Great news. They're a powerful organisation and hopefully something can come of this

Whats it to the English PFA?
Whats it to the English PFA?
They might still be PFA union members?
I also think they may be trying to pre-empt a FIFA crackdown on short term contracts of less than 6 months which supposed to be illegal but ignored in England.
They might be but surely they'd have no juristiction in Ireland. AFAIK trade unions cannot work outside national borders. maybe its a typo and Cork mean the PFAI

Damn those unions, eh Pete? Always trying to shift the goalposts.
Since both of them played in England they are still(i think) members of the PFA.

PFAI have been very quite on this one haven't they, you'd swear they didn't even exist they have been so quite. Maybe they have different priorities though.

PFAI launch Healy, Farrelly appeal (http://www.eleven-a-side.com/eircomleague/irish_soccer_detail.asp?newsid=27554)
Good luck with it.

The English PFA are spearheading this.
The PFAI, Cork City and the FAI have contributed statements etc.

Think I'd rather have the English union at the forefront here. I'm guessing they have more clout than the PFAI.

The logo eleven-a-side had up beside the piece was the one for the PFAI.

Should move the Valur home match to July 1st and give the lads a run out the previous week for Colin Ts testimonial.
Makes the decision not to go in with the FAi even worse now

I doubt the result would have been any different.
It was for the other players, including those who came from English clubs

As im sure you know coming from English clubs wasnt the problem. As explained in the piece above the unrecognised loan deals were......so the cases were very different from any of the others.

The FAI did nothing at the start so City would have been accused of inaction then. What other players came back from Britain? :confused:

This rule has always bothered me. What about the movement of people across borders within the EU and also the right of workers to work in any country within the union. Denying people the right to work seems to be in breach of all forms of human rights or are Cork paying the wages ( I know Colin Healy was signed on a pay as you play contract). If I want and am lucky enough to be able to work in three Financial Institutions in the one year, is there anything to stop me.

The court ruled against Cork and their appeal so Healy and Farelly are still not able to play until July but more importantly FIFA won't have to pick up their wage bill from when they signed but were not allowed to play.
Just a disgrace for UEFA, FIFA and the Court of Arbitration, one rule for the big powerful G14 clubs and another for the smaller "less significant" clubs!

I dunno, oone of them :oThere was one other, Derry signed some chap from the Irish League but it still stands that the same outcome would have occurred if we had gone with the FAI.
He was passed cos as micls correctly stated it was the loan deals that were the issue with our 2.

Disgraceful. FIFA are standing firm on it now that it suits them.

Cork should have brought Fifa to a real court because what Fifa are doing has to be illegal surely?

It was the PFA that took up this case, CCFC could not afford to take on FIFA.

Not a great decision. Thankfully from Corks point of view, July is only a couple of weeks away.

Looks like the lads are now in line to make their City EL debuts in Terryland on July 6th.:cool:
Hopefully they'll take a while to adjust!

Maybe so but as the deadline for the IT Cup was last night we'll miss them for that now aswell.
Should we go a round or 2, and have league games postponed we might not see the "FIFA 2" in action untill August.
€70,000 in wages and counting

League Cup QF against Bohs on 3rd July I think.
Debut match for the "Two" no doubt.

You're neglecting to factor in the UEFA Intertoto Cup.
Should we progress to the 2nd round, our game against you will be postponed.

What makes you think City not go in with the FAI?
In the couple of press releases the FAI issued about the case they mentioned all ten players.
Anyway I doubt if the backing or otherwise of the FAI would have been decisive in the CAS decision.

Where did you hear that from?
AFAIK, they''re free to play from July 1st.
They're probably already registered for it.

You can't register a player without full international clearance
Think the inter-toto deadlines are flexible enough though
We are being Ridden Rock Solid by so many people at this stage we should be making money out of it. :mad::eek:

They have clearance, it begins on July 1
Tonights Echo says that Rico has a game planned in Bishopstown for the 2 lads tomorrow night and also hopes they will play for the U21s in Lifford on Sunday with a view to lining them up for Bohs away next Tuesday.
Can't come soon enough.
I'm sure the Bohs lads will give Gareth a great reception. :D
