How the fcuk do they let some players through and then stop Farrelly and Healy? Are these guys trying to make some work for themselves to do with appeals etc.? Looks to me like its not just the FAI that need a good shake up:mad:

I was prepared for Healy to be rejected as he wouldn't be allowed to play for another team in the UK either. I don't understand the Farrelly decision.

Obviously the club knew this could happen but I think they were right to sign the players. If the FAI had just kept its head down FIFA wouldn't have known or cared about the situation.

Does anybody on this message board know what the purpose of the rule is? I have been in sports admin for years (different code) and it seems like a funny rule to have unless there was a really good reason why it is there.

I presume it's to stop players acting as contractors, hiring themselves out to different clubs when they have a big game.

Oh, you mean like Romario signing on for one month at Adelaide in Australia playing 4 games for AUS$1m and then moving back to Brazil for his third club in a year?:p

FIFA is as corrupt as the IOC in making special deals. What happened to to one game for all?

Pete, I've seen a lot of ire from Cork fans since the announcement but does anyone know the technical reason offered for the rejection of this appeal? RRS jokes aside, there must be some reason why this case has been viewed differently to the others.

Thanks SM. That does sound plausible as a reason for having the rule. However, if that is the reason, then the person who enforced it has made a monumental horlicks of it, IMHO. The purpose behind any rule is what should be looked at before it is used.

You'd think at the very least they could come to some arrangement for the two boys to cover for Billy when he needs time off work, at least there'd be some benefit to the team that way.
