lose eventually. If Shels do win, Pats will appeal. There can be no winner - only a restriction on the number of losers. The fact remains that they fielded an illegible player and City have suffered under that rule in the past as well.

As for Sunday's game, I think it will go ahead. Shels are just trying to make a point.

[To the tune of "Country Roads"]

Ollie Byrne, F U C K off home,
To the place, you belong,
Mountjoy Prison, Dublin 7,
F U C K off home, Ollie Byrne.

...as sung by the Pats fans earlier.
