there are league games before then and were not in the final yet
Would they not carry in to the semi final before the final :confused: anyways we have 4 more league games aswell.
I know all this lad just asking a simple question
Never heard anything like that at all. Surely they would miss league games before a cup game thats a month and half away? It would be more believable if it was cup semi that they would miss i would have thought. I would hazard a guess it's somebody pulling your leg ! (I hope :) )
Ah it's alright kid, they won't have to worry about it. :p :DQuote:

We're getting to the stage of the season now that you can easily work out the delay before suspensions kick in. We're missing three for the semi and it was well known down here long before the committee met to come up with the list. I don't think the final is any different, don't think there's an amnesty I mean.
As another example, we went through our last match with no cards which we now know means we'll have no suspensions for our last league game, again even though the list won't be released for ages.
Heard it from the horses mouth! Its true.Something to do with Displinary commitee not meeting till end of month the suspension come into effect after that!Quote:

we're a minimum of 5 games away from the final (if we do make it), so surely they would have served a suspesion by then.
As regards the yellow O'Grady picked up the last night, the referee gave a corner to Bray which he realised straight away was the wrong decision, O'Grady gives him a tongue lashing, gets a yellow, Bray take corner and even before the ball reaches the penalty box the ref gives a free out for absolutley nothing. Total cop out. If those two lads miss a final because of that goons incompetence, the next time he comes to the showgies he should be kicked up and down Church Hill
if your red carded in the cup, you only miss a cup game. it dosnt effect you in the league afaik, so why would it be different if you get carded in the league, do you not just miss league games?
yellow and red cards do follow through from the FAI Cup to the league and vice versa.Quote:

Any club that make the final will be in the situation as each club have 4 0r 5 games left before the final with players on the edge of suspension more than likely to pick up a card which could leave a final with for example Bray reserves against Fingal Reseves etc.
If memory serves me correct, Rovers picked up 4 yellow cards v Galway and Bray, but there wasnt a bad tackle from either side in either game.
Referees are ruining our game
'If the disciplinary committee dont meet until the end of the month, then surely the game V Drogheda on Friday 6th of November would be the game they would miss. '
There may be play offs (that we are involved in) before the final too!! They should count.
If we do make it, can the club not make an appeal to see the lads miss a different game ? as important as it is, even the Drogs game ? I'd hate to see Conor of all players miss it TBH if we make it, never been to an FAICup Final with his local club, and the Fai Maybe taking away his only chance of winning it with us!
I know its slightly off topic but when Sligo Rovers won the league cup in 1998 was Conor O'Grady part of their squad? I hope he doesnt get suspended even though I dont like him for what he did to us two years ago..Quote:
