    Fair Play award

    Rumours that we finished as runners up. Worth a couple of grand; we would get our usual minuscule chance of qualifying for Europe if we were runners up to one of the European teams (Bohs, Pat's, Derry and Sligo, pending implosions, licences, etc.)

      vg if that is correct.
      Cork City and Derry City consistently finish very high in that table.
      As you say, UCD have benefitted from that in the past.

          The A Championship and Fair Play money (touch wood) are welcome lump sums we wouldn't have budgeted for and hopefully will help ease the pain of the loss of sponsorship cash.

              We're not arrogant, we're just better.

                  I've been out of the country for much of this year, and am completely out of the loop. I assume the Budweiser deal was not renewed then?

                      Nope. Apparently it might encourage kids to drink. (Not Budweiser's call to end it either)

                          It certainly didn't encourage them to go to football matches.

                              Ireland are currently on 7.872 in the Fair Play rankings (small pdf file), needing 8.000 to get a team into the draw. Doesn't look likely at this stage.

                                  UEFA.com is the official site of UEFA, the Union of European Football Associations, and the governing body of football in Europe. UEFA works to promote, protect and develop European football across its 55 member associations and organises some of the world’s most famous football competitions, including the UEFA Champions League, UEFA Women’s Champions League, the UEFA Europa League, UEFA EURO and many more. The site features the latest European football news, goals, an extensive archive of video and stats, as well as insights into how the organisation works, including information on financial fair play, how UEFA supports grassroots football and the UEFA HatTrick funding scheme.

                                  "..Criteria changes
                                  The UEFA Executive Committee endorsed a change to the criteria for allocating the additional places reserved to Respect Fair Play winners in next season's UEFA Europa League. As defined in the club competitions regulations, the three places in the UEFA Europa League will automatically go to the three best-placed national associations in the Respect Fair Play ranking, provided they attain an average of 8.0 points or more. This means that contrary to previous editions, there will not be a draw to determine which two national associations will have the right to enter an additional team on top of the outright winners...."

                                      Buggery boo. That's us gone. And it'll probably mean the award keeps giong to those nice Norwegians too.
