You can’t get an eircom League club before the close of the second transfer window so you decide to sign for a Junior club. You regain your confidence and form and turn-in several five star performances for your new club. A call from an eircom League manager follows with the offer of employment and your back to the top level of Irish domestic soccer. Forget it! Not according to the eircom League Rule book, Rule 19.20.
Its stupid alright. Isnt that what happened Jonathon Coker of Ramblers last year. He played a few games for St Marys to get his fitness up, only to find that this made him ineligible to play eL football for quite a number of months.
