I presume all their games will be cancelled from the records (for this season) and points won against them will be deducted, hence for example Drogs will lose 3 points :eek: (oh the oh so valauble 3 points) - would I be right?

The precedent of Dublin City would suggest if a club stops playing in the league mid-season, their games are struck from the record. The only exception I can see to this is if the team had played everyone home and away and then left.
On the other side, the automatic relegation spot would be filled.
But enough about Bohs, this thread is supposed to be about CorkQuote:

I don't know whether this is the rule in League Of Ireland but it is for Junior.

I think it was posted here before that the rules have been changed since Dublin City, and if all clubs have played Cork (which they have), they get some average of point won for the remaining games
Not 100% on how it works but Pats have earned 6 points from 3 games, so we'd get 2 points for the remaining game.
No clue if points are rounded up or down
The obvious thing to do would be to keep the first two rounds of fixtures and throw out everything after that.
Its not a question of 'If' Cork are finished, its a question of 'when'.
I honestly cant see any way back for them at this stage. They have 2 weeks to pay off €400,000. Short of robbing a bank and pimping out their women, where are they going to come up with the cash?
They have 2 weeks to come to an agreement with Revenue. A sizeable enough lump sum might be enough for them

They could see it as an opportunity to make an example of a club once and for all.
I hope not. Bohs winning the league by 1/3 of a point would be another first for the league.Quote:

Was thinking the same meself. Considering they keep arguing the figure and bouncing cheques the Revenue will have little patience or trust in anything else they might propose. It's siht or get off the pot stage.Quote:

Didn't the revenue turn down the offer Drogheda put to them but were over-ruled by the judge?Quote:
