We're not talking about the lost city of Atlantis here......

A lot of Cork people sound like their talking underwater.

Has there ever been a mention of a points deduction for Cork over all this tax issue, court appearances and not paying full wages ?

I dont think it would be fair for them to be allowed compete in Europe if they finished 3rd or 4th after everything that has gone on.

If everything's paid up at the end of the season, they'll be in the clear. To get a licence, they''ll need a tax clearance cert, and no wages owed.

Of course, they're subject to the 65% rule to, and who knows how they're doing there?

Thats nothing on the same night we playing Deportivo in Lansdowne, roughly 22,000 thousand people went missing. There was talk of maybe they went back to Spain with the Deportivo team or of a mass alien abduction. It's just one of those mysterys.

thats nothing, were still looking for the 49.000 who turned up in landsdown road to watch us play manchester united in 1968

If they are in breach of any rules then I am sure the FAI will have to act. I am not sure they have broken any specific rules (just City supporters hearts) todate but as mentioned elsewhere they will be subject to licencing criteria and 65% rules which (if broken) could result in penalties applying.

Most of the 1 million people (approx) who were at Athlone v AC Milan went on
to become Shamrock Rovers supporting taxi drivers in Dublin!

And they're just the ones who were behind the goal for that penalty!

I think it would be fair

We never worked outside the rules so we should be given our place in Europe should we finish in those places.

What part of not paying your taxes was legal exactly?

What part of not paying your taxes is covered by the FAI rules ? Many, many teams have not paid taxes and to the best of my knowledge not incurred FAI sanction. There is a difference between the law of the land and the FAI rulebook (Thank God) and I am not sure that Revenue do points deductions

What a circus CCFC, and this league in general, has become.

Rumours are that CCFC face another winding up order, this time from a 'former player'.

Mental stuff, I suppose banking on bigger gates is pretty silly in the first place. I mean, the good will is draining from the club by the second and it's all down to one man at the end of the day.
Only option is for foras to apply to A League now for next season. Sad situation.
