Define "fair" ??

Fair in footballing terms ?

Fair in administrative terms ?

Fair in terms of reaching the stated aims of the whole process ?

Fair in terms of potential ?

I really don't think a decision like the IAG's can be lauded or cast aside as either "fair" or "unfair" without defining on what basis those words are being applied.

Also - there's no 'undecided' option.

Steve,

Fair Result in terms of the IAG doing their job in professional manner. I am not questioning the process as that is separate issue. Fair given criteria that the process involved given we only privy to some information.

The only fair outcome, imo, is to let the league be decided on the pitch. Admittedly, I don't know all the ins and outs of GUFC (but I know they have made huge progress there...)but I reckon Craptown, as play off winners, deserve to be in the top flight, purely because they "won" this honour on the pitch.

This poll is pointless cos people are just gonna vote yes/no if their club got in, ie. Galway fans voting yes and Dundalk fans voting no

if the only thing the IAG would do was confirm the results of the 2006 season, then its existence would have been redundant.

so if your only gripe is that dundalk weren't promoted even though the league said they were... then you have little to complain about.


on whether the play-off was redundant.. perhaps a Waterford win could have saved them thus legitamising the games.

Should be a "don't know" option, as until they publish the full results and criteria we'll never know whether it was fair.

I never add don't know options in my polls. If you don't know then don't vote. Its like opinion polls that include people without opinions. :eek:

Would that be 'Fair' in the same sense that the Shels Bohs game was to be replayed in the interests of 'Fair play'?
